4. APPLICATION / SERVICE CONDITIONS

These cables are designed to be suitable for fixed installations in duct, conduit, ladder, tray
and direct burial in ground.
The insulation and other components are capable of operation continuously at a maximum
conductor temperature of 90oC for normal operation and 250oC for short circuit conditions.
