2 General information
2.1 General cable description
These cables are designed for outdoor telecommunication networks, therefore they are water-tight cables
Since these cables are specifically designed for new, various existing and emerging,telecommunication applications that involve high frequency spectrum up to 30 MHz, they include an overall screen to improve the electromagnetic behaviour.
These cables contain from one pair up to 1 50 pairs that can be either in pairs or quads.
