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 isolated
individual shields over each pair, when properly grounded, prevent
crosstalk or capacitive coupling between adjacent pairs which occurs
with ac signals, particularly the pulse type. 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.
