Each cable consists of 8 colour coded polyethelene insulated conductors. These are twisted together to form 4 pairs with varying lay lengths. These pairs, together with a strong nylon rip cord are jacketed in a heat resistant PVC material. The printing detail on the sheath, includes the cables part number, specification details and a unique 305 metre marking within each box supplied, allowing for quick and easy measurement of cable installed and the amount remaining within the box. A choice of jacket colour enables departmental or application identification where necessary.
