Specifications
Conductors: Bare soft annealed copper, Class B, 7-strand concentric per ASTM B-8.

Insulation: Flame-retardant Okoseal (PVC) per UL 13 and 2250, 15 mils nominal thickness, 105°C temperature rating.

Conductor Identification: Pigmented black and white in pairs, black, red and white in triads; white conductor numerically printed for group identification.

Communication Wire: 22 AWG, solid bare copper conductor, 12 mils nominal flame-retardant Okoseal insulation, 105°C temperature rating.

Assembly: Pairs or triads assembled with left-hand lay. Flame-retardant, non-wicking fillers included where required to provide a round cable.

Cable Shield: Aluminum/Polyester tape overlapped to provide 100% coverage, and a 7-strand tinned copper drain wire, same size as conductor.

Inner Jacket: Black, flame-retardant, low temperature Okoseal per UL 13 and 2250. A rip cord is laid longitudinally under the jacket to facilitate removal.

C-L-X Sheath: A close fitting, impervious, continuously welded and corrugated aluminum sheath provides complete protection against moisture, liquids, and gases, has excellent mechanical strength and provides equipment grounding through the sheath.

Outer Jacket: Black, flame-retardant, low temperature Okoseal per UL 13 and 2250.

Classifications: UL Listed as ITC/PLTC - Instrument Tray Cable/Power Limited Tray Cable for use in accordance with Article 727 and Article 725 of the National Electrical Code.

Cables comply with UL 2250 and UL 13 for PLTC, CL2 and CL3.

Applications
Okonite Type C-L-X P-OS (Pairs/triads - Overall Shield) instrumentation cables are designed for use in instrumentation, process control in ITC non-classified or labeled circuits up to 150 volts and 5 amps (750VA) and in Class 2 or 3 Power-Limited circuits where shielding
against external interference is required, but shielding against interference among groups is not required; indoors or outdoors; in wet or dry locations with conductor operating temperatures up to 150°C; in cable trays; in raceways; supported by a messenger wire; under raised floors; for direct burial. Suitable Class I, Division 2, Class II, Division 2, or Class III, Division 2 and Class I, Zone 2 hazardous locations. Also for use as power-Limited fire protective signaling cable (FPL) per NEC Code 760. The C-L-X sheath provides physical protection against mechanical damage. It may be installed in both exposed and concealed work, secured to supports not greater than 6 feet apart.

The overall shield eliminates most of the static interference from the electric field radiated by power cables and other electrical equipment.

For dc service in wet locations, X-Olene^® insulation s recommended.
