Ordering Information

 PE Insulated ISDN Basic Access Air Core Cables

Application

The cables are used as basic access for ISDN services in central office wiring and cabling for ISDN basic access

installation.

Standards

ER.f5.058

Construction

Telephone CablesTelephone Cables

Conductors

Solid annealed bare copper sized 0.5/0.6mm as per ASTM B-3/IEC 60228 class 1

Insulation

Solid polyethylene as per ASTM D 1248/IEC 60708

Twisted Pairs

Insulated conductors are twisted into pairs with varying lays to minimize crosstalk

Cable Core Assembly

The pairs are cabled together in layers of 12, 13 & 25 pair unit to form the cable core. Units are identified by

colour coded binders

Core Wrapping

One or more non-hygroscopic polyester tapes are helically or longitudinally laid with an overlap

Sheath

PVC/LSZH

Ripcord (optional)

Nylon ripcord may be placed parallel to the cores to facilitate sheath removal
