About:

The "Okoguard Aluminum Filled Strand Shield Neutral EPR Concentric BC PE URO-J 25KV URD Cable" is designed for underground power distribution. It features Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR) insulation, a concentric bare copper shield, and a polyethylene jacket, making it suitable for high-voltage applications requiring durability and resistance to environmental factors.

Also Known As:

• 25KV URD (Underground Residential Distribution) cable
• EPR Insulated Aluminum Shielded Cable
• High Voltage URD Cable

Application:

• Okoguard URO-J cables provide maximum circuit longevity in underground residential distribution systems. They can be buried directly or installed in underground ducts or conduits.

Standards:

• ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) standards for material and construction
• ICEA (Insulated Cable Engineers Association) standards for performance
• ANSI (American National Standards Institute) specifications for safety and quality
• Additional standards pertaining to environmental resilience and fire resistance, depending on specific enhancements by the manufacturer

Construction:

• Central Conductor: Aluminum per ASTM B609, Class B stranded per B-231.
• Filled Strand: Water swellable agent meets or exceeds ICEA T-31-610 water penetration resistance and ANSI/NEMA Class A connectorability requirements.
• Conductor Screen: Extruded semiconducting ethylene-propylene rubber meets or exceeds the requirements of ICEA S-94-649, AEIC CS8, and CSA C68.5.
• Insulation: Extruded Okoguard meets or exceeds the requirements of ICEA S-94-649, AEIC CS8, and CSA C68.5.
• Insulation Screen: Extruded semiconducting ethylene-propylene rubber meets or exceeds the requirements of ICEA S-94-649, AEIC CS8, and CSA C68.5.
• Concentric Conductor: Bare copper concentric wires helically applied.
• Jacket: Black Okolene with 3 red extruded stripes meets or exceeds the requirements of ICEA S-94-649, AEIC CS8, and CSA C68.5 for polyethylene jackets.
