Cable Cross-section (only for reference, not to scale) |

Cable Description |
Loose tube construction, tubes jelly filled, elements (tubes and fillers when necessary) laid up around metallic central strength member, polyester yarns used to bind the cable core, filling compound filled in the apertures of the cable core, two ripcords, steel tape armored, then PE outer sheath.
