General
These are used for telephone distribution within buildings and is usually laid in conduits or directly buried. The cable is fully coilor coded, insulated with solid PVC/Polyethylene. The insulated conductors are twisted into pairs, which are assembled to form a round core. the cable construction is completed by the application of suitable core wrapping material and overall PVC jacket on which sequentailly length marking is print.
Reference Standards
Conductors
Conductors: Solid annealed bare or limned copper sized 0.4 0.4 or 0.6 mm, with PVC/PE insulation.
Pairs/Quards
Pairs/Quads: insulated conductors are twisted into pairs/quads with varying lays to minimize Capacitance Unbalance and cross-talk. The pairs/quads with varying lays to minimize inentification of each wire. Customer Specified Color Codes can also be made available.
Cable Assembly
Cable Core Assembly: The insulated pairs/quads are stranded units of 10/20 pairs. These Units are identified by color coded binders. For higher pairs cables, a number of such units are stranded together to form a super-unit. Coloured identification binder is applied around these super-units for easy identification.
Core covering Moisture Barrier
A non-hygroscopic dielectric tape is applied hetically or longitudinally with an overlap enclosing the core. A Rip cord is provided under the Jacket.
Jacket
PVC or a Halogen Free Flame Retardant compound. Grey or cream colors are standard, The outer jacket is ink jet printed with sequential meter marking along with other details.
Packing
100 Mtrs += 10% or 500 Mtrs += 10% in coils or in Drums.
