Construction and Materials
Cable Construction & Materials
-
Center Conductor – CuAg/Cu/CCS/CCA
-
Center Conductor Bond – Proprietary, clean stripping. polymer is utilized to block moisture migration.
-
Dielectric – Unique mix of polyethylene providing mechanically stable, closed-cell foam with high VP.
-
First Outer Conductor – Excellent HF shield isolation before and after flexure is provided by 100% coverage with an aluminum-polyester aluminum(APA)tape securely bonded to the dielectric core.
-
Second Outer Conductor – A fine wire Aluminum/ Cu/CCA/CuAg braid wire
-
Third Outer Conductor – An additional aluminum-polyester-aluminum (APA)tape is used in Tri-shield and Quad-shield constructions to further enhance HF shield isolation before and after flexure.
-
Fourth Outer Conductor – An additional fine wire aluminum Cu/CCA/CuAg braid is used in Quadshield constructions to further improve LF shield isolation in extreme RF noise environments.
-
Corrosion Resistant Protectant –
Indoor and Aerial
A non-drip material designed to eliminate moisture migration into the cable construction.
Underground
A flowing compound able to seal small jacket ruptures.
-
Jacket – A UV-stable outer jacket of either polyethylene (PE) or polyvinyl chloride(PVC) LSZH is available to protect the core during installation and for the installed life of the cable.
-
Messenger – A galvanized. carbon steel wire support member attached to the cable by a separable web.
