Overview

Characteristics

Outer layer is sun resistant and withstands UV degradation.

Cross-linked or thermosetting covering system is designed to havea normal operation temperature up to 90 Deg C.

High Density outer covering resists abrasion when in contact with tree or other vegetation.

Outer XL-HDPE covering meets the track resistance qualification per ASTM D2303 with min test voltage of 2.5 kV and min time to track of 1000 minutes.

The outer track-resistant conductor covering prevents direct shorts and instantaneous flashovers due to conductor contact with tree limbs and other objects.

This feature results in fewer power outages and reduces the need for frequent tree trimming.

Cable outer covering is offered in both gray and black colors.
