Construction of Drop Cables CENTER CONDUCTOR Copper - clad steel 21% minimum conductivity DIELECTRIC Closed cell, high velocity precision foamed polyethylene. Attenuation stability from 0% to 100% relative humidity. FIRST OUTER CONDUCTOR Sealed aluminum-polyethylene-aluminum (APA) laminated tape longitudinally wrapped with an overlap around the dielectric. SECOND OUTER CONDUCTOR Standard coverage aluminum alloy wire braids improve shielding ability. THIRD OUTER CONDUCTOR FOURTH OUTER CONDUCTOR Unsealed aluminum-polyethylenealuminum (APA) laminated tape. MESSENGER PVC jacked, galvanized steel wire integrally attached to cable jacket with esily separable PVC web serves as support for cable JACKET Protective PVC applied over the braid to environmentally seal the constructin. Economy coverage aluminum alloy wire braids assuring good metalic contact in the overlap of the tape. CORROSION RESISTANT PROTECTANT Aerial life Time. TM Is dripless compound which remains functional over a temperature range of - 40° C to + 90°C. Underground Polyisobutylene flooding compoud Has cold flow properties for self-healing of small jacket ruptures.
Structure of dielectric ( close cells ) Material : low loss gas injected polyethylene • structure of closed cells - protection against moisture ingress • optimum dielectric hardness - improves mechanical propertice • • of cable The foam is bonded to the center conductor with moistureblocking polymer - prevent removing out of central conductor. This construction garante attenuation stability from 0 % to 100 % relative humidity.
Basic Construction Variants Standard and Premium Trishield Quadshield Approximate value of screening effectiveness ( before flecture ) • • Standard Premium Trishield Quadshield 85 d. B 95 d. B 105 d. B 115 d. B These construction variants are available for all series (59, 6, 7, 11 and TX 10 - 15)
Corrosion Resistant Protectant life Time. TM • • • corrosion resistant protectant barrier against moisture ingress not dripping stability through a wide range of temperatures ( - 40° C to + 90° C ) suitable for aerial or indoor use life Time. TM - available exclusively from TFC A stable gel-like composition is applied to the Al braid and underlying tape.

Semiflexible Cables What is T 10 and TX 10? • 2 GHz BANDWIDTH COAXIAL CABLE (Trunk & Feeder) • TRIPLE BONDED Centre to Dielectric/ Dielectric to Outer/ Outer to Jacket • SEAMLESS OUTER CONDUCTOR T 10: Full Wall TX 10: Reduced Wall • LONG-TERM RELIABILITY
Construction of Semiflex Cables CENTER CONDUCTOR Copper - clad aluminum or solid copper CONDUCTOR COATING Proprietary polymer adhesive coating to provaide moisture blocking, bonding the dielectric and enhancing foam structure stability. DIELECTRIC Foamed polyethylene produced by injection in combination with proprietary nucleating agents and enhanced dimensional uniformity. FLOADING COMPOUNDS • SELF-HEALING Cold flowing, low molecular weight flooding compound for self-healing of jacket damage. Intended for underground instalations. • NON-FLOWING Intended for aerial instalations, non-dripping flooding compound. DIELECTRIC ADHESIVE COATING Proprietary polymer adhesive coating to bond core to outer conducter for improved handling and strenght charakteristics in cold weather. OUTER CONDUCTOR Seamless high purity electrical grade aluminum tube. JACKET ADHESIVE Proprietary non-residue polymer adhesive ( Not used on cables with flooding compounds ). ARMOR A 0. 010 inch thick steel tape per SAE/AISI 1010 for steel JACKET Abrasion resistant, low coefficient offriction medium density black polyethylene.
Triple Bonded System Benefits : ● corrosion protectant agains moisture ingress ● provides adhesion strength to - 40°C , drastically reducing center conductor pull-outs due to extreme temperature changes ● impruves handling and facilitates the use of standard connectors ● prevents concealment of aluminum sheat demage, identifying problems before the cable is installed ● allows all components to operate together as a single unit ● offers benefits of increased pull strength an resistance to possible sidewall pressure damage during instalation ● solves the instances of connector pull-outs, further reducing cable service problems after instalation Triple Bonded System
