The top five things to look for in the CableCheck app :
- Look for the UL holographic label. All boxes or reels of UL listed cable must display a genuine UL holographic label.
- Check the UL mark and cable type on the cable jacket. The app shows examples of authorized UL marks for comparison.
- Check the UL file number (E number). The app provides ready access to ULs online directory to determine if the manufacturer has a UL listing.
- Examine specifications (cut sheets) for correct UL marks, references and terminology.
- Check box weight. Substantially less weight may indicate non-compliant copper clad aluminum (CCA) conductors in place of solid copper. CCA is not permitted in Category communications cable.
