Product Details

The 200A and 800A Series Central Office (CO) Cables are designed for indoor use in central offices or in premises telephone rooms, and are utilized between a distribution frame and digital switching/transmission equipment. This series offers 24 and 26 AWG tinned copper at 100 Ohm characteristic impedance levels. Used primarily in Canada, the color code and lay-up scheme has distinctively colored insulation in combination with single dots and double dots or dashes of colored ink. Each wire within a unit is readily distinguishable from all other wires within the same unit. Cables may contain pairs or a combination of pairs and singles. The pairs and singles are assembled together to form a core. Some cable sizes contain “spare pairs.” The core is covered by a gray PVC jacket. The 200A and 800A series meet or exceed all applicable requirements of Telcordia® GR-137.

Features:
• 24 and 26 AWG tinned copper conductors
• Solid PVC insulation
• 100 Ohm nominal impedance
• Standard pair lays
• CMR listed
• Non-shielded design
• Rip cord

Benefits:
• Small diameter and light weightresult in smaller cable bundlesand easier handling; tinned copperconductors minimize changein wire-wrap joint resistance
• Greater crush resistanceand improved transmission characteristics
• Impedance mismatch withOSP cable is minimized
• Improved crosstalk performanceand pair identification
• Suitable for horizontaland riser installations
• Lower cost
• Added ease of jacket removal
