Construction

Conductor	Plain annealed copper wire, stranded according to IEC(EN) 60228 class 2.
Insulation	Mica glass tape covered by extruded cross-linked XLPE compound or fire resistant silicone rubber compound type EI2 as per BS 7655-1.1.
Cabling Elements	Insulated cores are twisted to form pairs with varying lay length to minimize crosstalk. Two-pair cable had four cores laid in quad formation.
Cabling	Pairs are cabled together.In cables with 8 pairs or more, 4 pairs are assembled to form a bunch, the bunches are then cabled together.
Overall Screen	Aluminum/polyester tape with 0.5mm2 screen (7/0.3mm) tinned copper drain wire.
Inner Sheath(optional)	Thermoplastic LSZH compound type LTS3 as per BS 7655-6.1
Armouring	Galvanized steel wire armour
Outer Sheath	Thermoplastic LSZH compound type LTS3 as per BS 7655-6.1(Thermosetting LSZH compound type SW2-SW4 as per BS 7655-2.6 can be offered.)

Electrical Properties

Dielectric test:	2000 V r.m.s. x 5’ (core/core)
Insulation Resistance	XLPE: ≥1000 MΩ x km (at 20°C); SR: ≥300 MΩ x km (at 20°C)
Short circuit Temperature	XLPE: 250°C SR: 350°C
