APPLICATION: |
|
1.1 |
The cable is designed for use as a duct or
direct burial. The core is filled with a filling compound and
the sheath interfaces are flooded with a flooding compound to
protect it from moisture entry. |

2.3 |
Twisted Pairs: |
|
|
The insulated conductors are twisted with varying
lays to minimize crosstalk with no pair lay greater than 6"
(15.24 cm.) |
|
2.4 |
Cable Assembly: |
|
The twisted pairs are assembled to form a substantially
cylindrical core. A fill compound is applied to fill voids and
conforming to REA PE-39/PE-54 requirements. |
|

Core Covering: |
|
|
Polyester tape is longitudinally applied with
an overlap. |
|
|
|
 |

Shield: |
|
Electrically continuous , 0.008" (0.2mm) thick,
coated, corrugated aluminum shield, longitudinally applied with
an overlap. Flooding compound is applied under and over the
shield.
NOTE: Shield is imbedded within the outer jacket on PE-54 |
| 2.7 |
Jacket: |
|
Black polyethylene. |
