| Conductors | Stranded annealed tinned copper conductor. |
|---|---|
| Insulation | Ethylene Propylene Rubber (EPR). |
| Reinforcement | A layer of polyester braid, applied between the insulation and jacket for mechanical strength. |
| Jacket | Heavy-duty/extra-heavy-duty Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE), black. (Cables having a nominal outside diameter of more than 2.0 inches require extra-heavy-duty jackets.) |
Other jacket materials such as CSP/PCP/NBR/PVC are available upon request.
Two-layer jacket with reinforcing fibre between the two layers can be offered as an option.
