This preassembled aerial cable is composed of three shielded conductor cables banded together plus a messenger wire. The conductor, either aluminum or copper, is insulated with the company’s Permashield semiconducting layer and discharge resistant EPR system, which is used on the company’s cable designs up to 138kV. The cable’s insulation shield is a free-stripping design and the metallic shield consists of a 5-mil cupro-nickel or copper tape and/or copper concentric wires. The single conductor cable may also have an overall jacket. The entire twisted assembly is bound to a Copperweld messenger with a copper or optional stainless steel strap that can also be covered with a PVC or PE jacket.
