Two insulated conductors are uniformly twisted together to form each pair.
The aluminium/polyester screen surrounds the complete laid-up assembly.
The standard sheath is thermoplastic LSZH; a thermosetting LSZH compound is offered as an option.
Separate 300V and 500V constructions have their own electrical and dimensional data.
The related individual and overall screened cable adds a foil screen around each pair.
