I tried to avoid answering the question by claiming that it was a problem for the installing contractor but i have been forced to suggest some cabling for use in some low voltage field devices.
Some of them are Class 2 circuits, other are just 24VDC or 4-20 mA signals (some are class 2, some are not).
Normally I would not make anything a class 2 circuit, but I had to in this case because it was convenient from a UL listing issue.
Most of the cables would appear to be part of the equipment as opposed to part of the building wiring. But there are some longer rungs that are probably going to be viewed as not part of the equipment as they will be routed in cable trays from one enclosure to another.
I just do not do much specifying of this kind of thing so what is a good (read cheap) choice for this kind of thing?
