Super-Trex® Reduced Diameter Control Cable (20 AWG)

I’m a big proponent of TPC Wire & Cable and have used many of their product offerings over the past several years at Simpson Tacoma Kraft. We used the 16/3 Super-Trex® Ultra-Gard® Portable Cable power our new LED lights on one of our roadways. Regular SO Cord would always become dry rotted and crack, causing the light to become inoperable. I have not experienced this problem with the Super-Trex cable.

This 20 AWG Reduced Diameter Control Cable features polyester TPE conductor insulation that has high dielectric, tensile, and mechanical properties. The nylon fillers on these control cables are low friction, non-wicking fillers that provide excellent flexibility. This control cable has completed 20 million cycles without electrical failure in cat track testing. It's available in 20 AWG and various conductor counts (from 5 to 65 conductors) and is also available in 18 AWG, 16 AWG, and 12 AWG.
