Insulation
X-Olene^Ž is Okonite's trade name for its chemically cross-linked polyethylene, with high dielectric strength.

Color Coding
Conductors are color coded using base colors and tracers in accordance with the Conductor Identification Table on the back of this Data Sheet.

Assembly and Coverings
The individual conductors are cabled together with non-hygroscopic fillers as necessary and a binder tape overall. One bare stranded copper grounding conductor is placed in one of the outer interstices. The Loxarmor^Ž is an interlocked aluminum armor with good mechanical strength. For direct burial in the ground, embedment in concrete, or for areas subjected to corrosive atmospheres, the Loxarmor is protected with an Okoseal^Ž (PVC) jacket.

Applications
Loxarmor power and control cables are recommended as an economical alternate to a wire in conduit system. They are designed specifically for use on feeders and branch circuits in power distribution systems. Loxarmor power cables may be installed in both exposed and concealed work, wet and dry locations, direct burial in the earth, or embedded in concrete. They may be installed on metal racks, troughs, in cable trays or secured to supports not greater that 6 feet apart. When used with approved terminators, Loxarmor may be used in Class I and II (Division 2) and Class III (Division 1 and 2) hazardous locations - NEC Articles 501, 502 and 503.

Mimimum Manufacturing Quantity for non-stock items; sizes #8 to #1-5000'; #1/0 to #4/0-3000'; 250-1000 kcmil-1500'.

Length Tolerance: Cut lengths of 1000 feet or longer are subject to a tolerance of ą 10%; less than 1000 feet ą 15%.

Ľ Cross-sectional area for calculation of cable try fill in accordance with NEC Section 318-9.

When conductors smaller than #8 AWG are required, C-L-X Type MC is recommended.

Composite power and control cables are available on special order.

(1) Ampacities Ampacities are based on 310-16 of the National Electrical Code for XHHW-2 conductors rated 90°C, in a multi-conductor cable, at an ambient temperature of 30°C (86°F). Derating for more than three current carrying conductors within the cable is in accordance with Note 8 and 10 to NEC Tables 310-16 through 310-19. When installed in Class 1 remote-control or signaling circuits in accordance with NEC Section 725-19, where the conductors do not carry continuous load, no derating is required.

The ampacities shown apply to cables installed in cable tray in accordance with NEC Section 318-11, installation in any approved raceway, or direct buried in the earth.
