Application
The cables are designed for local main network where it is pressurized. They are used as subscriber distribution cables and as connection between central offices. The cables are suitable for installation in ducts in access or trunk networks.
Standards
• CW 1224
Construction
Conductors
Solid annealed bare copper, 0.32/0.4/0.5/0.63/0.9mm as per class 1 of BS 6360/IEC 60228
Isolation
Solid annealed bare copper, 0.32/0.4/0.5/0.63/0.9mm as per class 1 of BS 6360/IEC 60228
Twisted Pairs
Insulated conductors are twisted into pairs with varying lay length to minimize crosstalk
Elément de câblage
Twisted Pairs
Cable Core Assemblée
Cables with up to 100 pairs are composed of 25-pair units or 12/13-pair units; cables with over 100 pairs are composed of 25, 50 or 100-pair units cabled together. Any extra pairs form a separate unit. Units are identified by colour coded binders
Core Wrapping
One or more non-hygroscopic polyester tapes are helically or longitudinally laid with an overlap. These tapes furnish thermal, mechanical as well as high dielectric protection between shielding and individual conductors
Moisture Barrier(optional)
A layer of aluminium tape (0.15mm) coated with PE-copolymer on one or both sides and applied longitudinally with overlap over the cable core to provide 100% electrical shielding coverage and ensures a barrier against water vapor
Gaine
Black low density polyethylene as per BS 6234/IEC 60708, being able to withstand exposure to sunlight, temperature variations, ground chemicals and other environmental contaminants
Ripcord
Ripcord may be provided for slitting the sheath longitudinally to facilitate its removal
Paires de rechange (optional)
Spare pairs may be incorporated for 200 and larger pair cables
Fil de continuité (optional)
One tinned copper drain wire may be longitudinally laid to ensure electrical continuity of the screen
