548-76-1492 16 AWG 12C 7Strand Bare Copper Unshielded Okozel Binder Tape Aluminum Sheath C-L-X MC (Z) Control Cable

Allowable Ampacity for 548-76-1492 16 AWG 12C 7Strand Bare Copper Unshielded Okozel Binder Tape Aluminum Sheath C-L-X MC (Z) Control Cable:100 Amps

About:

The control cable designed with strand bare copper conductors. It is unshielded and includes Okozel binder tape along with an aluminum sheath, providing mechanical protection and resistance to environmental factors. This cable is ideal for industrial control and automation applications.

Also Known As:

• Control Cable
• Bare Copper Unshielded Control Cable
• MC (Z) Control Cable with Aluminum Sheath

Application:

• C-L-X Okozel control cables are recommended for use in or fossil fueled generating stations where continuity of service in critical circuits is of primary importance. These cables, which are rated 150°C in dry and 75C in wet locations, offer reduced cable diameters through higher ampacities and thinner insulation walls than comparable XLPE or rubber constructions. C-L-X Okozel control cables are also recommended for high ambient temperature areas up to 150°C (302°F) in industrial applications or for cold weather installations to -65°C (-85°F).

Standards:

• National Electrical Code (NEC) Article 330
• UL 1569 for Metal-Clad Cables
• IEEE standards for control and instrumentation cables
• ANSI/ICEA S-73-532 for control cables

Construction:

• Conductor: Bare copper per ASTM B-3, Class B stranded per ASTM B-8.
• Insulation: Flame-retardant, moisture-resistant Okozel, a modified ETFE fluoropolymer
• Conductor Identification: Base colors and tracers as shown on reverse of Data Sheet.
• Assembly: Conductors cabled together in accordance with ICEA S-73-532, NEMA WC57 Section 5.1; with non-hygroscopic fillers as required; and a binder tape overall.
• Sheath: Close fitting, impervious, continuous, welded, corrugated aluminum C-L X in accordance with UL 1569. The sheath exceeds the grounding conductor requirements of Table 250.122 of the NEC. All C-L-X cables are rated "nonburning" under ASTM D635.

Features:

• Factory assembled “cable in conduit”.
• 150°C continuous operating temperature.
• Cold installation temperature in excess of -65°C.
• Flame retardant - passes the vertical tray flame test requirements of IEEE 383 and 1202, UL 1569 and ICEA T-29- 520(210,000 BTU/hr).
• Lower smoke emission.
• Chemically inert insulation-unaffected by typical acids, bases, solvents and cleaning agents, fuels and hydraulic fluids.
• High dielectric strength.
• Low dielectric constant.
• Smaller diameter and lighter weight permits more cables per tray.
• C-L-X enclosure permits installation in cable tray containing other voltages within a barrier separator.
• In addition, the aluminum CLX sheath exceeds the equipment grounding requirements of NEC Section 250.118 and 250.122, and can be used as the equipment grounding conductor.
• Provides excellent grounding safety.
• Excellent compression and impact resistance.
• No limit to number of bends in run.
• Lower installed system cost than conduit or EMT systems.
• UL Listed for cable tray use, and sunlight resistant.
• May be installed in ducts, plenums and other environmental air-handling spaces per NEC Articles 300.22(B) and (C).
• Special designs available that are qualified for nuclear generating stations at 90C in accordance with IEEE Standards 383-74 and 323-74.
