About:

The Okonite Stranded Bare Copper Shield XLPE TC Drain Al Tape PVC TC/ITC-ER Marine Cable is a robust and reliable cable designed for marine and offshore applications. It features a stranded bare copper conductor, cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation, and an aluminum tape shield with a tinned copper drain wire. The cable is encased in a durable PVC jacket, making it suitable for power, control, and instrumentation circuits in harsh marine environments. It meets key standards such as UL 1309, IEEE 1580, ABS, and USCG, ensuring safety, performance, and compliance with marine electrical installations.

Also Known As:

• Okonite Marine Cable
• Okonite XLPE Marine Cable
• Okonite TC/ITC-ER 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.
