Conductor:
Solid Soft drawn annealed bare copper
Insulation:
Polyolefin with standard telephone industry color coding
Cable Core Assembly:
Insulated conductors are twisted into pairs varying lays (twist lengths) to minimize crosstalk and meet strict capacitance unbalance limits. Cable containing over 25 pairs are cabled and assembled in sub-units, each identified by color coded unit binders
Binding Tape
An overlapping high dielectric, non hygroscopic binding tape is applied over the cable core for improved mechanical and electrical characteristics
Shielding:
A corrosion/oxidation resistant, blue tinted ethylene copolymer coated (on both sides) overlapping 0.008 inch thick corrugated aluminum tape shield is applied longitudinally overall to provide 100% electrical shielding coverage
Jacket:
A black low density high molecular weight virgin polyethylene. It is compounded to withstand sunlight temperature variations and other environmental conditions, including abuse during installation.
Footage Marking:
Footage marking are printed sequentially every two feet along the outer jacket to provide readily accurate records of cable usage and continuous-length reel contents.
