Superior Essex Cable Canadian ALPETH BHBB, BHAB, BKMB and BKTB Solid Annealed Copper Cable

Product Details

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
