Product Details

Conductors: Solid, annealed copper; sizes 19, 22 and 24 AWG

Insulation: Solid, high density polyethylene, 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:
• 25 pairs and less: pairs are assembled together in a single group
• More than 25 pairs: pairs are arranged in groups, each group having a color-coded unit binder

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

Sheath:
Copper-Bearing Shield:
• Corrugated, copper-bearing gopherresistant tape applied longitudinally with an overlap
• The sheath interfaces are flooded with an adhesive water-blocking compound
Jacket: Black, linear low density polyethylene

Application(s):
• Intended for duct and direct buried installations where protection against water and moisture entry is required and may also be installed aerially
• The copper-bearing tape provides increased mechanical protection and gopher resistance

Compliances:
• Rural Development Utility Program (RDUP) 7 CFR 1755.390 (RUS PE-39)
• RoHS Compliant (effective 1/1/10)
• ANSI/ICEA S-84-608-2007
