Applicable Industry Standards:
— UL 1569, 1309, & 2250 — ICEA S-73-532 (NEMA WC 57) — ASTM B-33 & B-355

Flame Tests: IEC 60331, ICEA T-29-520, IEEE 1202

Applications
Okotherm CIC 600 volt instrumentation cables are used in systems where, in the event of a fire, circuit integrity is required in order to maintain a process or to safely shut down the process. Fire resistance is determined by compliance to the IEC 60331 circuit integrity fire test. Okotherm CIC nickel coated copper cables maintain circuit integrity based on qualification to the IEC standard 60331 for all temperatures and times up to and including 1000°C for three hours. When exposed to a fire, the Okotherm CIC insulation becomes an electrically insulating ceramic-like ash that is capable of maintaining the operating voltage.
Okotherm CIC CLX Type MC cables with the impervious, continuous aluminum corrugated sheath are recommended as an alternative to a wire conduit system. These cables may be installed indoors or outdoors, in wet or dry locations, as open runs of cable secured to supports not more than six feet apart, in cable tray, as an aerial cable on a messenger, in any approved raceway, direct burial, or encased in concrete. They are also approved for use in Class I & II, Division 2, Class III, Division 1 and 2 and Class I, Zones 1 & 2 hazardous locations per NEC Articles 501, 502, 503, and 505. They are listed by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) as CWCMC-CLXM and by UL as marine shipboard cable.
The overall shield eliminates most of the static interference from the electric field radiated by power cables and other electrical equipment.
Okotherm CIC 600 volt instrumentation cables should be considered on circuits designed for fire detection and suppression, alarms, communication, circuits requiring redundancy and personnel egress.
