Insulation
Okoguard Is Okonite's registered trade name for its exclusive ethylene-propylene rubber (EPR) base, thermosetting compound, whose optimum balance of electrical and physical properties is unequaled in other solid dielectrics. Okoguard insulation, with the distinctive red color and a totally integrated EPR system, provides the optimum balance of electrical and physical properties for long, problem free service.

Assembly
The Type MV-105 conductors are assembled with fillers and a binder tape overall. One bare stranded copper ground conductor is placed in one of the outer interstices.

Jacket
The Okoseal (PVC) jacket supplied with this cable is mechanically rugged and has excellent resistance to oil and most chemicals.

Applications
Okoguard shielded three conductor Okoseal Type MV-105 power cables are recommended for distribution circuits, and for feeders or branch circuits in industrial and utility power distribution systems. Type MV cables may be installed in wet or dry locations, indoors or outdoors (exposed to sunlight), in any raceway or underground duct, directly buried, cable tray, or messenger supported in industrial establishments and electric utilities.
