Power Wire

Lineage Power KS-24194 Power Wire is a rugged,
RHH wire rated for 600 V and is available in
several colors. This non-halogenated wire offers
advanced safety characteristics thatare critical
during a fire. KS-24194 is offered in three versions:

o List 2: Class I, unbraided cover

o List 3: Class B, braided cover

o List 4: Class I, braided cover

Added Safeguards

KS-24194 Power Wire has excellent fire-retardant
properties, plus a number of protective
characteristics vital to sensitive electronic circuitry.
Corrosive smoke during a fire is a major cause of
damage to circuitry embedded in electronics
equipment. Upon combustion, KS-24194
insulation produces only low levels of smoke,
corrosive gases, and smoke toxicity.

Rugged Construction

KS-24194 Power Wire has stranded, tin-coated
copper conductors. An optional flame-retardant
cotton braid exhibits high cut-through resistance.

Applications

KS-24194 Power Wire is ideally suited for use in
telecommunication plants and for power
distribution of ac and dc power in conduit or cable
trays.

Benefits

■ Safe, Reliable, and Versatile

o Meets a variety of UL

‡

Code

, and Bellcore§ wire classifications and

ratings

■ Protect Life and Equipment

o Lead-free and silicon-free, RoHS compliant

o Controlled emissions produce low smoke, low

corrosive gases, and low toxicity upon
combustion

■ Use in a Variety of Conditions

o Damp and dry locations

o Insulation is heat-, moisture-, and sunresistant

for most colors

o Optional flame-retardant cotton-braided cover

features high cut-through resistance

* RHH is a National Electrical Code designation assigned to

qualified flame-retardant thermoset insulation for dry and

damp locations.
