Foam / Skin Insulated Filled Telephone Cables- REA SPEC PE-89

Conductor:

• Solid annealed bare copper

Insulation:

• Inner layer of foamed natural polyolefin covered by outer layer of solid colored polyolefin color coded in accordance with standard telephone industry code

Cable Core Assembly:

• Individual conductors twisted into pairs with varying lays to minimize Crosstalk and with specified color combinations to provide pair identification
• Cables having 25 pairs and less are assembled in a single group. Cables having more than 25 pairs are assembled in units, each identified by color coded unit binders. The interstices the pairs are filed with an 80° C filing compound
  Core Covering:
• Non- hygroscopic dielectric tape

Shielding:

• Electrically continuers 0.008 inch thick polymer coated, corrugated aluminum tape applied longitudinally with overlapped edges and flooded with a flooding compound

Jacket:

• Black polyethylene

Footage Marking:

• Sequentially numbered length markings are located at 2 ft. intervals

Applications:

• Cable is designed for use in duct, aerial or direct burial in either exchange area service or truck service. The core is filled with an 80° C filling compound and the sheath interfaces are flooded with a flooding compound. The polymer coating provides additional corrosion protection for the aluminum shield.
