CIR® - Crush & Impact Resistant Cables

CIR^® Passes the Same Crush & Impact Testing Required by UL2225 for Type MC-HL

AmerCable CIR is designed to replace older-technology cables like Type MC. CIR has been successfully used globally since 2002 for mission-critical equipment operating in harsh environments.

Insulated with GEXOL^® – AmerCable’s exclusive insulating compound provides superior flexibility, dielectric properties and field-proven performance in the harshest environments.
Smaller bend radius (up to 40% smaller)
Reduced tray fill (up to 35% less) compared to Type MC
Gas & vapor tight – impervious to water and air
Rated TC-ER-HL

Extreme Cold

Brittlepoint as per ASTM D 746-07 exceeds -65°C for Jacket and -75°C for Insulation

Smaller Bend Radius

Up to 40% smaller bend radius and reduced tray fill compared to Type MC

Lower Cost Glands

Up to 50% less than those for Type MC

“Two things contractors and engineers can’t stop raving about are the flexibility of the CIR cable and the easiness of prepping for terminations.” – Doug Miller

CIR^® Offers Significant Advantages Over Type MC:

Highly flexible – unlike Type MC, CIR is flexible for easier installation. The cable can also be reused during an upgrade or retrofit.
Designed to operate in extremely cold environments
- Exceeds CSA cold bend/cold impact (-40°C/-35°C)
- Brittlepoint as per ASTM D 746-07 exceeds -65°C for the Jacket and -75°C for the Insulation.
Insulated with GEXOL^®
Smaller bend radius (up to 40% smaller) and Reduced tray fill (up to 35% less) compared to Type MC
Gas & vapor tight – impervious to water and air
Considerably more flexible than Type MC
Reduced installation time and overall costs
Glands are up to 50% less than for Type MC

Is your operation land-based?

CIR^®-2 is ideal for downstream/midstream facilities, well pads and land drilling operations where environmental conditions present unique challenges to a cable’s service life. CIR-2 is ideal for applications where you need a crush & impact rated cable but don’t want to deal with the complex requirements of Type MC installation. CIR-2 cables comply with UL 2225 requirements for hazardous location cables.
