Product Details

Canadian Bonded STALPETH Cable is a foam-skin insulated, single jacketed, armored air core design intended for use in ducts to provide more efficient duct utilization than standard PIC designs.

Features:
• Tightly controlled individualconductor dimensions
• Specially designedpair twist lays
• Core wrap
• Aluminum tape shield
• Steel tape armor bondedto outer jacket
• Polyethylene jacket

Benefits:
• Limits resistance unbalanceof paired conductors
• Minimizes crosstalk and meets the capacitance unbalance requirements
• Protects the core andhelps provide core-to-shielddielectric strength
• Assures good electricalcontact with non-piercingbonding clamps
• Protects the core frommechanical damage and reducesthe possibility of tape bucklingduring installation, ingress ofwater to the aluminum shield and of water along the cable betweenthe armor and outer jacket
• Provides a tough, flexible,protective covering thatwithstands exposure to sunlight,atmospheric temperatures,ground chemicals and stressesexpected in standard installations

Specifications:
Conductor:
Solid annealed copper

Insulation:
Conductors are dual insulated with an inner layer offoamed, natural polyolefin covered by an outer layerof solid, colored polyolefin; conductor insulation is color coded in accordance with industry standard

≥ 50-Pair Core:
Multiples of 25-pair groups are assembled to form thefinal cable core; each group is identified by color codednon-hygroscopic binders; for 1,200-pair and larger,the color code is Mirror Image design

Core Wrap:
Non-hygroscopic dielectric material

Shield:
Corrugated bare 8 mil aluminum tape appliedlongitudinally over the core wrap

Armor:
Corrugated, copolymer coated, 6 mil steel tape appliedover the aluminum shield and bonded to the outer jacket

Jacket:
Black polyethylene

Jacket Marking:
Manufacturer’s identification, pair count, AWG, productidentification and a telephone handset printed at 2 footintervals; sequential footage markings are printed atalternate 2 foot intervals

Standards Compliance:
• Telcordia® GR-421-CORE Issue 2
• RoHS-compliant

Applications:
• Congested underground duct systems
