The cable features bare copper conductors with fiber-reinforced polypropylene and PVC jacketing, giving it a compact 0.209-inch outside diameter. It carries a UL Type CM\/CL2 and CMX Outdoor rating, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor runs. The overall coil length is 500 feet, sold in 1-foot cut increments with a 250-foot minimum cut length. Licensed contractors and automation technicians are the primary installers for this product type.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cable is used in residential and commercial building automation, HVAC control wiring, and low-voltage communication runs where an unshielded multi-conductor cable meets the application requirements. Its sun-resistant jacket supports outdoor routing between equipment, rooftop units, and mechanical rooms. The temperature rating spans -4 degrees F to 167 degrees F, covering a wide range of installation environments. It is sold off a 500-foot coil in field-cut lengths, which suits job-site pulling and termination workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e22 AWG bare copper conductors across 12 wires for reliable low-voltage signal transmission\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePVC outer jacket with sun-resistant properties rated for outdoor and indoor use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUL Type CM\/CL2 and CMX Outdoor listed, NEC Article 725 compliant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoHS compliant per 2011\/65\/EU directive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCalifornia State Fire Marshal approved\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 0.209-inch OD fits through standard conduit and cable pathways\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold in 1-foot increments from a 500-foot coil with a 250-foot minimum cut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation cable for low-voltage automation and communication wiring applications requiring 22 AWG, 12-conductor unshielded cable meeting UL CM\/CL2 and NEC Article 725 standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified automation technician in accordance with NEC Article 725 and applicable local codes.
