JELLY FILLED COPPER CABLE (ARMOURED)

Product Description

Polythene insulated jelly filled, armored Telecommunication Cables
(10 to 2400pairs with conductors dia of 0.4mm, 0.5mm, 0.6mmand
0.9mm) are manufactured on Pakistan Telecommunication Company
specifications LW-33 with reference to various international standards
and specifications. Premier Cables offers a wide range of Telephone
cables.

Application

This cable is usually used for direct buried applications for distribution
in the exchange areas as local network and interexchange
applications. The steel armoring provides the increased mechanical
strength. It is a cable with solid polyethylene insulated unit twin jelly
filled construction.

Construction

a. Conductor:
Solid annealed copper with conductor sizes of 0.4 & 0.6mm.

b. Insulation:
Colored high molecular weight solid High Density Polyethylene.

c. Color Coding:
Cables are fully color coded in accordance with PIC even count
color code.

d. Twining/pairing:
Two colored insulated conductors are uniformly twisted together
to forma pair. Varying lay length is designed to minimize the
cross talk and capacitance unbalance.

e. Stranding / Cabling:
Twisted pairs are assembled into unit of 25 pairs. When desired
for lay-up reason, the units are divided into two or more sub-
units, which are bind with durably colored polyethylene tapes to
forma compact and circular cable.

f. FillingCompound:
The water resistant filling compound is applied to the air space
within the cable core.

g. CoreCovering:
A non-hygroscopic and dielectric Polyester Tape and Water
Blocking Tape are applied helically having a suitable overlap.

h. FloodingCompound:
Sufficient flooding compound is applied between the core wrap
and shield.

i. MoistureBarrier Inner Sheath:
An aluminumtape with co-polymer coating is applied over the
cable core and then sheathed with black polyethylene
compound.

j. Armor:
A single plastic coated or tin coated steel corrugated armor is
applied longitudinally directly over the Inner Sheath with suitable
flooding compound.

k. Jacket:
Black High Molecular weight low density polyethylene
compound.

l. Identification:
A plastic tape, duly marked with the manufacturers name, year of
manufacture and cable size, if required, is placed under the core
covering. Alternatively, these details may be printed on the outer
jacket of cable.
