UL Wire Support for Cable Assemblies

When a project requires UL wire, cable, wiring harness component, or appliance wiring material support, MTTJ checks the drawing, material, target market, and required records against the applicable wire, cable, or component documents.

Wire gauge and conductor selection

The diagram shows wire spools and conductor sizes used to discuss wire gauge, conductor count, and cable-construction inputs.

Assemblies using named wire/cable

  • North America-oriented equipment programs
  • Internal equipment wiring
  • Power and control assemblies
  • Signal cable assemblies
  • OEM device harnesses

Specified wire, connector ends, labels, records

  • Single-conductor wire assemblies
  • Multi-conductor cable assemblies
  • Connectorized assemblies using applicable UL-recognized wire or cable
  • Labeling and required record package
  • Required wire and cable records

Named component documentation

  • Applicable UL-recognized wire or cable
  • PVC insulation or jacket where specified
  • Application-specific insulation and jacket materials

Component documents

Match wire ratings to the named component document

The wire or cable family, part number, voltage and temperature rating, construction, and intended use should be stated exactly as shown in the supplied document.

Wire and cable documentsSupplied documents state the wire family, construction, and use limits.
Rated voltageVoltage rating follows the specified wire or cable document.
Temperature ratingTemperature rating follows the selected wire or cable document.
Wire gaugeElectrical load and selected wire construction set the gauge.
Required recordsName the record package with the inquiry if the shipment needs it.
