Challenges of mini-split wiring
Ductless Mini-Split Units require
stranded conductors for
communication within the system.
Tray cables have been repurposed for
mini-split installation.
Tray cables twist and jacket power and
communication conductors together
without the proper insulation.
This causes AC/DC noise corruption
communication between units.
This corruption can cause faulty
communication within the unit
and possible burnout!

Why Duckt-Strip?
Designed and manufactured to eliminate
Communication Error Code Service Call Backs
caused by AC/DC Crosstalk.
Duckt-Strip uses Rip N' Strip Technology to easily
separate conductors without a blade!
Using Duckt-Strip will save you time, money, and
reputation – limiting call backs.

Quality
Duckt-Strip adds insulation to each conductor
sufficiently isolating power and communication signals
preventing AC/DC Crosstalk.
Only cable that satisfies the
National Electric Code
(NEC) Article 725.136
completely separating Power
and Communication Conductors
through its unique design with
sufficient insulation end-to-end.
Tray Cable: 30 mm of PVC
Duckt-Strip: 30 mm PVC + 35 mm of PVC jacket

Let’s Talk About Joist Pull And Tray Cables
Why does Duckt-Strip not mention joist pull (JP) on the cable or spec
sheets? Because Duckt-Strip is not a tray cable (TC).
Questions an Electrical Inspector MUST ask of a TC-ER-JP cable
Is the cable…
600v rated? Stranded? Sunlight resistant?
Flame retardant? Direct buried rated? Outdoor rated?
Mildew resistant? UL493 approved? UL2988 approved?
Are the AC and DC conductors separated as per NEC 725.136?
No TC-ER-JP cable meets these requirements.
Only 1 cable does – Duckt-Strip.
