Copper Shield | Single Jacket | Filled-Gel

Outside Plant Copper Cable - Exchange Cable

 

Description

 

bullet Conductors: Solid annealed copper in 19, 22 and 24 AWG.
bullet Insulation: Conductors are insulated with solid polyolefin, color coded in accordance with industry standards.
bullet Twisted Pairs: Individual conductors are twisted into pairs with varying lay lengths to minimize crosstalk and specific color combinations to provide pair identification.
bullet Core Assembly: Cables of 25 pairs or less are assembled into a cylindrical core. Cables larger than 25 pairs are assembled into units, which are then used to assemble the core. Units are individually identifiable by color coded unit binders.
bullet Filling Compound: The core assembly is filled with an 80° C ETPR or PIB Base Jelly compound, completely filling the interstices between the pairs and under the core wrap.
bullet Core Wrap: A non-hygroscopic, dielectric tape is applied over the core assembly to provide protection for the core.
bullet Shielding: A corrugated, 5-mil copper tape is applied longitudinally with an overlap. The shield interfaces are flooded with an adhesive compound to provide a moisture barrier and inhibit corrosion.
bullet Jacket: A black, linear low-density polyethylene jacket is applied overall. The jacket provides a tough protective covering designed to withstand exposure to direct sunlight, atmospheric temperature changes and stresses expected in standard installations.
bullet Jacket Markings: Information, such as manufacturer's identification, pair count, AWG, product identification and a telephone handset is printed at 2 ft. intervals on the cable jacket. Sequential footage markings are printed at alternate 2 ft. intervals.
bullet Optional Designs: CoFOUR®-F is available with an screen for use with T-Carrier systems.
CoFOUR®-F + M is available with mechanical protection.

 

Applications

4SProducts CoFOUR®-F cables are designed for use in duct or direct burial applications where protection from moisture is required. CoFOUR®-F cables may be used aerially, but must be attached to a support strand.

 

Qualifications & Approvals
