CONSTRUCTION
Conductor Stranded annealed plain copper to Class 2 of IEC 60228.

Insulation MICA impregnated glass tape + Cross linked Polyethylene (XLPE) to BS EN 50290-2-29.

Color Code Multi pair: Black & White with each core numbered.

Pair Construction Two insulated conductors are uniformly twisted to form a pair with 10-14 twist per meter.

Individual Screen Aluminum backed Mylar tape (25 m) is applied over each pair with an overlap of 25% with
the metallic side down in contact with a stranded tinned copper drain wire of 0.5mm 2
(7x0.3mm). All pair shields are electrically isolated from each other.

Cabling Required numbers of individually screened pairs are assembled with non-hygroscopic filler
and the assembly is wrapped with a polyester binder tape.

Collective Screen Aluminum backed Mylar tape (25 m) is applied with an overlap of 25% with the metallic
side down in contact with a stranded tinned copper drain wire of 0.5mm 2 (7x0.3mm) run
longitudinally over the binder tape.

Inner Sheath Low Smoke Zero Halogen thermoplastic to EN 50290-2-27 in Black color.

Armor A single layer of galvanized steel wire armor to EN 10257-1 is applied over the inner
sheath.

Outer Sheath Low Smoke Zero Halogen thermoplastic to EN 50290-2-27. The color of the sheath is as
per dimension sheet.
