Insulation
Okonite EPR® insulation is a heat, moisture and chemical resistant, mechanically rugged zero halogenated compound. The insulation thickness shall meet the requirements of AREMA Signal Manual - Part 10.3.16 or Part 10.3.17 Table I - Type II. Each conductor is number coded for ease of identification.

Jackets
Individual conductors are assembled with flame and moisture resistant fillers where needed and cable cushioning tape. Jacket materials will be one of the types listed in AREMA Signal Manual - Part 10.3.16 (1996) or Part 10.3.17 (1995). Jacket thickness shall meet Table III of these sections.

Application
Cables are designed for underground duct installations below grade or direct burial installation, where rugged mechanical characteristics are required for vital circuit safety related applications.
