Assembly
Type MV-105 conductors are assembled with fillers, one bare stranded grounding conductor
and a binder tape into a round core. A continuously corrugated welded aluminum sheath
(C-L-X) encases the cable core. The C-L-X sheath is protected with a low temperature
yellow Okoseal® jacket. The impervious, continuous, corrugated aluminum C-L-X
sheath provides complete protection against moisture, liquids and gases in addition to its
excellent mechanical strength. In addition, the aluminum sheath has adequate ampacity
capability to be used as a grounding conductor in non HL areas. The Okoseal jacket allows
the cable to be direct buried in the ground, embedded in concrete or areas subjected to
corrosive atmospheres. Applications
C-L-X power cables are recommended as an economical alternate to a wire in conduit system.
They are designed specifically for use as feeders or branch circuits in industrial and
utility power distribution systems. C-L-X power cables may be installed in both exposed
and concealed work, wet and dry locations, directly buried in the earth, or embedded in
concrete. They may be installed on metal racks, troughs, in cable trays or secured to
supports not greater than 6 feet apart.
C-L-X Type MC-HL cables are also approved for Classes I, II, and III, Division 1 and 2
and Class I, Zone 1 and 2
hazardous locations - NEC Articles 501, 502, 503 and 505.
