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

Insulation: 
• Flame-retardant Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) insulation and nylon covering, rated 90°C per UL Standard 83 
• 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 are cabled together with a left-hand lay

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 Standard 1569, 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 Standards 1569 and 2225 
• CCW armor conductivity meets the grounding requirements of NEC Article 250

Overall Jacket: 
• Flame-retardant, moisture- and sunlight-resistant Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) per UL Standard 1569, black 
• Low temperature performance meets ASTM D746 brittleness temperature at or below -40°C

Applications: 
• CCW armored 600 volt 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 where shielding against both external EMI and EMI between groups is required 
• For use in Class 1 remote-control and signal circuits in accordance with NEC Article 725 
• Recognized for use in Class I, II and III, Divisions 1 and 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
