Specifications
Conductors: Bare soft annealed copper, Class B, 7-strand concentric per ASTM B-8.

Insulation: X-Olene (XLP) per UL 13 and UL Standard 2250, 15 mils nominal thickness, 90°C temperature rating.

Conductor Identification: Pigmented black and white in pairs, black, red and white in triads; white conductor numerically printed for group identification.

Group Shield: Aluminum/Polyester tape overlapped to provide 100% coverage, and a 7-strand tinned copper drain wire, two sizes smaller than the conductor. All group shields are completely isolated from each other.

Communications Wire: 20 AWG, solid bare copper conductor, 15 mils nominal X-Olene insulation, 90°C temperature rating.

Assembly: Pairs or triads assembled with left-hand lay. 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 the conductor.

Inner Jacket: Black, flame-retardant, low temperature Okoseal (PVC) per UL 13 and UL Standard 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 13 and UL Standard 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 Standard 2250 and UL 13 for PLTC, CL2 and CL3.

Applications
Okonite Type C-L-X SP-OS (Pair/Triad - Individual and 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 maximum shielding against external interference is required, as well as shielding among groups, particularly where the cable may be subject to abnormally high current or voltage interference; indoors or outdoors; in wet or dry locations; 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 and Class I, Zone 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 maybe installed in both exposed and concealed work, secured to supports not greater than 6 feet apart.
