PE Insulated Category 3 UTP/FTP Cables
Application
The cables are designed for medium frequency data or telephone systems, suitable for indoor or outdoor insulations.
Standards
• TIA/EIA-568B
• IEC 61156-4
• UL-444
• ANSI/ICEA S-80-576
Construction
Conductors
Solid annealed bare copper sized 0.5mm (24 AWG) as per ASTM-B3/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
Cable Core Assembly
The 50-pair cable is composed of 4 units having 12 or 13 pairs each. All other cables are composed of 25-pair units. Units are identified by colour coded binders
Core Wrapping
Non-hygroscopic dielectric tape fully enclosing the core with an overlap
Screen (optional)
An optional Aluminium/Polyester tape placed in contact with solid copper drain wire may be provided as an option
Sheath
PVC or LSZH
Ripcord
Nylon ripcord may be placed parallel to the cores to facilitate sheath removal
