Construction
- Conductor: Class B compact stranded bare copper per ASTM B3 and ASTM B496
- Conductor Shield: Semi-conducting cross-linked copolymer
- Insulation: Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) 100% and 133% Insulation Level
- Insulation Shield: Strippable semi-conducting cross-linked copolymer
- Copper Tape Shield: Helically wrapped 5 mil copper tape with 25% overlap
- Grounding Conductors: Two Class B compressed stranded bare copper per ASTM B3 and ASTM B8
- Ground Check: Class B compressed stranded bare copper per ASTM B3 and ASTM B8 with yellow high strength, polypropylene insulation
- Filler: Rubber Fillers as needed
- Reinforcement: Tape and Reinforcing twine applied over the core for improved mechanical integrity and ease of stripping
- Jacket: Black, mold cured, single layer, flame resistant, thermosetting Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE). Alternate jacket colors available
- Reflective Stripe: Highly visible reflective stripe embedded into the outer jacket to increase safety and help prevent cable runover (optional, contact your sales representative for part number)
