Insulation
Okozel is Okonite's trade name for ETFE Fluoropolymer, a modified Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene. Okozel is extremely rugged with excellent resistance to cut-through and abrasion. It is chemically inert and has low permeability. Okozel passes the IEEE 383 and UL vertical tray flame test, and is rated "non-burning' under ASTM D635. It is rated for 150°C (302°F conductor operating temperature for continuous use and retains all useful physical properties at temperatures down to -100°C (-148°F). Okozel is a radiation resistant dielectric and meets or exceeds all requirements of IEEE Standards 383 and 323-1974.

Insulation: Flame-retardant, radiation-resistant Okozel, a modified ETFE fluoropolymer.

Conductor Identification: Base colors with tracers in accordance with ICEA S-73-532, NEMA WC57 Method 1.

Assembly: Conductors cabled together in accordance with ICEA S-73-532, NEMA WC57 Section 5.1; with non-hygroscopic fillers as required; and a binder tape overall.

Sheath: Close fitting, impervious, continuous, welded, corrugated aluminum C-L-X in accordance with UL 1569. The sheath exceeds the grounding conductor requirements of Table 250-95 of the NEC. Copper C-L-X sheathed cable meets or exceeds the requirements of IEEE Std. 383, Type Test for Class 1E Electric Cables for Nuclear Power Generating Stations. All C-L-X cables are rated "nonburning" under ASTM D635.

Applications
C-L-X Okozel control cables are recommended for use in either nuclear powered or fossil fueled generating stations where continuity of service in critical circuits is of primary importance. These cables, which are rated 150°C in dry locations (90°C as Class 1E), offer reduced cable diameters through higher ampacities and thinner insulation walls than comparable XLPE or rubber constructions. C-L-X Okozel control cables are also recommended for high ambient temperature areas up to 150°C (302°F) in industrial applications or for cold weather installations to -65°C (-85°F).

Product Features
Factory assembled "cable in conduit". 150°C continuous operating temperature. Cold installation temperature in excess of -65°C. Flame retardant - passes the vertical tray flame test requirements of IEEE 383 and 1202, UL 1569, ICEA T-29-520(210,000 BTU/hr.) and the 210,000 BTU/hr. corner configuration test. Lower smoke emission. Chemically inert insulation-unaffected by typical acids, bases, solvents and cleaning agents, fuels and hydraulic fluids. High dielectric strength. Low dielectric constant. Qualified for nuclear generating stations. Smaller diameter and lighter weight permits more cables per tray. C-L-X enclosure permits installation in cable tray containing other voltages within a barrier separator. C-L-X sheath exceeds equipment grounding conductor requirements of Section 250-95 of the NEC. Provides excellent grounding safety. Excellent compression and impact resistance. No limit to number of bends in run. Lower installed system cost than conduit or EMT systems. UL Listed for cable tray use, and sunlight resistant. May be installed in ducts, plenums and other environmental air-handling spaces per NEC Articles 300-22 (b) and (c).

Ampacities
Ampacities are based on Table 310-18 of the NEC for type Z conductors rated at a continuous operating temperature of 150°C (302°F) adjusted for a multiconductor cable in raceway in free air at an ambient temperature of 40°C (104°F).
