Applications
Overview
• Lighting, ventilation, elevators, fire pumps VITALink MC is a 600V 2-hour fire
®
• NFPA 70/NEC – Articles 695, 700, 728, 760 rated cable listed to UL2196. When
• NFPA 72, 101 installed per systems FHIT 120, 120A,
and 60, plus the NEC, VITALink® MC
Features meets the code requirements for 2-hour
• Up to 2-hour fire resistance Fire Rated Circuits, Electrical Circuit
• Splice available Integrity Systems, Survivability, and
• Superior resistance to flame propagation Circuit Integrity. VITALink® MC Cables
offer lowered cost, reliability and ease
• Only conventional tools required to terminate of installation advantages over MI cable
• Commercially available brass/stainless steel connectors and other methods of providing fire rated
• Printed number coding allows for easy identification (ICEA Method 4) circuits.
• Labor savings on termination, installation, and handling
The equipment grounding copper
armor is terminated with commercially
• Made in USA
available brass MC connectors and the
• Superior impact & crush resistance
cable connections are made without
• Low smoke, low toxicity, halogen free design
the need for splicing or use of special
• Welded armor forms an impervious barrier
tools. Compared to Mineral Insulated
• Flexible
(MI) cable, VITALink® MC is not exposed
to costly field expenses in preparing
• Long continuous lengths available
cable ends, special panel penetrations,
• Multiple sizes and conductor counts available
additional flexible terminations and the
• VFD cable design available
splicing of shorter lengths in longer
• Copper sheath exceeds the NEC requirement for equipment grounding conductor runs. VITALink® MC is not susceptible
Table 250.122 to failures caused by moisture ingress
Performance Standards through leaky seals or faulty storage.
• UL 2196 – Listed as up to 2-hour fire rated Electrical Circuit Integrity
Systems FHIT 120, 120A, and 60 of the UL Fire Resistance Directory
• IEEE 1202/FT4 vertical flame test; ST1 limited smoke
• UL 1569 – Listed as Type MC per NFPA 70 Article 330
• Copper conductors to ASTM B8
