OSP Copper Cable for Line Powering - Bell System Type ANAA
Filled Foam Skin ALPETH and PE-89 cables are specifically designed for Telco Line Powering applications. These cables have a copper core and an ETPR filling compound that occupies the spaces between wire pairs. Additionally, they include a core wrap tape to prevent moisture from entering. These cables are suitable for low-risk direct burial or duct applications. Although they can also be used in aerial installations, it is essential that they are securely attached to a support strand.

Core Construction
Conductors: Solid, annealed copper; size 22 AWG
Insulation: Dual insulation consisting of an inner layer of foamed polyolefin surrounded by a solid polyolefin skin, color-coded in accordance with telephone industry standards
Twisted Pairs: Insulated conductors are twisted into pairs with varying lay lengths to minimize crosstalk
Core Assembly:
- 25 pairs and less: pairs are assembled together in a single group
- More than 25 pairs: pairs are arranged in groups, each group having a color-coded unit binder
- 1200 pairs and larger are mirror image color code
Filling Compound: The entire core assembly is completely filled with ETPR compound, filling the interstices between the pairs and under the core tape
Core Wrap: Non-hygroscopic dielectric tape applied longitudinally with an overlap
Sheath
Aluminum Shield:
- Corrugated, 0.008" aluminum tape applied longitudinally with an overlap
- The sheath interfaces are flooded with an adhesive water-blocking compound
