SELF SUPPORTING AERIAL COPPER CABLE(05 TO 100 PAIRS)

Product Description

Polythene insulated jelly filled, armored Telecommunication Cables (05 to 100pairs with conductors’ dia of 0.4mm, 0.5mm and 0.6mm) are manufactured with reference to various international standards and specifications. Premier Cables offers a wide range of Telephone cables.

Application

This design is for Aerial applications and is used in the difficult terrains/hilly areas where underground installation is not possible or is difficult. This provides fast track solution as it is easy to deploy and also helps in the areas where permission of digging in the city areas, from civic authorities is difficult. It also provides immediate solution for restoration of communications without waiting for formal permission of digging and laying of underground cables. This Aerial Cable is designed for easy and economical installation with High Tensile Strength to overcome wind pressures and ice loadings.

Construction

1. 1. Conductor: Solid annealed copper with conductor sizes of 0.4, 0.5 & 0.6mm.
   2. Insulation: Colored high molecular weight solid High Density Polyethylene.
   3. Color Coding: Cables are fully color coded in accordance with PIC even count color code.
   4. Twining/pairing: Two colored insulated conductors are uniformly twisted together to form a pair. Varying lay length is designed to minimize the cross talk and capacitance unbalance.
   5. Stranding / Cabling: Twisted pairs are assembled into unit of 25 pairs. When desired for lay-up reason, the units are divided into two or more sub-units, which are bind with durably colored polyethylene tapes to form a compact and circular cable.
   6. Core Covering: A non-hygroscopic and dielectric Polyester Tape and Water Blocking Tape are applied helically having a suitable overlap.
   7. Shield: Eclectically continuous, Aluminum Tape applied longitudinally with an overlap. Tape is quoted on both sides with a copolymer polyethylene providing corrosion resistance and a complete and firm bond to the jacket inhibiting the entrance of the moisture into the cable core
   8. Jacket: Black High Molecular weight low density polyethylene compound.
   9. Identification: A plastic tape, duly marked with the manufacturers name, year of manufacture and cable size, if required, is placed under the core covering. Alternatively, these details may be printed on the outer jacket of cable.
   10. Messenger Wire: High Strength Messenger Wire made up of 7 strands is applied to this cable for its installation, which provides extra high strength and support to the installations against wind pressure, snow falls etc.
