Specifications
Conductors: Bare soft annealed copper, Class B, 7-strand concentric per ASTM B-8.
 
Insulation: X-Olene (XLP), UL Standard 13 and 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.
 
Communication Wire: 20 AWG solid copper conductor, 15 mils X-Olene, 90°C temperature rating.
 
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, low temperature Okoseal (PVC) per UL Standard 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: Black, flame-retardant low temperature Okoseal per UL Standard 13 and 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 Standard 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 hazardous locations. Also for use as Power-Limited fire 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.
