Construction
Solid bare copper conductors insulated with thermoplastics polyolefin. Two insulated conductors twisted together to form a pair and four such pairs cabled to form the basic unit. A cross filler is cabled in between to separate the 4 pairs insulated conductors . Aluminum Polyester Tape and tinned copper braiding overall the 4pairs .Overall jacket with PVC, LSZH, PE compound.
