UL 2464 cable is a widely used appliance wiring material (AWM) for internal wiring of electronic equipment, control panels, and industrial machinery. This article covers its specifications, choice criteria, and why UL 2464 Cable from singi-cable meets the quality and compliance needs of engineers and buyers.
UL 2464 is a UL-listed appliance wiring material (AWM) cable recognized under UL 758. It consists of stranded tinned or bare copper conductors, PVC insulation, and a PVC jacket with multiple conductors (2 to 12 cores or more). The cable is rated for 300V and temperatures up to 80°C or 105°C depending on construction. Common applications include internal wiring of computers, office equipment, medical devices, control boxes, and industrial machinery where flexibility and resistance to mild environmental stress are needed.
UL certification ensures the cable meets stringent flame retardance, mechanical strength, and electrical performance standards. For OEMs and equipment manufacturers, using UL 2464 cable simplifies compliance with UL 508A (industrial control panels) and UL 60950 (IT equipment). It also reduces liability risks and speeds up product certification. A UL mark on the cable jacket provides traceability and confidence for end users and inspectors.
Note: UL 2464 is specified for internal wiring where cables are not exposed to continuous flexing or outdoor conditions. For high-flex or outdoor applications, consider UL 2464 with stranded conductors and appropriate temperature rating.
Choice depends on three main factors:
Below is a comparison of typical UL 2464 configurations offered by singi-cable.
| Parameter | Standard UL 2464 | Shielded UL 2464 |
|---|---|---|
| Volt-level Rating | 300V | 300V |
| Temperature Range | -20°C to 80°C | -20°C to 80°C |
| Conductor | Stranded tinned copper | Stranded tinned copper |
| Insulation | PVC | PVC |
| Jacket | PVC | PVC |
| Shielding | None | Aluminum foil + tinned copper braid |
| Typical Applications | Internal wiring in IT equipment | Areas with EMI/RFI interference |
When sourcing UL 2464 cable, verify the following:
Always request a datasheet and test reports from the manufacturer. singi-cable provides full compliance documentation for its UL 2464 cables.
Buyers ask about order quantities, lead times, and custom printing. Some common issues:
A: UL 2464 is the base standard; variants like UL 2464-80 or UL 2464-105 indicate temperature rating. The dash number is not universal; always check the manufacturer's marking.
A: No, UL 2464 is designed for indoor dry locations. For outdoor or wet locations, use UL listed cables with water-resistant jackets (e.g., UL 2464 but with PVC jacket rated for sunlight).
A: 2 to 12 conductors, but custom configurations up to 24 conductors are available from singi-cable.
A: Yes, most manufacturers produce RoHS-compliant versions. Singi-cable UL 2464 cables are RoHS and REACH compliant.
