ALPETH Cable is a solid insulated, single jacket air core design intended for aerial installations. In this application, the cable must be attached to a support strand (messenger). ALPETH cable is not recommended for any buried or duct application, with or without air pressure.

Features:
• Tightly controlled individual conductor dimensions
• Specially designed pair twist lays
• Core wrap
• Bare aluminum tape shield
• Polyethylene jacket

Benefits:
• Limits resistance unbalance of paired conductors
• Minimizes crosstalk and meets the capacitance unbalance requirements
• Protects core and provides improved mechanical and electrical characteristics
• Assures good electrical contact with non-piercing bonding clamps
• Provides a tough, flexible, protective covering that withstands exposure to sunlight, atmospheric temperatures and stresses expected in standard installations

Specifications:
Conductor: Solid annealed copper

Insulation: Solid polyolefin in distinctive colors to facilitate pair identification

≤ 25-Pair Core: Pairs are combined into a cylindrical core

> 50-Pair Core: Multiples of 25-pair groups are assembled to form the final cable core; each group is identified by color coded non-hygroscopic binders; for 1,200-pair and larger, the color code is a Mirror Image design

Core Wrap: Non-hygroscopic dielectric material protects the core and helps provide core-to-shield dielectric strength

Shield: Corrugated bare 8 mil aluminum tape is applied longitudinally over the core wrap

Jacket: Black polyethylene

Shield/Jacket Options: If extra mechanical protection is desired, an additional outer steel armor and polyethylene jacket (UM) can be requested

Jacket Marking: Manufacturer’s identification, pair count, AWG, product identification, sequential footage and a telephone handset printed at 2 foot intervals

Standards Compliance:
• Telcordia® GR-421-CORE Issue 2
• RoHS-compliant

Applications: Lashed aerial
