Product Details

Conductors: Solid, annealed copper; size 22 and 24 AWG

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:
• Twisted pairs are assembled into 12, 13 and 25 pair units, or into 50 pair multi-units
• Service pair units of 4 to 18 pairs are assembled for inclusion into the cable

“S” Screen: Each half of the cable core is separated from the other by use of a 0.004" plastic-coated aluminum screen which divides the core into two electrically isolated compartments

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 direct buried installation
• Designed for digital two-way T-Carrier signal operation under one cable sheath

Compliances:
• Telcordia (Bellcore) Specification GR-421-CORE
• RoHS Compliant (effective 1/1/10)

Packaging:
• Standard lengths are shipped on returnable steel reels or on non-returnable wood reels when requested
• Non-standard packaging is also available
