IEC60228 Cable

THHN/THWN-2

Nylon sheathed wire is a mainstream construction/industrial wiring in North America, which uses nylon sheaths to achieve high heat resistance, oil resistance, wear resistance, easy construction, and high safety. It is suitable for export, foreign-funded projects, and high standard fixed wiring scenarios.

FAQ

What is American standard nylon sheathed wire?

It refers to wires that comply with UL standards in the United States and have a layer of nylon sheath on top of PVC insulation.

What is the function of nylon sheath?

Protect the insulation layer, improve wear resistance, make the wire smoother and easier to pass through the conduit, and also prevent rodent bites and chemical corrosion.

Is this type of wire flame retardant?

Flame retardant, usually meeting VW-1 flame retardant rating, can self extinguish after leaving the flame.
