Solid PE Insulated & LAP Sheathed Air Core Cables to ICEA S-85-625

 
Applications
  The cables are designed for use as subscriber distribution cables and as connection between central offices. The cables are suitable for installation in ducts and aerial installation with integral suspension strand. A figure-8 self support option is offered for aerial installation.
Standards
  • ICEA S-85-625
  (formerly RUS (REA) PE-22 & RUS (REA) PE-38)
Construction
  Conductors: Solid annealed bare copper, 0.4/0.5/0.63/0.9mm, as per ASTM B-3/class 1 of IEC 60228.  
  Insulation: Solid polyethylene as per ASTM D 1248/IEC 60708.
  Twisted Pairs: Insulated conductors are twisted into pairs with varying lay length to minimize crosstalk.
  Cabling Element: Twisted Pairs.
  Cable Core Assembly: Cables of 25 pairs or less are assembled into cylindrical core. Cables larger than 25 pairs are assembled into units, which are then used to form the core. Units are identified by colour coded binders.
  Core Wrapping: One or more non-hygroscopic polyester tapes are helically or longitudinally laid with an overlap. These tapes furnish thermal, mechanical as well as high dielectric protection between shielding and individual conductors.  
  Moisture Barrier: A layer of corrugated copolymer coated aluminium tape (0.2mm/8mil) is applied longitudinally with overlap over the cable core to provide 100% electrical shielding coverage and ensures a barrier against water vapor.  
  Sheath: Black Low density or medium density polyethylene as per ASTM D 1248/IEC 60708, being able to withstand exposure to sunlight, temperature variations, ground chemicals and other environmental ontaminants.
  Ripcord: Ripcord may be provided for slitting the sheath longitudinally to facilitate its removal.
  Spare Pairs (optional): Spare pairs may be provided for large pair cables.
  Continuity Wire (optional): One tinned copper drain wire may be longitudinally laid to ensure electrical continuity of the screen.  
Optional Construction
  • Self-Support Cables: A 7-strand galvanized steel strand is used as support wire. Black polyethylene sheath covers both core and
support wire in a figure-8 construction.
