The multi-conductor array ofcommunication and controlcable facilitates cable pull-insand single-site installations.

This cable is typically usedfor industrial equipmentcontrol, electric valve actuationand remote signaling, as wellas communications andbroadcast applications. Thesedesigns are available in a widevariety of insulation andjacketing materials, as well asshield designs to alleviateunwanted circuit noise.

General Cable’s Carol®Brand products aremanufactured to meet thelatest UL, CSA and NECrequirements and approvals.

A Design To Meet EveryApplication

PVC/PVC designs employpolyvinyl chloride insulationsand jackets capable of meetingeveryday, general purposeapplications.

PE or PP/PVC designsemploy high qualitypolyethylene or polypropyleneinsulations to assure faithfulreproduction of transmittedsignals across interconnectioncircuits.

Foamed PP/PVC designsuse high speed, foamedpolypropylene insulations forlong distance, critical circuits,which would not perform ifhigher loss insulations wereemployed.

Rubber/Rubber is typicallyemployed in installationscharacterized as severelyhostile environments, wherethese designs provideunsurpassed service life.

Rubber/Carolprene® offersthe ultimate performance forapplications that demand thegreatest protection from theenvironment, includingphysical abuse. The speciallyformulated Carolprene® jackethas been proven time andagain to withstand all types ofabuse, both mechanical andchemical.

In many electronicapplications, two wires arerequired to complete circuits;these are often referred to as“balanced arrays” or “twistedpair” constructions.

Paired cable designs findfrequent application in circuitsrequiring circuit-to-circuitisolation from noise,minimization of capacitanceimbalances and a reduction ofEMI interference currents.

Circuit separation is furtherenhanced in those designsemploying individual circuitshields in concert with anoverall shield. These shieldingsystems are available fromGeneral Cable in myriadcombinations to suit the uniqueneeds of the circuit designer.

As with the multi-conductordesigns, a wide array ofinsulating and jacketingmaterials are available to meetspecific electronic applications.

General Cable’s Carol® Brandcommunication cable productsare manufactured to meet thelatest UL, CSA and NECrequirements and approvals.

To meet the needs of today’ssophisticated, high-speed,wide bandwidth electronicsover long distances, withminimum signal loss ordegradation, General CableCarol® and Helix/HiTemp™

Brands offers a wide range ofcoaxial and twinaxial designsin both unbalanced arrays andprecision balanced pairs. Thisoffers the system designer awide choice of cost-effectiveproducts that reflect the mostrecent changes in thestandards set by UL, CSA and/or the FCC.

Included in this section arerecommended Carol® Brandcoaxial products for the CATVmarket. However, theseconstructions may differ incertain parts of the country.

Unlike other products in theelectronic market, coaxial cabledoes not have one accepted

standard construction.General Cable recommends,

in order to avoid installing anunacceptable coaxial cable forthe CATV application in yourarea, the local CATV companyshould be consulted.

General Cable’s Carol® Brandproduct mix encompassesstandard RG/U-type coaxialconstructions in the morepopular 50, 75 and 93 ohmdesigns and miniature coaxialproducts for smaller high-speed applications.

The twinaxial products meetor exceed the stringentdemands of today’s precisionbalanced pair systems. Theminimization of capacitanceunbalance is a necessaryrequirement for long distancedata transmission.

Fire alarm systems haveexpanded from a rather simpleand unsophisticated businessconfigured upon large, electro-mechanical devices to onerelying upon the most moderntechnologies of microprocessorand chip technology.

More and more end users—industrial, commercial as wellas consumer—are relying uponthese emerging systems toprotect both property and life.These systems are only asgood as their weakestcomponent, whether thatcomponent be a processor orinterconnecting wire and cable.

It is General Cable’s charterthat all products supplied foruse in these and any othersystems shall be constructedof only the finest availablematerials, and provide theservice and assurance that theend user not only needs, butrequires.

Aside from the qualitymaterials used in thesedesigns, specifiers and endusers of Carol® Brand wire andcable products have come toexpect that these cables areregistered and certified with

the leading regulatory agenciessuch as UnderwritersLaboratories … and we haven’tlet you down!

These designs have proventhemselves in the area of firesystem security over time; allare fabricated with solid, barecopper conductors andinsulations and jackets ofpremium-grade PVC. Offeredboth with and without shields,the former to protect thesecritical circuits from noise,these cables will provide thelatest in available technologyfor the system installer andcontractor.

General Cable Carol® Brandproducts are convenientlypackaged in 1000' or 500'Iengths to assist the installer.

The sound and securityindustry in the United Stateshas grown from a simple andunsophisticated business,begun some 45 years ago, toone which has developedtechnology to the degree thatspecialized wires and cablesare now much in demand.

No longer are the securityand sound industriescharacterized by largeelectromechanical relays andlarge contactors; today thesecircuits incorporate the latest in microprocessors and solidstate devices to not onlyimprove functionality but alsoto guarantee performance.

As a major wire producer,our role is to ensure that thewires and cables that go intothese systems are as reliableas the other components…the net result is a fullyintegrated system which willprovide peace of mind to thesystem user.

Also in this section areGeneral Cable’s Carol® Brandwire and cable designs suitablefor a variety of applications,both in industrial andcommercial environments,

including telephone systems,intercoms, burglar alarms,business machines andthermostats.

Aside from the qualitymaterials used in thesedesigns, specifiers and usersof Carol® Brand wire and cableproducts have come to expectthat these cables are registeredand certified with the leadingregulatory agencies such asUnderwriters Laboratories…and we haven’t let you down!

Carol® Brand designs haveproven themselves in the areaof sound and security overtime; most are fabricated withsolid or stranded, bare copperconductors with insulationsand jackets of premium gradesof PVC. We offer both paralleland cabled designs both withand without shields. Sequentialfootage markings on thejackets are offered on allproducts.

General Cable Carol® Brandproducts are convenientlypackaged in 1000' or 500'Iengths to assist the installer.

NEC Article 725, Article 800,Coaxial Cable, Plenum 118

Most industrial and officebuildings today feature dropceilings which support varioustypes of lighting, airducts forheating and cooling systems,and wiring for power andcommunications.

This space in a buildingbetween the floor above andthe drop ceiling is beingutilized for ventilation systemsor used for return airdistribution and is referred toas a “PLENUM.”

Because the plenum iscontinuous across each floor of a building, it can create asignificant hazard by spreadingflames quickly fromcombustible materials such aswire insulation.

The National Electrical Code (NEC) demands thatwiring in the plenum either beinstalled inside metal conduitor have jacket materials thatprovide adequate fireresistance and low smoke-producing characteristics astested and approved by arecognized agency such asUnderwriters Laboratory (UL).

General Cable’s large mix of Carol® Brand plenum cable and wire products featuresDuPont Teflon®, otherfluorocarbon resins as well as Flexguard.® Flexguard® is a unique copolymer blendwhich joins superiorperformance with superiorhandling characteristics. They meet all UL and NECrequirements for low-smokecharacteristics and flame-retardant qualities.

Also, General Cable’splenum products provideoutstanding electricalproperties, high-temperatureperformance and excellentchemical resistance.

General Cable’s Carol® Brandplenum cable is available tomeet the requirements of NECArticles 725 and 800.

Fluorobus CableFlat Bus Ground / Power Distribution Cable

Applications:Ideally suited for low-voltage primary andsecondary power distribution in electronicand data processing equipment. High-speed, solid- state circuits require relativelyhigh currents with low voltage. For thisreason, it is essential that DC powerdistribution lines have low inductance, lowresistance and high capacitance. Moreimportant, tightly bundled or laminated flatcable source-and-return circuits deliverlower impedance and higher capacitance byone to two orders of magnitude, comparedto round wire circuits with equal resistance.

This system can serve as a low-cost flexiblealternative to laminated bus bars. TheFluorobus low-profile routing capability is auseful packaging feature and its largesurface area (relative to round wireconductor of equal resistance) providesimproved heat dissipation, minimizes voltagedrop and results in a higher current rating.

This flat conductor circuit delivers superiorEMI/RFI performance, both as a source andas a receiver.

Features Benefits

Flexible: Ease of routing
