Insulation
Okolene® is Okonite's trade name for its low loss
polyethylene insulation. The two solid bare copper conductors are
insulated with Okolene and twisted together to form a balanced pair. A
belt of Okolene is then extruded over the twisted pair and into the
interstices.
Shield and Jacket
A polyester tape, 5 mil flat copper tape and a 5/64” black Okolene jacket is
applied over the belted core to complete the construction a twin coaxial
cable configuration.
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.
Specifications
Conductors: Solid uncoated copper per ASTM B-3.
