Product Description
Multi-pair, self-supporting Aerial Service Wires (ASW) are used for subscriber
lines in exchange plant; single-pair is often used for lateral runs from aerial
plant. In both single and multi-pair types, the wire core is laid parallel to a
solid steel support wire and jacketed in an integral extrusion to form a
figure-8 configuration utilizing a 0.109" solid, extra-high strength steel
support member.
 |
Conductors: Solid
annealed copper in 19, 22 and 24 AWG.
|
|
|
Insulation: Each
conductor is insulated with solid high-density color coded polyethylene
resulting in excellent electrical and mechanical properties. Standard color
codes are used for pair identification with color compounds chosen for
electrical balance and permanency.
|
|
|
Assembly: Individual
conductors are carefully twisted into pairs in a manner designed to minimize
resistance unbalance. In multi-pair constructions, pair twist lays are varied to
minimize crosstalk and meet capacitance unbalance requirements. Twisted pairs
are formed into a firm, round core.
|
|
|
Outer Jacket: A
black, high-molecular weight, polyethylene provides a tough, flexible protective
covering that withstands exposure to sunlight, atmospheric temperatures and
stresses encountered in standard installations. The steel support wire is
jacketed in an integral extrusion with the core.

Application:
4SProducts
multi-pair
ASWire® cables are used
for
subscriber lines in exchange
plant. The
single-pair is often used for lateral runs from aerial plant.
Qualifications and Approvals:
Manufactured to meet requirements
for Hard Drawn Copper Wire ASTM B3.
