About:

The X-Olene Strand Bare Copper Unshielded Binder Tape FMR Okolon TP-CPE UL TC/TC-ER CIC Tray Cable is engineered for demanding industrial applications. It features high-performance materials and construction, making it suitable for various control, power, and instrumentation applications.

Also Known As:

• X-Olene Tray Cable
• Type TC/TC-ER Tray Cable
• X-Olene Control and Instrumentation Cable

Application:

• X-Olene FMR Okolon TP-CPE tray cable is permitted for use on power, lighting, control, and signal circuits; indoors or outdoors; in cable trays, raceways, direct burial in the ground, or where supported in outdoor locations by a messenger wire; for Class 1 circuits as permitted by Article 725 of the NEC; and in cable trays in Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations in industrial establishments where the conditions of maintenance and supervision assure that only qualified persons will service the installation.
• Cables marked TC-ER may also be used between a cable tray and the utilization equipment or device, when installed in accordance with NEC 336.10(7).
• Sizes  4/0 AWG are listed as c(UL) Type CIC and TC and are approved for installation in Zone 1, Zone 2, Class I Div. 2, Class II Div. 2, and Class III Div. 2 locations per the CEC.

Standards:

• UL 1277 (Electrical Power and Control Tray Cables)
• UL 1581 (Electrical Wires, Cables, and Flexible Cords)
• IEEE 1202/FT4 (Vertical Tray Flame Test)
• ICEA S-58-679 (Control Cable Conductor Sizes 14 through 2 AWG)
• NEC (National Electrical Code) Article 336
• RoHS Compliant (Restriction of Hazardous Substances)

Construction:

• Conductor: Uncoated soft copper per ASTM B-3. Sizes smaller than #8 are compress stranded per ASTM B-8. Sizes #8 and larger are compact stranded per ASTM B-496.
• Insulation: X-Olene FMR meets or exceeds requirements of UL 1581 and ICEA S-73-532 (NEMA WC57) & ICEA S-95-658 (NEMA WC70) Type II insulation.
• Color Coding: Base colors and tracers as shown on reverse of Data Sheet. For sizes #8 AWG and larger black conductors with surface printing of numbers and color designations per ICEA S-73-532 NEMA/WC57 Method 3, E-2.
• Grounding Conductor: Where indicated, bare stranded copper per ASTM B-8 for sizes #7 AWG and smaller, compact round for sizes #8 AWG and larger per ASTM B-496 and in accordance with NEC Table 250.122
• Assembly: Conductors cabled in accordance with UL 1277 using fillers, as necessary, with a cable tape overall.
• Overall Jacket: Complies with UL 1277. The Okolon-TP-CPE compound meets or exceeds the requirements of UL 1581, ICEA S-73-532 (NEMA WC57) & ICEA S-95-658 (NEMA WC70). UL Listed as Type TC or TC-ER cable with a sunlight resistant jacket and for direct burial. Sizes 4 AWG and larger, without a grounding conductor, are Type TC only (not ER).
