Solid PE Insulated & LAP Sheathed Jelly Filled Cables to RUS (REA) PE-39 (ICEA S-84-608)

Application

The telephone cables are designed for use as subscriber distribution cables and as connection between central offices. The recommended installation is in ducts

Standards

• RUS (REA) PE-39 (RUS 7 CFR 1755.390)
• ICEA S-84-608

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 medium or high density polyethylene as per ASTM D 1248/IEC 60708
TwistedPairs
Insulated conductors are twisted into pairs with varying lay length to minimize crosstalk
CablingElement
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 PE copolymer coated aluminium tape (0.2mm/8mil) is applied longitudinally with overlap over the cable core to provide 100% electrical shielding coverage and ensure a barrier against water vapor
Sheath
Black low 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 contaminants
Ripcord
Ripcord may be provided for slitting the sheath longitudinally to facilitate its removal
SparePairs (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
