Product Overview
Cable TSJ TSJ-N 600V is a multi-core flexible copper portable cord with PVC+Nylon insulated conductors and an overall PVC jacket, manufactured to Colombian standard NTC 5521 with compliance to ASTM B172 (rope-lay stranded copper), ASTM B174 (bunch-stranded copper), UL-62 (flexible cord), and UL-83 (thermoplastic insulated wire). TSJ = Thermoplastic Service Jacket — the Colombian standard designation for 600V portable power cord with 105°C PVC+Nylon conductor insulation and a black PVC outer sheath. Available in three multi-core configurations: Duplex (2-core, 7 AWG sizes 18-10), Triplex (3-core, 7 sizes 18-10), and Quadruplex (4-core, 7 sizes 18-10) — a total of 21 variants covering the full North and South American portable cord AWG range.
The double-layer conductor insulation — an inner 105°C PVC layer bonded with an outer Nylon (polyamide) jacket — is the same THHN/THWN technology used in North American building wire, providing the triple advantage of high-temperature operation (105°C, 35°C above standard PVC), mechanical abrasion resistance from the Nylon jacket, and chemical/oil resistance for industrial environments. The outer black PVC sheath provides overall mechanical protection, moisture resistance, and flame retardancy per UL-62. Class 5 flexible copper conductors per ASTM B172 rope-lay stranding deliver the extreme flexibility required for portable cord applications — the cable must coil, uncoil, drape over equipment edges, and withstand repeated handling without conductor fatigue or insulation cracking. Core identification follows US convention: White+Black (Duplex), White+Black+Green (Triplex), White+Black+Red+Green (Quadruplex) — the standard North American 120/240V and 208Y/120V colour scheme.
Class 5 Flexible Copper (ASTM B172)
Rope-lay bunch stranded soft annealed fine copper wires. Maximum flexibility for portable cord use — coiling, uncoiling, and repeated handling without fatigue.
