207-84-3991 Centralized Traffic Control – Code Line Cable – 9 AWG
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
Applications
This C.T.C. cable is used on circuits where minimum attenuation and low capacity is essential. It is designed not only for code pulses but also provides for superimposed high frequency circuits. The cable is mechanically rugged and can be installed aerially or underground and is suitable for direct burial by means of a cable plow in all wet and dry locations.
