Specifications
Conductors: Bare soft annealed copper, Class B, 7-strand
concentric per ASTM B-8.
Insulation: X-Olene (XLP), UL 13 and UL Standard 2250, 15 mils
nominal thickness, 90°C temperature
rating.
Conductor Identification: Pigmented black and white in pairs,
black, red and white in triads.
Assembly: Pair or triad assembled with left-hand lay.
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 Okoseal (PVC) per UL 13 and UL
Standard 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 PVC Okoseal
per UL Subject 13 and UL Standard 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.
These cables comply with UL 2250 and UL 13 for PLTC, CL2 and CL3.
Applications
Okonite Type C-L-X P-OS (Pair/Triad - Overall Shield)
instrumentation cables are designed for use as instrumentation, process
control, and computer cables 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 90°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 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.
