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 mils nominal thickness; 90°C temperature ratings per UL Subject 1277.

Conductor Identification: Pigmented black and white in pairs, black, white and red in triads.

Assembly: Pairs or triads assembled with left-hand lay. 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 Okoseal per UL Standard 1569. 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 meeting UL 1569 provides complete protection against moisture, liquids, and gases, has excellent mechanical strength, and provides equipment grounding through the sheath.

Outer Jacket: Black, flame-retardant Okoseal per UL Standard 1569.

Classifications: UL Listed as Type MC-HL Articles 501, 502, and 503 of the National Electrical Code. These cables comply with UL requirements for CL1, CL2 and CL3.

Applications
Okonite C-L-X multiple 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 shielding 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 Classes I, II, and III, Divisions 1 and 2 and Class I, Zone 2 hazardous locations per NEC Articles 501, 502, 503 and 505. Listed by American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) as CWCMC-MC-HL and by UL as Marine Shipboard. Also for use as non power limited fire protective signaling cable (NPLF) per NEC Code 760.
The overall shield eliminates most of the static interference from the electric field radiated by power cables and other electrical equipment.
The C-L-X sheath provides the physical protection against mechanical damage as required in NEC Section 725-18 as well as complete protection against moisture or gases entering the cable.
For dc service in wet locations, X-Olene insulation having an overall aluminum C-L-X armor construction is recommended.

To order C-L-X Type P-OS without the outer Okoseal jacket (not “HL” listed), change the sixth digit of the catalog number from 3 to 1, for example to order 1 pr. 20 AWG with a bare aluminum C-L-X, the catalog number would be 564-10-1212. 

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