Construction
Conductors: Solid, annealed copper; sizes 19, 22, 24 and 26 AWG
Insulation: Solid, high-density polyethylene, 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
Core Wrap: Non-hygroscopic dielectric tape applied longitudinally with an overlap
Figure 8 ALPETH-GP Sheath
Aluminum Shield: Corrugated, 0.008" aluminum tape applied longitudinally with an overlap
First Jacket: Black, linear low-density polyethylene jacket over the aluminum tape
Steel Tape: Corrugated, 0.006" steel tape flooded on both sides, applied longitudinally over the first jacket with an overlap
Support Messenger: A 1/4", 7-strand, extra high-strength galvanized steel wire, fully flooded for corrosion protection
Outer Jacket: Black, linear low-density polyethylene is applied in an integral extrusion over the steel tape and support messenger to form a “Figure 8” configuration
