Meets the Canadian CSA FT4 flame test, which is more stringent than the NEC CM test. Required for installations under Canadian Electrical Code (CEC). Equivalent to CM in the NEC substitution hierarchy. Dual-listed cables (CM/CMG) cover both U.S. and Canadian jurisdictions.
Moss LED Use Cases
- Any LED project requiring Canadian code compliance
- Multi-floor commercial LED installs in Canada
- Data and control cable for LED systems under CEC
- Concert venues and arenas under Canadian jurisdiction
- Cross-border projects needing dual NEC/CEC rating
Cable Type Quick Decision Guide
Not sure which grade to specify? Start here:
- Residential or basic in-wall LED runs? → CL2 or CL3
- Canadian project or CSA compliance needed? → CMG
- Vertical runs between floors in a building? → CMR
- Above drop ceilings or air-handling spaces? → CMP
- Internal fixture or driver wiring during manufacturing? → AWM
Pro Tip
When in doubt on a film or TV set, CMR is a solid default for most permanent installs. For temporary stage builds and location shoots, CL3 is usually sufficient. AWM is only for internal fixture wiring during manufacturing — never for field runs. Always verify with the location's fire marshal or AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction) before installation.
Reference guide only. Always consult NEC/CEC codes, local AHJ, and a licensed electrician for your specific installation. Cable substitution rules per NEC 725.154 and 800.154.
