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.
