About:

The Okonite Stranded Bare Copper Shield XLPE TC Drain Al Tape PVC SP-OS Marine Cable is designed for demanding marine environments. It features stranded bare copper conductors, an XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) insulation, a tinned copper drain wire, an aluminum tape shield, and a PVC (polyvinyl chloride) outer jacket. This cable is built to provide excellent electrical performance, durability, and resistance to harsh marine conditions, including saltwater, oil, and chemicals.

Also Known As:

• Marine Shielded Control Cable
• Marine Instrumentation Cable
• XLPE Insulated Marine Cable
• Shielded Marine Cable

Application:

X-Olene Okoseal 600 volt shielded instrumentation cables are designed for use in rugged plant environments, such as Offshore Rig Projects, on Class 1 Remote-Control Signaling circuits or where a 600V instrumentation or control cable is desired.They are designed for use indoors or outdoors; wet or dry locations; in cable trays; in raceways; supported by a messenger wire; and for direct burial. Can be installed as Type TC/ITC in Class I, Division 2; Class II, Division 2; Class III, Division 1; and Zone 2 hazardous locations in accordance with NEC Articles 501.10, 502.10, 503.10, and 505.15. TC-ER (Tray Cable - Exposed Run) eliminates the need for conduit when installed in accordance with NEC Article 336.10(7). These cables are also UL labeled Okomarine and are listed for marine applications.
