About:

The C-L-X Okopact cable is designed for use in a variety of industrial and utility applications. It features a bare copper conductor and is shielded with tape. The corrugated aluminum sheath provides additional mechanical protection while maintaining flexibility. The Okoguard insulation, typically a high-quality PVC, offers excellent electrical properties and resistance to environmental factors.

Also Known As:

• CLX cable
• Corrugated Aluminum Armored Cable
• Okoguard Insulated Cable

Application:

• C-L-X Type IEC 60502-2 cables are intended for use in fixed installations such as distribution networks or industrial applications.
• C-L-X power cables are recommended as an economical alternate to a wire in conduit system

Standards:

• UL Standards for electrical safety
• NEC (National Electrical Code) requirements for installation and performance
• IEEE standards for insulation integrity and conductor performance
• Possibly ANSI standards, depending on the specific application requirements

Construction:

• Conductor: Annealed uncoated copper compact stranded per IEC 60228.
• Strand Screen: Extruded semiconducting EPR strand screen. Meets or exceeds the electrical and physical properties of IEC 60502-2.
• Insulation: Meets or exceeds the electrical and physical properties of IEC 60502-2.
• Insulation Screen: Extruded semiconducting EPR insulation screen applied directly over the insulation. Meets or exceeds the electrical and physical properties of IEC 60502-2.
• Shield: 0.005 inches (0.127mm) bare copper tape helically applied with 10%
minimum overlap.
• phase Identification: Color coded (black, red, blue) polyester ribbon laid longitudinally under the copper tape shield.
• Assembly: Cabled with fillers and an overall binder tape.
• Sheath: Close fitting, impervious, continuous, corrugated aluminum C-L-X per UL
1072. C-L-X is recognized as a grounding conductor by the U.S. National Electrical
Code (NEC).
• Jacket: Meets or exceeds the electrical and physical properties of IEC 60502-2
for polyvinyl chloride jackets.
