Construction
Stranded Aluminum alloy (AA8000) compacted conductor, Class B stranding, per ASTM B 801. Flame retardant thermoset crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) insulation. Grounding is one bare aluminum alloy (AA-8000)compacted stranded conductor. Phase and grounding conductors are cabled together with binder tape. Aluminum interlocked armor, applied over the binder tape and a longitudinal marker tape, for ID, when un-jacketed. Black sunlight resistant and flame retardant polyvinyl chloride (PVC) compound jacket.
