Insulation: Dual insulation consisting of an inner layer of foamed polyolefin surrounded by a solid polyolefin skin, color-coded in accordance with telephone industry standards

Twisted Pairs: Insulated conductors are twisted into pairs with varying lay lengths to minimize crosstalk

Core Assembly:
• 25 pairs and less: pairs are assembled together in a single group
• More than 25 pairs: pairs are arranged in groups, each group having a color-coded unit binder
• 1200 pairs and larger are mirror image color code

Filling Compound: The entire core assembly is completely filled with ETPR compound, filling the interstices between the pairs and under the core tape

Core Wrap: Non-hygroscopic dielectric tape applied longitudinally with an overlap

ASP Sheath:
Aluminum Shield: Corrugated, 0.008" aluminum tape applied longitudinally over the core wrap
Steel Shield:
• Corrugated, 0.006" steel tape applied longitudinally over the aluminum tape with an overlap
• The sheath interfaces are flooded with an adhesive water-blocking compound
Jacket: Black, linear low density polyethylene

Application(s): Intended for duct and direct buried installations where protection against water and moisture entry is required and may also be installed aerially
