This 10 AWG, 2-conductor shielded VNTC (Vinyl Nylon Tray Cable) is a high-performance industrial cable designed for power and control applications requiring protection against electromagnetic interference (EMI). Featuring a 100% aluminum foil shield and robust THHN/PVC construction, it is the industry standard for single-phase circuits or specialized control loops in electrically noisy environments.

Key Features of 10-2 Shielded VNTC

• Total Noise Isolation: The overall aluminum foil-polyester tape shield, backed by a tinned copper drain wire, provides a 100% barrier against EMI/RFI, protecting sensitive digital signals from the “noise” generated by surrounding power lines and machinery.

• Heavy-Duty Power Handling: With 10 AWG stranded copper conductors, this cable supports higher amperage loads than standard control cables, making it ideal for equipment that requires both power and signal integrity.

• Ruggedized Construction: The THHN/THWN conductors are protected by a tough nylon skin and a flame-retardant, sunlight-resistant PVC jacket, allowing for reliable use in the most demanding industrial settings.

• Versatile Placement: Rated for 600V and suitable for use in cable trays, conduits, and raceways. Its durable jacket also makes it approved for direct burial and use in Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations.

Common Applications

• Precision Control Loops: Used for 24V or 120V control circuits where signal accuracy is critical, such as in telemetry or high-end instrumentation.

• Small Equipment Power: Ideal for powering small motors, fans, or actuators that are located near sensitive electronic equipment.

• Industrial Automation: Connecting PLCs (Programmable Logic Controllers) to field devices in manufacturing plants, refineries, and water treatment facilities.

• VFD Peripheral Control: Serving as a shielded control feed for auxiliary components associated with Variable Frequency Drives.
