IM/F, IM/H and IM/G Aerial Service Wire in 2, 3, 6 and 12-pair is self supporting. The conductors are laid parallel to a solid extra-strength steel support wire. Both the conductors and support wire are jacketed in an integral “figure 8” configuration. This product permits fast, economical installation from aerial distribution cable terminals to building entrance protectors or network interface units on the subscriber’s premises. The fully color coded core expedites splicing and terminating procedures.

Features:
• Tightly controlled individual conductor dimensions
• Varied pair twist lays
• Polyvinyl chloride jacket

Benefits:
• Limits resistance unbalance of the twisted pairs
• Minimizes crosstalk and meets capacitance limits
• Provides a tough flexible protective covering that withstands exposure to sunlight, atmospheric temperatures and stresses encountered in standard installations

Specifications:
Conductor: Solid annealed copper

Insulation: Solid polyolefin in distinctive colors; standard color codes are used for pair identification with compounds chosen for electrical balance and permanency

Core Assembly: Tightly controlled individual conductor dimensions; in multi-pair constructions, pair twist lays are varied; twisted pairs are formed into a firm, round core

Support Member: Available in 0.083 inch (F), 0.109 inch (H), or 0.095 inch (G) solid extra-strength steel support wire

Jacket: Black, fire retardant, polyvinyl chloride jacket; steel support wire is jacketed in an integral extrusion with the core

Performance Compliance:
• Telcordia® GR-3163-CORE
• ANSI/ICEA S-89-648-2011
• RoHS-compliant
