Superior Essex Category 5 BW CF Burial Application ETPR Insulated OSP Copper Wire (5500')

Category 5 BW CF Burial Application ETPR Insulated OSP Copper Wire is designed for direct burial applications. It is filled with an ETPR compound which is chemically and electrically compatible with all other materials in the wire. The compound completely coats each insulated conductor and fills the air space between conductors.

Copper Wire Features:

• BW CF can also be used for distribution circuits and service entrance wires
• Each conductor is insulated with solid polyolefin in distinctive colors
• The insulation of the tip conductor is marked with a stripe of the mating ring insulation color to reduce the possibility of splitting pairs during installation
• Black, weather-resistant polyvinyl-chloride jacket is extruded over the shield and rip cord to protect the core from minor mechanical damage, degradation by sunlight, and ingress of moisture and water
• Non-hygroscopic core wrap: Protects the core and provides improved mechanical and electrical characteristics
• Adhesive compound floods outer surface of shield: Provides a moisture barrier and inhibits corrosion
• Rip cord: Facilitates jacket removal and is applied over shield and beneath jacket
• Conductor: Solid annealed copper
• Core Assembly: Individual conductor dimensions are tightly controlled to limit resistance unbalance of twisted pairs; pair twist lays are varied to minimize cross talk and meet capacitance unbalance limits
• Core Covering: Non-hygroscopic core wrap
• Filling Compound: Wire core is completely filled with 80°C ETPR compound, filling the air spaces between insulated conductors
• Shield: Corrugated copper clad steel or bronze tape longitudinally applied over the core wrap
• Jacket: Weather-resistant PVC
• Pair Count - 5 pair
• AWG (mm) - 22 (0.64)
• Nominal Diameter: 0.33"
• Minimum Order Quantity from the Manufacturer: 5500' - Sold as a 5500’ Reel
• RoHS Compliant
