Product Description
Single-pair, vinyl-insulated
aerial drop wire designed for use in extending telephone circuits to subscriber
premises by means of an aerial drop from distribution wire or cable.
 |
Conductors: Two round
18.0 AWG solid 30% conductivity extra high strength copper/steel wires serve
dually as conductors and strength members. Optimized tensile breaking strength
and elongation assure superior toughness against ice loading and impact from
falling ice-coated tree limbs and other mechanical shocks.
|
|
|
Insulation: Conductors are
laid in a parallel configuration and covered with flame and abrasion resistant,
all-weather black polyvinyl chloride compound that serves as both insulation and
jacket. One raised ridge tracer on one edge of the jacket provides conductor
polarity identification.
|
Application:
4SProducts DSWire®-14 cables are designed for extending an
open wire line or distribution cable pair from a pole and/or cable terminal to a
building.
Qualifications and Approvals:
Manufactured to meet requirements of REA PE-7;
ASTM B-227; BS-6004
