Superior Essex ALPETH Cables are designed primarily for aerial use. In this application, the cable must be attached to a support strand (messenger). If the cable is to be placed in a duct, the cable must be pressurized.
Features:
• Twisted pairs with varying lays
• Non-hygroscopic core wrap applied over assembled core
• Black, medium-density polyethylene jacket
Benefits:
• Minimizes crosstalk and meets capacitance unbalance limitations
• Furnishes mechanical as well as high dielectric protection between shielding and individual conductors
• Provides a tough, flexible protective covering that withstands exposure to sunlight, atmospheric temperatures, ground chemicals and stresses expected in standard installations
Specifications:
Conductor: Solid annealed copper
Insulation: Color coded solid polyolefin
Twisted Pairs: Insulated conductors twisted to pairs with varying lays
≤ 25-Pair Core: Assembled in concentric layers to form a cylindrical core
≥ 50-Pair Core: Assembled from concentrically formed units with 25-pair per unit; these may be stranded into 50-pair or 100-pair groups, which are then cabled to form the complete cylindrical core assembly
≥ 1,200-Pair Core: Color code is Mirror Image design Core Covering Non-hygroscopic core wrap applied over assembled core
Shield: Electrically continuous 8 mil flat aluminum shielding tape with polyolefin film fused and chemically bonded to both sides; applied longitudinally over the core and bonded to the outer jacket
Jacket: Black, medium-density polyethylene
Jacket Marking: Manufacturer’s identification, date of jacketing, gauge, pair count, sequential length and cable type marked at 1 meter intervals
Standards Compliance: RoHS-compliant
