CUPIC-F® Cables are designed for use in low risk duct or direct burial applications. CUPIC-F may be used aerially, but must be attached to a support strand.

Features:
• Twisted into pairs with varying lay lengths
• Core wrap
• Filled core
• Fully flooded shield interfaces
• Black, polyethylene jacket

Benefits:
• Minimizes crosstalk
• Provides thermal protection
• Moisture resistant
• Inhibits corrosion and water migration
• Provides a tough, protective covering designed to withstand exposure to direct sunlight, atmospheric temperature changes and stresses expected in standard installations

Specifications:
Conductor
• Solid annealed copper

Insulation
• Solid polyolefin; color coded in accordance with industry standards

Twisted Pairs
• Individual insulated conductors; twisted into pairs with varying lay lengths; specific color combinations provide pair identification

≤ 25-Pair Core
• Pairs are assembled into a cylindrical core

> 25-Pair Core
• Cables larger than 25-pair are assembled into units, which are then used to assemble the core; units are identifiable using color-coded binders

Filling Compound
• 80°C ETPR compound, completely filling the interstices between the pairs and under the core wrap

Core Wrap
• Non-hygroscopic, dielectric tape applied over the core

Shield
• Corrugated, 5 mil copper tape is applied longitudinally with an overlap; shield interfaces are flooded

Jacket
• Black, polyethylene

Jacket Marking
• Identifying information includes a telephone handset, cable code, pair count, AWG, date of manufacture and sequential length markings at 2 foot intervals

Standards Compliance
• ANSI/ICEA S-84-608-2011
• RDUP 7 CFR 1755.390 (PE-39)
• RoHS-compliant

Applications:
• Low risk direct burial
• Underground conduit
• Lashed aerial
