All manufacturer* are listed for 600-volt wires- As stated in the individual listings,
certain manufacturer* are also listed for wires with voltage rating up to 5000 volts.
Tyne AVli wire may empjoy copper, or aiuminum, or copper-clad aluminum conductors. Wires with copper-clad aluminum conductor* are surface printed "AL (CU-CLAE)-1'
Wires with aluminum conductors shall be surface printed "AL." The ampacity of copper-clad aluminum conductors is the same as for aluminum
conductors. The wire connectors used "with copper-clad aluminum conductors shall be recognized for use with copper and aluminum conductors and shall be marked "AL-CU." except that 12-10 Awg solid copper-clad aluminum conductors may be used with wire binding screws and in pressure-plate and push-in spring-type connecting mechanisms that
are recognized for use with copper conductors. Copper-clad aluminum conductors are suit able for intermixing with copper or aluminum conductors in terminals for splicing
connections only when the wire connectors are specifically recognized for such use. Such
intermixed connections are limited to use in dry locations.

FIXTURE WIRE (460 16) 2IPR
Fixture wires me isted 6bh volts, or less, as shown, ami comply with the Standard for Flexible Coid and Fixture Wire of Underwriters' .Laboratories, Inc. (TJL52).
All conductors are copper except fixture wire having a temperature rating higher than 90 C may employ nick*?).
Thermoplastic compounds may stiffen at temperatures below minus 10 C (14 F) and care should be used in handling at such temperatures.
Gasuhne resistant wire has been tested at 30 C when immersed in gasoline. It is con sidered inherently resistant to gasoline vapors within the limits of the temperature rating of the wire type.
Gasoline resistant TFN or TFFN--Indicates a TFN and TFFN conductor with a jacket of extruded nylon suitable for exposure to mineral oil, and to liquid gasoline and gaso line vapors at trilinary ambient temperature. It is identified by tag marking and by printing on the insulation or nylon jacket with the designation "Type TFN (TFFN) Gasoline and Oil Resistant I" if suitable for exposure to mineral oil at 60 C or "Type TFN (TFFN) Gasoline and Oil Resistant II" if the compound is suitable for exposure to mineral oil at 75 C.
Fixture wires are classified as follows: 60 C maximum operating temperature. Tbermoplasttc-inaulated wires. 600 v. 18-16 AWG sizes: Types TF, TFF. Christmas-tree wire*. 125 v. 20-18 AWG size: Type FXT*. The maximum voitage is 300, provided that the nominal thickness of the in
sulation on the conductor is 2/64 in. 75 C maximum operating temperature. Rubber-insulated, beat-resistant wires. 300 v, 18 AWG size: Types RFH-l, FFH-1. 600 v. 18-16 AWG sizes: Types RFH-2. FFH-2, 90 C maximum operating temperature.
Cotton-insulated wire, 300 v. 18-10 AWG sizes: Type CF.
Thermoplastic-insulated wires. 600 v. 18-16 AWG sizes: Types TFN. TFFN.
