Cable Construction
| Conductors |
Solid Annealed copper, 1.4 mm nominal diameter (0.6 mm for the auxiliary pair). |
| Insulation |
Polyethylene. |
| Cabling Element |
Two insulated conductors are twisted together to form a pair. |
| Stranding |
Pairs are helically stranded to get the cable core. |
| Core Wrapping |
Plastic tape(s) with overlapping. |
| Inner Sheath |
Low density polyethylene. |
| Moisture Barrier |
Copolymer coated laminated aluminium tape. |
| Intermediate Sheath |
LSZH fi re retardant compound. PE or PVC option can be offered upon request. |
| Mechanical Protection |
Two helically applied steel tapes. |
| Outer Sheath |
LSZH fi re retardant compound. PE or PVC option can be offered upon request. |
