    Available as twisted pairs in 25 Pair Units.

    Product description

    Plain annealed solid copper wire, cellular polyethylene insulation, twisted pairs, petroleum jelly filling, paper core wrap, and black low- density polyethylene sheath. The armour is used as additional protection of telecommunication cables for direct burial.

    The jelly-filled cable is armoured with a suitable number of galvanised mild steel wires applied directly over the polyethylene sheath of the cable. The wires comply with BS EN 10257 Part 1 except that the tensile strength is not less than 340 MN/m2 and not greater than 540 MN/ m2. The value of resistivity for the armour is not mandatory. The armoured cable is sheathed overall with PE.
