Insulation

Okolene (PE) is Okonite€™s trade name for its low loss polyethylene insulation. The two #10 AWG solid bare copper conductors, each insulated with Okolene, are twisted together to form a balanced pair. Two pairs of #16 AWG or #18 AWG communication wire with Okolene insulation are cabled into the interstices of the C.T.C. twisted pair. A polyester tape is wrapped over the assembly. A belt of Okolene is then extruded over the assembly.

Shield and Jacket

A polyester tape, 5 mil flat copper tape and 5/64" black Okolene jacket is applied over the belted core to complete the construction
