UL Specification Number: UL2426 / UL 2426 / UL-2426
Wire Type: Thermoplastic-Insulated and Jacketed Cable.
Standard: Appliance Wiring Material UL 758.
Issued Date: 1966-03-04
Revised Date: 2003-03-31
Rating: 90 C Dry and 60 10fldrslt f3 C Wet, 600 Volts.
Conductor: Two or more. Two conductor cable may be flat or twisted. Three or more conductors shall be twisted. If more than one groups is used, groups shall be twisted together. (The length of lay of the twisted conductors or groups is not specified). Fillers may be used in a cable but are not required. A barrier layer, if employed, may be a fibrous wrap, serving, or braid; paper; nylon; oriented polyethylene terephthalate; or a thermoplastic-tape wrap. Such a barrier layer would serve to protect the cable during further processing, and would be applied immediately over the twisted assembly of individual conductors or groups of conductors.
