AERIAL OR DIRECT BURIAL CABLE
INSULATION: FOAM/SKIN POLYOLEFIN
OUTER JACKET: POLYETHYLENE
SIZES: 19, 22, 24, 26 AWG
REA PE-89
1.0 APPLICATION:
1.1 P7073 is designed for use as a duct, aerial or direct burial cable in either exchange area service or trunk service. The core is filled with an 80°C filling compound and the sheath interfaces are flooded with a flooding compound. The polymer coating provides additional corrosion protection for the aluminum shield.
2.0 CONSTRUCTION:
2.1 Conductor:
Solid annealed bare copper, sizes 19 AWG (.9mm), 22 AWG (.64mm), 24 AWG (.5mm) and 26 AWG (.4mm)
2.2 Insulation:
Inner layer of foamed natural polyolefin covered by outer layer of solid colored polyolefin, color coded in accordance with standard telephone industry code.
2.3 Twisted Pairs:
Individual conductors twisted into pairs with varying lays to minimize crosstalk and with specified color combinations to provide pair identification.
2.4 Cable Assembly:
Cables having 25 pairs and less are assembled in a single group. Cables having more than 25 pairs are assembled in units, each individually identified by color coded unit binders. The interstices between the pairs are filled with an 80°C filling compound.
2.5 Core Covering:
Non-hygroscopic dielectric tape.
2.6 Shield:
Electrically continuous 0.008 in. (0.2mm) thick polymer coated, corrugated aluminum tape applied longitudinally with overlapped edges and flooded with a flooding compound.
2.7 Jacket :
Black polyethylene.
2.8 Identification /Length Marking:
Manufacturer’s identification, pair count, conductor size, and year of
manufacture and surface marked on the jacket at 2 ft. (610mm intervals. Sequentially numbered length markings are located at alternate 2 ft. (610mm) intervals.
