Insulation
Okoguard is Okonite's registered trade name for its exclusive ethylene-propylene rubber
(EPR) based, thermosetting compound, whose optimum balance of electrical and physical
properties is unequalled in other solid dielectrics. Okoguard insulation, with the
distinctive red color and a totally integrated EPR system, provides the optimum balance of
electrical and physical properties for long, problem free service.
The triple tandem extrusion of the screens with the insulation provides optimum
electrical characteristics.
An insulation screen of ethylene-propylene rubber is extruded over the insulation. The
copper concentric wires are uniformly spaced around the insulation screen. The overall
polyethylene jacket provides protection against mechanical damage and corrosion.
Product identification is provided through the use of three red stripes placed 120°
apart in the black jacket.
Applications
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. |
