Conductor: 
• Bare annealed copper per ASTM B3 
• Class B stranding per ASTM B8

Insulation: 
• Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE), rated 90°C per UL Standards 13 and 2250 
• Color-coded per ICEA Method 1: pairs – black and white; triads – black, white and red. Each conductor in each pair or triad is printed alphanumerically for easy identification

Shielded Pairs/Triads: 
• Isolated and individually twisted pairs or triads with a Flexfoil® aluminum/ polyester tape shield providing   100% coverage 
• Stranded tinned copper drain wire, two sizes smaller than insulated conductors

Cable Assembly: 
• Individually shielded pairs or triads and communication wire are cabled together with a left-hand lay 
• Communication wire: 20 AWG solid bare copper, Cross-Linked Polyethylene (XLPE), rated 90°C, orange

Overall Shield: 
• Flexfoil® aluminum/polyester tape shield providing 100% coverage 
• Stranded tinned copper drain wire, same size as insulated conductors

Inner Jacket: 
• Flame-retardant Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) per UL Standards 13 and 2250, black 
• Low temperature performance meets ASTM D746 brittleness temperature at or below -40°C 
• Nylon rip cord to facilitate jacket removal

CCW Armor: 
• Impervious, continuously welded and corrugated aluminum alloy sheath per UL 1569 
• CCW armor conductivity meets the grounding requirements of NEC Article 250

Overall Jacket: 
• Flame-retardant, moisture- and sunlight-resistant Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) per UL Standards 13 and 2250,  black 
• Low temperature performance meets ASTM D746 brittleness temperature at or below -40°C

Applications: 
• CCW armored Instrumentation cables with individually shielded pairs or triads and an overall shield provide superior protection and reliability against    physical damage for use in instrumentation and process control applications requiring ITC-HL or PLTC wiring methods where shielding against both external  EMI and EMI between groups is required 
• For use as Power Limited Tray Cable on circuits rated 150 V or less and 5 amps or less in Class 2 or Class 3 circuits in accordance with NEC Article 725 
• For use as Instrumentation Tray Cable on circuits rated 150 V or less and 5 amps or less in accordance with NEC Article 727 
• Recognized for use in Class I and III, Divisions 1 and 2; Class II, Division 2; or Class I, Zones 1 and 2 hazardous locations per NEC Articles 501, 502, 503    and 505  
• Installed indoors or outdoors, in wet or dry locations, in a raceway, as aerial cable on a messenger, in cable trays, or for direct burial 
• Recognized for use on fixed or floating offshore petroleum facilities as recommended by the American Petroleum Institute

Features: 
• CCW armor provides superior mechanical protection and an impervious barrier to moisture, gas and liquids 
• CCW armor provides EMI shielding    performance 
• Meets cold impact at -40°C
