Construction of Drop Cables
CENTER CONDUCTOR
Copper - clad steel 21%
minimum conductivity
DIELECTRIC
Closed cell, high velocity precision foamed polyethylene.
Attenuation stability from 0% to 100% relative humidity.
FIRST OUTER CONDUCTOR
Sealed aluminum-polyethylene-aluminum
(APA) laminated tape longitudinally
wrapped with an overlap around the
dielectric.
SECOND OUTER CONDUCTOR
Standard coverage aluminum alloy wire braids
improve shielding ability.
THIRD OUTER CONDUCTOR
FOURTH OUTER CONDUCTOR
Unsealed aluminum-polyethylenealuminum (APA) laminated tape.
MESSENGER
PVC jacked, galvanized steel wire
integrally attached to cable jacket
with esily separable PVC web
serves as support for cable
JACKET
Protective PVC applied over the braid to
environmentally seal the constructin.
Economy coverage aluminum alloy wire braids
assuring good metalic contact in the overlap of the
tape.
CORROSION RESISTANT PROTECTANT
Aerial
life TimeTM
Is dripless compound which remains functional over a
temperature range of - 40° C to + 90°C.
Underground
Polyisobutylene flooding compoud
Has cold flow properties for self-healing of small jacket ruptures.
Structure of dielectric ( close cells )
Material : low loss gas
injected polyethylene
•
•
•
•
structure of closed cells - protection against moisture ingress
optimum dielectric hardness - improves mechanical propertice
of cable
The foam is bonded to the center conductor with moistureblocking polymer - prevent removing out of central conductor.
This construction garante attenuation stability from 0 % to
100 % relative humidity.

Construction of Semiflex Cables
CENTER CONDUCTOR
DIELECTRIC ADHESIVE COATING
Copper - clad aluminum or solid copper
Proprietary polymer adhesive coating to bond core
to outer conducter for improved handling and
strenght charakteristics in cold weather.
CONDUCTOR COATING
Proprietary polymer adhesive coating to
provaide moisture blocking, bonding the
dielectric and enhancing foam structure
stability.
DIELECTRIC
Foamed polyethylene produced by injection
in combination with proprietary nucleating
agents and enhanced dimensional uniformity.
FLOADING COMPOUNDS
• SELF-HEALING
Cold flowing, low molecular weight flooding
compound for self-healing of jacket damage.
Intended for underground instalations.
• NON-FLOWING
Intended for aerial instalations, non-dripping
flooding compound.
OUTER CONDUCTOR
Seamless high purity electrical grade aluminum
tube.
JACKET ADHESIVE
Proprietary non-residue polymer adhesive ( Not
used on cables with flooding compounds ).
ARMOR
A 0.010 inch thick steel tape per SAE/AISI 1010
for steel
JACKET
Abrasion resistant, low coefficient offriction
medium density black polyethylene.
Triple Bonded System
Benefits :
●
corrosion protectant agains moisture ingress
●
provides adhesion strength to - 40°C , drastically
reducing center conductor pull-outs due to extreme
temperature changes
●
impruves handling and facilitates the use of
standard connectors
●
prevents concealment of aluminum sheat demage,
identifying problems before the cable is installed
●
allows all components to operate together as a
single unit
●
offers benefits of increased pull strength an
resistance to possible sidewall pressure damage
during instalation
●
solves the instances of connector pull-outs, further
reducing cable service problems after instalation
