Product Code: A-2YS(L)2YB2Y

  • Cable Construction
  • Technical Data
1 – Conductor : Electrolytic annealed solid copper (CCITT Yellow Book Vol. III-2-G.541 B article, IEC 28 and ASTM B 3).
2 – Insulation : Color coded solid polyethylene insulation (BS 6234 Type 03 – ASTM D 1248).
3 – Stranding : In layers
4 – Wrapping : A non-hygroscopic and dielectric polyester tape is applied on the cable core longitudinally or helically.
5 – Screen : Both sides are coated with copolymer coated flat aluminum tape over cable core longitudinally for screening.
6 – Inner Jacket : Linear low-density or medium-density, UV resistant black polyethylene inner jacket (ASTM D 1248).
7 – Filling Compound : Water-swellable tape or filling compund (Jelly) is applied between inner jacket and armor in order to have waterproofness.
8 – Armor : Copolymer coated corrugated steel tape is applied to secure the cable from rodents.
9 – Outer Jacket : Linear low-density or medium-density, UV resistant black polyethylene outer jacket (ASTM D 1248).
