Application
Southwire’s Machine Flex<sup>®</sup> Tray Control is a flexible 20 AWG 300/600V cable and suitable for machine tool, Power Limited Tray and Instrumentation Tray and both exposed run (PLTC-ER & ITC-ER) applications. This product conforms to the NFPA 79 and suited for use in wet and dry areas, conduits, ducts, troughs, trays and where superior electrical properties are desired. It has North American approvals, is CE RoHS-2 for universal use in, on and off the machines utilized in industrial manufacturing work centers. For use in Class 1 Div 2 locations per NEC 501 and 502. These cables can operate continuously at the conductor temperature not in excess of 90C, 130C for emergency overload and 150C for short circuit conditions. Suitable for use in CNC machines, processing and packaging equipment, assembly lines, control panels food and beverage and plant expansions.

* Ampacities based upon 2023 NEC Table 310.16 and do not take into account the overcurrent protection limitations in NEC 240.4(D) of 15 Amps for 14 AWG CU, 20 Amps for 12 AWG CU, and 30 Amps for 10 AWG CU (independent of the conductor temperature rating and stranding if size is present in table). Also, see NEC sections 310.15 and 110.14(C) for additional requirements.
* Ampacities have been adjusted for more than Three Current-Carrying Conductors.
