VITALink® MC is a 600V 2-hour fire
rated cable listed to UL2196. When
installed per systems FHIT 120, 120A,
and 60, plus the NEC, VITALink MC
meets the 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. (VC01-VITALink)
