tray cable

[petersonra]

I have been trapped into specifying some tray cable for a customer. I just normally do not do this and have no clue what brands might be cheaper, and/or what options might cost less or be more useful. Customer has asked about Belden, but I don't want to suggest something that is insanely expensive compared to a more cost effective alternative.

It can be 2C #18, some will need to be shielded. As I understand it they are planning to run it in actual real cable tray.

I was thinking 27325A looks safe, as far as not being anything special, so unlikely to be unusually pricey. It appears the same cable number with an "S" suffix is shielded.

Not my area either... hmy:

Look at General Cable products, too... if for nothing else but a comparison.

Here's a link to their catalog: http://catalog.proemags.com/publication/54eb2963#/54eb2963/1

I gave them the belden PN and the PN for the 3C version of it for circuits that need an EGC.

I fully expect that their idea of cable tray will actually be wire duct, so I specifically told them LISTED cable tray and LISTED TC.
