Insulation
X-Olene FMR is Okonite’s trade name for its heat, moisture, and flame resistant, crosslinked polyethylene insulating compound.
Overall Jacket
Okolon-TP-CPE is a thermoplastic chlorinated polyethylene compound. This jacket has excellent resistance to moisture, ozone, oil and many chemicals.
Applications
X-Olene FMR low voltage power and control cables are recommended for use in power generating plants, combined cycle power units, co-generation plants and in substations; designed especially for critical circuits where continuity of service is of prime importance. These cables are TC-ER listed and meet UL requirements. As TC-ER cable, they are 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; 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).
