PE Insulated ISDN Primary Access Air Core Cables

 
Applications
 
  The cables are designed for digital communications where 120Ω impedance are required during copper interconnection. They are used as primary access for ISDN services inside buildings between network termination equipment and subscriber termination equipment (G703 E1/T1 systems 2.048 or 1.544 Mbps).
Standards
  • ER.f5.101
Construction  
  Conductors: Solid annealed bare copper sized 0.4/0.5mm 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 lays to minimize crosstalk.
  Cable Core Assembly: The pairs are cabled together in layers of 12, 13 & 25 pair unit to form the cable 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.
  Screen: Aluminium/Polyester tape is applied longitudinally with an overlap.
  Sheath: PVC or LSZH compound.  
  Ripcord: Nylon ripcord may be placed parallel to the cores to facilitate sheath removal.  
  Armour (optional): Corrugated steel tape armour.  
  Additional Outer Sheath: PVC (for NYY Cables); PE (for Armoured Cables); LSZH.  
  Drain Wire: Solid tinned copper 0.5mm drain wire may be laid longitudinally under the screen.
