I have an interesting installation problem in a C1D1 area. A piece of industrial process equipment is mounted on a cart, and since it must be moveable it must be connectorized.
I've identified a 19 pin plug/receptacle I plan to use, it's C1D1 rated. My question is regarding what I can use between the plug and the equipment. I need at least 8 conductors with shielding, depending on how many receptacles and cables I use. X-proof flex would be very difficult to work with and hard to get long enough. I want to use the following cable, or something similar:

That cutsheet says the cable is suitable for use in a C1D1 environment, if it is ordered with the optional armor and sheath. Can I use it as a flexible cord in my C1D1 area per 501.140? It isn't any of the types listed for extra-hard usage, and it doesn't contain an equipment gnding conductor per 400.23. It also isn't type MI or MC-HL, which are listed in 501.10. Which of the ratings, approvals, or features of this cable make it legal to install in a C1D1 area?
