Applications
For use in closed environments or populated spaces such as auditoriums, arenas and health facilities where more stringent customer specifications for smoke and halogen-free materials are desired. Ideally suited for use in a broad range of commercial, industrial and utility applications where reliability is a major concern, where maximum performance will be demanded and where space is limited. For use in free air, raceways or direct burial in accordance with NEC
