Product Information

Full details

This LAPP Strand Multi-Standard SC 2.1 wire is designed for electricians and industrial professionals needing reliable, fire-safe cabling in demanding environments. Its key benefit is enhanced safety due to its halogen-free and flame-retardant properties, making it suitable for public buildings and transportation systems. However, its operational temperature limit of +70°C means it's not suitable for very high-temperature applications. This guide covers its features, uses, and care.

FAQs

What does 'halogen-free' mean for this wire?

Halogen-free means the wire's insulation and jacket do not contain halogens like chlorine or bromine. In the event of a fire, this significantly reduces the emission of toxic and corrosive gases, improving safety and visibility.

Can this wire be used outdoors?

This wire is primarily intended for use in dry rooms. While it has a wide temperature range, it may not be suitable for prolonged outdoor exposure to UV radiation or moisture without additional protection.

What is the maximum current carrying capacity?

The current carrying capacity depends on installation method, ambient temperature, and conductor size. For precise ratings, consult the relevant electrical codes and LAPP's technical documentation for 0.50 mm² conductors.

Is this wire suitable for direct burial?

No, this wire is not designed for direct burial. It should be installed in conduits, trunking, or other protective enclosures.

What is the difference between MTW, TEW, and HAR ratings?

These are different standards: MTW (Machine Tool Wire) is for US industrial applications, TEW (Thermoplastic-Elastomer Wire) is for Canadian industrial applications, and HAR (Harmonized) is a European standard. Having all three ensures broad international applicability.

How do I clean the wire if it gets dirty?

You can clean the PVC insulation with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh solvents or abrasive cleaners that could damage the material.

What is the maximum operating temperature for continuous use?

The maximum operating temperature for continuous use is +70°C. It can withstand higher temperatures for shorter periods under specific conditions as per its ratings.

Troubleshooting

Intermittent connection or high resistance

Check that the wire is securely terminated at both ends. Ensure the conductor is clean and free from corrosion. Verify that the correct size of terminal or connector is being used.

Insulation damage during installation

Use appropriate tools for stripping the insulation to avoid nicking the conductor. Be careful when pulling the wire through conduits or around tight bends to prevent abrasion or crushing.

Wire not flexible enough for routing

While designed for flexibility, extreme cold can reduce pliability. Allow the wire to warm to room temperature if working in very cold conditions. Ensure installation paths are not overly restrictive.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Enhanced safety in fire events due to halogen-free and flame-retardant properties.
  • Versatile use in various applications including control cabinets, lighting, and distribution panels.
  • Broad compliance with international standards (UL, CSA, HAR) for global use.
  • Durable construction resistant to oils at room temperature.
  • Suitable for both dry rooms and environments with potential fire risks.

Cons

  • Maximum operating temperature of +70°C limits use in extremely high-temperature environments.
  • May require specialized installation techniques for optimal performance and safety.
  • As a single conductor, it requires separate insulation or conduit for different circuits.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This wire is designed for straightforward installation in dry rooms. It can be routed through conduits, trunking, or used for direct internal wiring of equipment and control cabinets. Ensure proper stripping of the PVC insulation before making connections.

Compatibility:

The LAPP SC 2.1 wire is compatible with standard electrical connectors, terminals, and cable glands. It is particularly well-suited for use with Lapp's SKINTOP CLICK cable glands for efficient and secure entry into enclosures. Its multi-standard compliance (UL, CSA, HAR) ensures compatibility with electrical systems in North America and Europe.

Care:

  • Keep the wire clean and free from excessive dust or debris.
  • Avoid sharp bends or kinks during installation, as this can damage the insulation.
  • Regularly inspect connections for tightness and signs of wear, especially in industrial environments.
  • While oil-resistant at room temperature, prolonged exposure to aggressive solvents or high-temperature oils may degrade the insulation over time.
