Gexol® CIR® (Crush and Impact Resistant) is a next-generation cable designed to replace older technology cables like Type MC (Metal Clad). Gexol CIR has been successfully used globally since 2002 for mission-critical equipment operating in harsh environments. CIR complies with the requirements for hazardous location cables required by UL 2225. This highly robust cable offers significant advantages over Type MC for many industrial and mining applications, including:
• UL Listed as Type TC-ER-HL, suitable for use in Class I, Division 1 locations as defined in the 2014 NEC Articles 501 and 505.• Gexol’s exclusive insulating compound provides superior flexibility, dielectric properties and field proven performance in the most severe, isolated operating environments.• Smaller bend radius, up to 40% smaller than Type MC.
• Highly flexible, unlike Type MC, CIR is flexible for easier installation. The cable can also be reused during an upgrade or retrofit.• Reduced tray fill, up to 35% less compared to Type MC.• Gas & vapor tight, impervious to water and air.• Superior, from an ergonomic perspective, CIR is safer to handle for workers and much simpler to prepare for termination.

faster and easier to install than metal clad
CIR is the fastest, safest crush-proof cable to install. Metal clad cable installation requires an expensive box of tools and a multi-step procedure for jacket removal.
safe to handle CIR has no sharp metal armor edges to imperil worker’s hands
during splicing and installation of connectors.
crush and impact Resistant Without external armoring
Passes the same stringent crush and impact testing required by UL 2225 for Type MC-HL.
arctic gradeSevere cold durability exceeds CSA cold bend / cold impact (-40°C/-35°F).
Brittle point, as per ASTM D 7646-07 exceeds, -65°C for jacket and -75°C for insulation.
