Assembly
Binder: A suitable binder is permitted before application of an extruded inner covering
Innner covering and filler: Innner covering may be extruded or lapped.
The materials used for inner coverings and fillers shall be suitable for the operating temperature of the cable and compatible with the insulating material
For halogen free cables, the inner covering and fillers shall also be halogen free compound.
Armor : armour aluminum/galvanized steel/steel wires applied helically over the inner covering or double aluminum/steel tapes and copper/tinned copper wire,can also be manufactured upon request.
Outer Sheath: extruded PVC Type ST1/ST, (or Polyethylene type ST3/ST7; or Halogen free compound ST8; or Polychloroprene, chlorosulfonated polyethylene or similar polymers, type SE1)
