Insulation
X-Olene® is Okonite's trade name for its chemically cross-linked polyethylene, with high dielectric strength.
Color Coding
Conductors are color coded using base colors and tracers in accordance with the Conductor Identification Table on the back of this Data Sheet.
Assembly and Coverings
The individual conductors are cabled together with non-hygroscopic fillers and a binder tape overall. The C-L-X sheath exceeds the grounding conductor requirements of Table 250.122 of the NEC and UL 1569. A bare stranded copper grounding conductor(s), located in the outer interstices, is provided for grounding. The impervious, continuous, welded, corrugated aluminum C-L-X sheath provides complete protection against moisture, liquids and gases and has excellent mechanical strength. For direct burial in the ground, embedment in concrete, or for areas subjected to corrosive atmospheres, the C-L-X sheath is protected with a low temperature black Okoseal® (PVC) jacket.
Applications
Loxarmor power and control cables are recommended as an economical alternate to a wire in conduit system. They are designed specifically for use on feeders and branch circuits in power distribution systems. Loxarmor power cables may be installed in both exposed and concealed work, wet and dry locations, direct burial in the earth, or embedded in concrete. They may be installed on metal racks, troughs, in cable trays or secured to supports not greater that 6 feet apart. When used with approved terminators, Loxarmor may be used in Class I and II (Division 2) and Class III (Division 1 and 2) hazardous locations - NEC Articles 501, 502 and 503.
