About:

The C-L-X Stranded Bare Copper Shield X-Olene Aluminum Sheath PVC P-OS Instrumentation Cable is a high-performance cable designed for use in demanding environments. It features a combination of stranded bare copper conductors, X-Olene insulation, and an aluminum sheath, providing excellent electrical and mechanical properties. The PVC outer sheath offers additional protection against physical and environmental damage.

Also Known As:

• Armored Instrumentation Cable
• PVC Sheathed Instrumentation Cable
• Aluminum Sheath Instrumentation Cable
• Bare Copper Shielded Instrumentation Cable

Application:

Okonite Type C-L-X P-OS (Pair/Triad - Overall Shield) instrumentation cables are designed for use as instrumentation, process control, and computer cables in ITC non-classified or labeled circuits up to 150 volts and 5 amps (750VA) and in Class 2 or 3 Power-Limited circuits where shielding against external interference is required, but shielding against interference among groups is not required; indoors or outdoors; in wet or dry locations with conductor operating temperatures up to 90°C; in cable trays; in raceways; supported by a messenger wire; under raised floors; for direct burial. Suitable Class I, Division 2, Class II, Division 2, or Class III, Division 1 and Class I, Zone 2 hazardous locations. Also for use as
Power-Limited protective signaling cable (FPL) per NEC Article 760.
The C-L-X sheath provides physical protection against mechanical damage. It may be installed in both exposed and concealed work, secured to supports not greater than 6 feet apart.
The overall shield eliminates most of the static interference from the electric field radiated by power cables and other electrical equipment

Standards:

• UL 2250: Instrumentation cables, Type ITC and ITC-ER
• CSA C22.2 No. 239: Control and instrumentation cables
• IEEE 1202: Flame propagation testing of wires and cables
• IEC 60332-3: Tests on electric cables under fire conditions
• NEC Articles 725 and 727: National Electrical Code standards for instrumentation and control cables
• NEMA WC 57/ICEA S-73-532: Standard for control, thermocouple extension, and instrumentation cables
• RoHS Compliant: Restriction of Hazardous Substances directive compliance

Construction:

• Conductors: Bare soft annealed copper, Class B, 7-strand concentric per ASTM B-8.
• Insulation: X-Olene (XLP), UL 13 and UL 2250, 15 mils nominal thickness, 90°C temperature rating.
• Conductor Identification: Pigmented black and white in pairs, black, red and white in triads.
• Assembly:Pair or triad assembled with left-hand lay.
• Cable Shield: Aluminum/Polyester tape overlapped to provide 100% coverage, and a #18 AWG 7-strand tinned copper drain wire.
• Inner Jacket: Black, flame-retardant Okoseal (PVC) per UL 13 and UL 2250. A rip cord is laid longitudinally under the jacket to facilitate removal.
• C-L-X Sheath: A close-fitting, impervious, continuously welded and corrugated aluminum sheath provides complete protection against moisture, liquids, and gases, has excellent mechanical strength and provides equipment grounding through the sheath.
• Outer Jacket: Black, flame-retardant low temperature PVC Okoseal per UL Subject 13 and UL 2250.

Features:

• Passes the UL 1581, IEEE 383-1974, & IEEE 1202-1991 vertical tray flame tests.
• Passes the 210,000 BTU/hr. vertical tray flame test per ICEA T-29-520
• Recommended for dc applications in wet environments.
• UL listed as sunlight resistant.
• UL listed for direct burial.
• Complete pre-packaged, factory-tested wiring system color coded.
• C-L-X enclosure permits installation in cable tray containing light and power cables without a barrier separator.
• Individual pairs or triads are numbered and color coded for simplified hook-up.
• Excellent noise rejection.
• Impervious, continuous sheath excludes moisture, gases and liquids.
• In addition, the aluminum CLX sheath exceeds the equipment grounding requirements of NEC Articles 250.118 and 250.122, and can be used as the equipment grounding conductor.
• Excellent compression and impact resistance.
• Lower installed system cost than conduit or EMT systems.
• Suitable for low temperature installation to -40°C.
