Macedonia, OH (PRWEB) April 24, 2014 -- TPC Wire & Cable Corp., a leading supplier of wire, cable, connectors and assemblies, is pleased to announce a new product family of non-armored cable glands specifically designed for Hazardous Locations. The National Electric Code (NEC) refers to Hazardous Locations as an area where fire or explosion hazards exist due to flammable gasses or vapors, flammable liquids, combustible dust or ignitable fibers or filings.
