Air Core Cables	

1

Plastic insulated Air Core Cables
provide a broad range of pair
sizes for the distribution of
telecommunication signals for
outside use. These cables can be
installed in underground ducts or
strung between poles, lashed to a
steel messenger or equipped with a
built-in messenger wire.

The temperature range that
Telecommunications cable can
withstand is:
For storage and operation:
	
-45˚C to 80˚C
	
-49˚F to 176˚F
For installation:
	
-30˚C to 60˚C
	
-22˚F to 140˚F

An industry-standard coIor-coding
system provides full identification
of every pair through the use of 10
different insulating coIors and nonhygroscopic unit binders.

All cables are equipped with
surface-printed identification and
sequential footage markings.

Different optional sheath designs
provide electrical shielding
necessary for proper grounding
and mechanical protection
against rodents and other physical
damage. A black, weather-resistant
polyethylene jacket is used on all
constructions for protection against
long-term outdoor exposure.

The cable design for 19, 22 and 24
AWG sizes has the transmission
performance capability of 100,
Category 3 Backbone UTP Cables
specified in TIA/EIA 568-C.
Our Telecommunications cable
constructions contain no halogens
(chlorine, fluorine, bromine or
iodine), which means they are less
toxic and more environmentally
friendly. Look for the 17 FREE™
logo.
General Cable Air Core Cables are
all proudly made in the U.S.A.

Filled Core Cables	
Plastic insulated Filled Core
Cables provide a broad range of
pair sizes for the distribution of
telecommunication signals for
outside use. These cables can be
installed in underground ducts
and direct buried applications
where protection against water and
moisture entry is required and may
also be installed aerially.
An industry standard color-coding
system provides full identification
of every pair through the use of 10
different insulating colors and nonhygroscopic unit binders. Designs
are available using either a solid,
polyolefin insulation or foamed
polyolefin with a solid polyolefin
skin. The solid insulation provides
a more robust Core Construction,
whereas the foam skin insulation
offers space saving advantages.
A variety of sheath designs are
avail­able that provide electrical
shielding necessary for proper
grounding and mechanical
protection against rodents and
other physical damage. A black,
weather-resistant polyethylene
jacket is used on all constructions
for protection against long-term
outdoor exposure.

2
The temperature range that
Telecommunications cable can
withstand is:
For storage and operation:
	
-45˚C to 80˚C
	
-49˚F to 176˚F
For installation:
	
-30˚C to 60˚C
	
-22˚F to 140˚F
All cables are equipped with
surface-printed identification and
sequential footage markings.
The cable design for 19, 22 and 24
AWG sizes has the transmission
performance capability of 100,
Category 3 Backbone UTP Cables
specified in TIA/EIA 568-C.
Our Telecommunications cable
constructions contain no halogens
(chlorine, fluorine, bromine or
iodine), which means they are less
toxic and more environmentally
friendly. Look for the 17 FREE™
logo.
General Cable Filled Core Cables
are all proudly made in the U.S.A.

	Telecommunications

Wire Products	
Wire products are small size
distribution wires used as the last
link in bringing telecommunication
services to the subscriber. These
services can incorporate voice, data
and video channels.
Wire products are used in
constructions from one pair to six
pairs. They are made for either
self-supported aerial or for buried
service applications.
Aerial Services Wires are supported
by either an integral steel wire, glass
fibers imbedded in the jacket, or by
the use of high tensile copper-clad
steel conductors.
Buried Service Products are
water-resistant and can be made
with different shielding materials
for mechanical protection during
installation and against damage by
rodents. All Buried Service Wire is
equipped with sequential footage
markings.

3
The temperature range that
Telecommunications cable can
withstand is:
For storage and operation:
	
-45˚C to 80˚C
	
-49˚F to 176˚F
For installation:
	
-30˚C to 60˚C
	
-22˚F to 140˚F
Multi-pair Aerial and Filled Service
Wires have the transmission
performance capability of 100,
Category 3 Horizontal UTP Cables
specified in TIA/EIA-568-C.
Most of our Telecommunications
wire constructions contain no
halogens (chlorine, fluorine,
bromine or iodine), which means
they are less toxic and more
environmentally friendly. Look for
the 17 FREE™ logo.

Pressurization: The use of pressurized gas or
dry air inside Air Core cables to prevent
the entry of water at faulty splices or minor
sheath cracks. It can also trigger an alarm
when major faults occur and can assist in
locating the damaged areas.
Pulling Eye: A device which may be fastened
to the conductor(s) or jacket of a cable or
formed by or fastened to the wire armor
and to which a hook or rope may be
directly attached in order to pull the cable
through a duct.
Put-Up: Refers to the packaging of wire and
cable. The term itself refers to the quantity
of product that is ready to be stored or
shipped.
Regional Bell Operating Company (RBOC): A
holding company formed by the divestiture
of AT&T to provide both regulated and nonregulated telephone services.
Resistance: The property of an electric circuit
which determines for a given current the
rate at which electric energy is converted
into heat and has a value such that the
current squared multiplied by the resistance
gives the power converted.
Restriction on Hazardous Substances
(RoHS): The European Commission’s
Directive 2002/95/EC adopted January 27,
2003, also know as “RoHS,” which restricts
the use of certain hazardous substances in
electrical and electronic equipment.
Ring Banding: See Bandmarking.
Rip Cord: A cord placed directly under the jacket
of a cable in order to facilitate stripping
(removal) of the jacket.
Screened Cables: A cable core design where an
aluminum shield divides the cable core into
two electrically separate compartments.

34

Sheath: The combination of a metallic shield
and an extruded plastic jacket applied as
the outermost covering on a cable. In the
absence of a shield, the extruded jacket
may be designated as a sheath.
Shield: A metallic layer placed around an
insulated conductor or group of conductors
to prevent electrostatic or electromagnetic
interference between the enclosed wires and
external fields. This shield can be braided
or served wires, foil wrap, foil backed tape,
a metallic tube, or conductive vinyl or
rubber. When a metallic braid of tinned or
bare copper is applied over the insulated
conductor, the shielding effectiveness is
in proportion to the amount of coverage,
usually expressed as a percentage.
Spark Test: A test designed to locate pinholes
in a wire’s insulation by application of an
electrical potential across the material for
a very short period of time while the wire is
drawn through an electrode field with one
end of the wire grounded.

Tracer Stripe: When more than one color coding
stripe is required, the first, or widest, stripe
is the base stripe; the other, usually narrower
stripes, being termed tracer stripes.
Twisted Pair: Two insulated conductors
spiraled together.
UL: 	 Abbreviation for Underwriters Laboratories,
a non-profit independent organization,
which operates a listing service for electrical
and electronic materials and equipment.
Unbundled Network Element Provider
(UNE-P): The wholesale purchase of all network
elements from the RBOC, with the CLEC
retaining the responsibility for integrating
the elements together in order to complete
connections and provide service.
Voice Frequency: Any of the frequencies that
are audible to the human ear. For telephone
transmission the range is generally from
300 to 3,400 Hz.

STALPETH: A cable sheath consisting of a
corrugated steel (ST) shield applied over
a corrugated aluminum (AL) shield and an
outer polyethylene (PETH) jacket.

Volt: The standard unit of electromotive force
or electrical pressure. One volt is the
amount of pressure that will cause one
ampere of current to flow through one ohm
of resistance.

Stranding: The manufacturing process by which
cable components are assembled around a
central piece, forming a round core.

Voltage Rating: The highest voltage that may be
continuously applied to a wire in conformance
with standards or specifications.

Tank Test: A voltage dielectric test in which the
wire or cable test sample is submerged in
water and voltage is applied between the
conductor and water as ground.

VW-1: A test used by Underwriters Laboratories
to classify wires and cables with regard
to their resistance to burning. (Formerly
designated as FR-1.)

Temperature Rating: The maximum temperature
at which the insulating material may be
used in continuous operation without loss
of its basic properties.

Wall Thickness: A term expressing the thickness
of a layer of applied insulation or jacket.

Tensile Strength: A term denoting the greatest
longitudinal tensile stress a substance can
bear without tearing apart or rupturing.
Thermoplastic: Material that will resoften and
distort from its formed shape by heating
above a critical temperature peculiar to
the material.
Tinned Wire: Copper wire that has been
coated with a layer of tin or solder to
simplify soldering.

Wide Area Network (WAN): A network spanning
a broad geographical area, providing data
communications between computers and
peripherals, and switching equipment.
Wire: 1) A single piece of slender, flexible metal,
ranging in approximate size from a piece
that is difficult to bend by hand to a fine
thread. 2) Several wires as in (1) twisted
together.
