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.
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
