VITALink® MC is a 600V 2-hour fire rated
cable listed to UL 2196. It is specifically
designed to meet both the electrical
and fire-resistive cable requirements of
NFPA 130 and NFPA 502 for emergency
communications, emergency lighting &
emergency ventilation. When installed
per systems FHIT 120, 120A, and 60,
plus the NEC, VITALink® MC meets
code requirements for 2-hour Fire
Rated Circuits, Electrical Circuit Integrity
Systems, Survivability and Circuit
Integrity. VITALink® MC Cables offer
lowered cost, reliability and ease of
installation advantages over MI cable
and other methods of providing fire rated
circuits.
The equipment grounding copper
armor is terminated with commercially
available brass MC connectors and the
cable connections are made without
the need for splicing or use of special
tools. Compared to Mineral Insulated
(MI) cable, VITALink® MC is not exposed
to costly field expenses in preparing
cable ends, special panel penetrations,
additional flexible terminations and the
splicing of shorter lengths in longer
runs. VITALink® MC is not susceptible
to failures caused by moisture ingress
through leaky seals or faulty storage. (VT01)
