Kaf-Tech first launched MC Luminary Cable in 2014. MC Luminary Cable is a UL Listed Type MC-PCS cable which combines both power and control circuits under one armor. These cables are primarily used in commercial construction projects such as casinos, condos, hotels, shopping centers and retail centers – although its usage can be quite versatile.
MC Luminary Cable combines power and control circuits under a single interlocked armor. This reduces installation time and materials on the job site by running one armored cable as compared to an installation that runs power circuits and a separate control circuit.
All MC Luminary products are designed for LED and fluorescent dimming systems. Multiple MC Luminary Cables can be used in daylight harvesting applications to wire multiple zone rooms which utilize building management systems to automatically dim or raise lighting at certain times. These products come in both steel and aluminum armor. Power circuits are THHN insulated conductors with a twisted jacketed pair of TFN insulated control circuits.
To learn more about MC Luminary Cables, watch our video below or request a sample of our MC Luminary products. Kaf-Tech offers additional styles of MC Luminary Cable which include a health care (HCF) version called MC Luminary HCF, as well as MC Luminary MultiZone, which combines multiple control pairs and multiple configurations.
The newest and most innovative product launched by Kaf-Tech is MC Luminary Cable Type MC-PCS* (U.S. Patent Pending) comes in two different versions: MC Tuff Luminary Cable and MC Lite Luminary Cable.
