Construction

  1. Conductor: Bare, soft drawn, annealed, flexible, rope-lay stranded copper per ASTM B3/B172
  2. Separator Tape: Non-conducting tape applied between the conductor and insulation to facilitate stripping
  3. Insulation: Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM). Color coded black, white, blue, red for sizes #4/0 and smaller and black, white, red, orange for sizes over 250 kcmil
  4. Ground Conductors: Four insulated, bare, soft drawn, annealed, rope stranded, flexible lay copper per ASTM B3/B172
  5. Fillers: Jute fillers applied as needed to round the cable core
  6. Reinforcement Binder: Reinforcing binder with twine applied over the core
  7. Jacket: Black, flame resistant, thermosetting Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE)
