Control Cable Definition: A cable used for remote control
operation of any type of electrical power equipment.
A Control cable may also be referred to as a data cable or communication cable.
Control Cable Variants;
Multi-Conductor or Multi-Pair cables
Shielded or un-shielded cable, and or shielded or un-shielded wire pairs.
Data cables might range between 14 and 22AWG, although any wire gauge is possible.
Control Cable Ampacity table notes;
The weight of the cable for each gauge is provided for insulation T.
Cables using insulation X or E should be 3 to 5 percent lighter.
T designates Polyvinyl Chloride, E designates Ethylene Propylene Rubber, X designates Cross-Linked Polyethylene.
The ampacity for the cables are for double-banked cables [cable is in one of two rows of side-by-side cables] within cable trays at 45C.
Derating factor vs temperature for other than 45 degrees centigrade:
T insulation derating factor 1.08 [40C] or 0.91 [50C].
X or E insulation derating factor 1.05 [40C] or 0.94 [50C] or 0.82 [60C].
Multiple the derating factor by the number in the table to obtain the ampacity for the temperature provided.
Ampacities are average for all conductors within the cable. The absolute maximum is 1.5x the values shown.
Engineering Note;
Stranded wire should be used for conductors and cables which are normally flexed in use.
Stranded wire should be used with cables attached to the movable half of detachable connectors and
hanging
cables attached to removable or movable doors and shields.
