Construction:

Conductors: 

The conductor shall be Class B compressed concentric stranded bare copper in accordance with ASTM Specs B3 and B8 and ICEA Part 2, Section 2.1 and 2.5

Conductor Shield:

The conductor shall be shielded with an extruded semi-conducting thermosetting polymeric layer, which shall be firmly bonded to the insulation. The thickness shall be in accordance with the referenced standards.

Insulation:

The insulation shall be EPR (ethylene propylene rubber) meeting the requirements of the referenced standards. The average thickness shall be 0.090" and the minimum spot thickness shall be not less than 90% of the average thickness

Insulation Shield:

The insulation shall be shielded with an extruded semi-conducting thermosetting polymeric layer which shall be identified as being semi-conducting. Over this layer shall be applied a helically wrapped 5-mil copper tape.

Grounding Conductor:

The ground conductor shall be Class B compressed concentric stranded bare copper in accordance with ASTM B3 and B8.

Assembly:

The insulated and shielded power conductors shall be cabled round with fillers and with a grounding conductor in one outer interstice and covered with a binder tape.

Jacket:

The cable shall be covered with a black PVC jacket conforming to the requirements specified for polyvinyl chloride in ICEA. The average thickness shall be in accordance with the referenced standards and the minimum spot thickness shall be not be less than 80% of the average thickness. The jacket will be sunlight resistant and will meet the requirements of the IEEE 1202
