Specifications
Conductors: #18 AWG tinned copper, Class M, stranded per ASTM B-174.

Insulation: Okolene® (Polypropylene) per UL 13 and 2250, 32 mils nominal thickness, 75°C temperature rating.

Conductor Identification: Pigmented orange and blue in pairs, orange conductor numerically printed for group identification.

Pair Shield: Aluminum/Polyester tape overlapped to provide 100% coverage, and a Class M tinned copper drain wire, two sizes smaller than the conductor. All multi-pair shields are isolated from each other.

Multiple Pair Assembly: Pairs assembled with a left-hand lay. Cable fillers included where required to provide a round cable.

Multiple Pair Cable Shield: Aluminum/Polyester tape overlapped to provide 100% coverage, and a class M strand tinned copper drain wire, same size as conductor.

Inner Jacket: Orange, flame-retardant, Okoseal per UL 13 and 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: Orange, flame-retardant, Okoseal per UL 13 and 2250.

Classifications: UL Listed as PLTC-Power Limited Tray Cable and as ITC-HL - Instrument Tray Cable/Hazardous Locations for use in accordance with Article 727 and Article 725 of the National Electrical Code. Cables comply with ISA-S-50-02, UL 2250 and UL 13 for Fieldbus circuits and CL2 and CL3.

Applications
C-L-X OKOBUS® cables are designed for use in rugged plant and off-shore marine environments utilizing networked discrete or process automation and control. ITC-HL (Instrument Tray Cable - Hazardous Locations) eliminates the need for conduit when installed in accordance with NEC Article 501.10(A)(1)(d) "ITC-HL" installations. Meets Foundation Fieldbus H1 specification for "Type A". Fully complies with ANS/ISA 50.02 Part 2 Fieldbus Cable.
The isolated individual shields over each pair, in SP-OS cables, 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 electrical field radiated by power cables and other electrical equipment.
The C-L-X sheath provides additional electrical shielding and physical protection against mechanical damage as well as complete protection against moisture or gases entering the cable.

Product Features

  • Passes the UL 13 and IEEE 383 vertical tray flame tests.
  • Passes IEEE 1202 vertical tray flame test.
  • Sunlight & oil resistant.
  • UL listed for direct burial.
  • Complete pre-packaged, factory-tested wiring system-color coded.
  • C-L-X enclosure permits installation in cable tray containing lighting and power cables without a barrier separator.
  • Individual pairs are completely isolated.
  • Impervious, continuous sheath excludes moisture, gases and liquids.
  • C-L-X sheath exceeds equipment grounding conductor requirements of NEC Article 250.
  • Lower installed system cost than conduit or EMT systems.
