Allowable Ampacity for 268-20-5504 16 AWG 4T Nickel Coated Copper Shield Al Mylar TPPO Okotherm CIC P-OS 600V Instrumentation Cable:100 Amps

About:

The 268-20-5504 16 AWG 4T Nickel Coated Copper Shield Al Mylar TPPO Okotherm CIC P-OS 600V Instrumentation Cable featuring a nickel-coated copper shield, aluminum Mylar tape, and TPPO insulation. It's designed for industrial control systems, power generation, and chemical plants, providing reliable signal transmission and protection against electrical interference. This cable meets key UL, IEEE, CSA, ICEA, and ASTM standards.

Also Known As:

• 16 AWG Nickel Coated Copper Shielded Instrumentation Cable
• 600V Okotherm Instrumentation Cable

Application:

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 cables maintain circuit integrity based on qualification to IEC standard 60331, for all temperatures and times up to and including 2000°F 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. 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
