What governing standard and construction define CW1128 (CW1128 Jelly-Filled Cellular-PE Insulated External Copper Telecom Cable)?

CW1128 (CW1128 Jelly-Filled Cellular-PE Insulated External Copper Telecom Cable) is manufactured in accordance with BT CW1128 / BS EN 50288 for 150 V DC service over -30 °C to +70 °C. Its 4-layer construction comprises stranded copper conductor, cellular hdpe core insulation, polyester tape and petrolatum filling, pe outer sheath.

What is the minimum bending radius and installation temperature for CW1128?

The minimum installed bending radius for CW1128 is 10 × OD across its continuous operating temperature range of -30 °C to +70 °C, ensuring mechanical and dielectric stability without conductor or insulation strain.

How are the concentric layers of CW1128 arranged from inside to outside?

From inside to outside, the construction sequence is: (01) Stranded copper conductor (High-conductivity copper conductor per BT CW1128 / BS EN 50288); (02) Cellular HDPE core insulation (Extruded Cellular HDPE dielectric (individual core / group layer)); (03) Polyester tape and petrolatum filling (Polyester tape and petrolatum filling (lapped tape)); (04) PE outer sheath (Extruded PE outer sheath protective layer (continuous layer)).

What factory test certificates are supplied with CW1128?

Every production drum or spool of CW1128 undergoes routine conductor DC resistance, dimensional and dielectric/integrity testing per BT CW1128 / BS EN 50288, and is delivered with an EN 10204 3.1 factory test certificate.
