Specifications
Conductors: Bare soft annealed copper, Class B, 7-strand concentric
per ASTM B-8.
Insulation: Flame-retardant Okoseal®
(PVC), 15 mils nominal thickness, nylon jacket, 4 mil nominal thickness,
90°C temperature rating, per UL
Standard 1277.
Conductor Identification: Pigmented black and white in pairs,
black, white and red in triads; red conductor numerically printed for
group identification.
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.
Jacket: Black, flame-retardant, low temperature Okoseal per UL
Standard 1277, 90°C temperature
rating. A rip cord is laid longitudinally under the jacket to facilitate
removal.
Classification: UL Listed as Type TC Article 340 of the National
Electrical Code.
Applications
Okonite Single pair or triad type P-OS instrumentation cables
are designed for use on Class 1 Remote-Control Signaling circuits or where
a 600V cable is desired, as instrumentation, process control, or computer
cable transmitting signals at levels above 100 milli-volts in circuits
where shedding against external interference is required, but shielding
against interference among groups is not required. For use indoors or
outdoors; wet or dry locations; in cable trays; in raceways; supported by
a messenger wire; for direct burial; in Class I, Division 2, Class
II, Division 2 or Class III, Division 2 hazardous locations. Also for use
as non power limited fire protective signaling cable (NPLF) per NEC Code
760. Type TC cables can be labeled Okomarine to be used in ABS and Coast
Guard approved marine applications.
