14 GOF Installation Cables Sheathing material / B FireRes The FireRes sheathing material is a high performance state-of-the-art LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material. The FireRes material is primary used where a very high resistance towards fire is needed. While the FireRes material implement improvements of Draka Comteq s well known multi purpose concept regarding performance in case of fire, the resistance towards the outdoor environment is retained: The FireRes material is UV resistant, and water resistant. The UV resistance is achieved using a selected type of hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS). Thus a long lifetime even in open air is assured. The FireRes material is non- toxic, non-corrosive and do not contain any halogens that could cause damage to equipment or the environments. Further in case of fire it generates only extremely low amount of smoke. The FireRes material fulfils all relevant international and national standards for this class of sheathing material, among them: EN :2002 VDE 0207 part 24, type HM2 BS type LTS1 and LTS2 Cables made with our FireRes sheathing material is self-extinguishing and generally fulfils IEC C. The FireRes material is used as part of the A.F.R. Technology to achieve fire resistance for PyroSafe cables.

15 GOF Installation Cables Sheathing material / B FireBur The FireBur Low Smoke Zero Halogen material is produced from PE-copolymers and silicon elastomer with chalk as fire retardant filler. This sheathing compound is used for cables that are installed as indoor/outdoor cables, due to its very low water absorption. The cables made with this compound can be used outdoor installation in ducts (also flooded with water) as well as for direct burial. The FireBur sheathing material is UV stabilized using a selected type of hindered amine light stabilizer (HALS). Thus a long lifetime even in the open air is assured.

16 GOF Installation Cables Sheathing material / B LLDPE, black This is the alternative PE material for cables for outdoor use. The material is UV stabilised using 2.5 ± 0.5 % carbon black and have excellent weathering resistance. The LLDPE material is used for UNI tube cables and when specified according to customer request. The LDPE meets the requirements of a number of national and international standards: ISO 1872-PE, KCHL, 18 - D003 ANSI C 8.35 ASTM D : Type I, Class C, Cat 5, grade J3, E5 BS C, TS1 DIN VDE 0207 type 2YM2 NF C The LLDPE fulfils the requirements of IEC (test according to IEC 811) MDDPE, black This is the standard sheathing material for cables for outdoor use. The material is UV stabilised with using 2.5 ± 0.5 % carbon black. It has excellent weathering resistance. The MDPE has very good physical properties such as: Excellent abrasion resistance, high hardness, low dielectric constant and outstanding oxidation resistance. Compared with HDPE the MDPE has better resistance to stress cracking. Compared to LDPE the MDPE has a higher strength. The MDPE meets the requirements of a number of national and international standards: ISO 1872-PE, KGC, 40 - G200, C ASTM D : Type II, Class C, Cat 5 BS C The MDPE fulfils the requirements of IEC (test according to IEC 811) Corrugated steel tape armouring Corrugated steel tape armouring is used as rodent protection and as additional mechanical protection for outdoor cables for direct burial and for installation along railways and into sewers where the risk for rodent attack is high. Cables with corrugated steel tape and LDPE or HDPE jacket fulfils the requirements of: REA PE 90 (USA) As well as the requirements of several Railway administrations: Among them Banestyrelsen (Denmark), SNCF and RATP (France), BR (Great Britain). The steel tape is corrosion protected with a layer of chromium on both sides. The steel tape fulfils the requirements of: EN : 1989 ASTM A The standard thickness of the steel tape is mm ± mm. Upon request tapes with a thickness of mm may be supplied. There is a polymer film on both sides of the steel tape. The nominal thickness of the polymer film is mm. The purpose of the polymer film is to ensure good adhesion between tape and outer (LDPE or MDPE) jacket and make the bonding of the overlap possible. The adhesion between steel tape and a polyethylene sheath is fulfilling the requirements of REA PE-90. A common trade name for this material is Zetabon. The steel tape is corrugated and folded over the cable core or an inner jacket. On top of the steel tape is extruded an outer polymer heath. Aramid yarns Aramid yarns are used as strength member for cables with tight buffered fibres, some cables with semi tight fibres and for UNI tube cable. Aramid yarns are also used in loose tube cables with central strength member as additional tensile reinforcement. There are no international or national standards for Aramid yarns. The most common trade names for Aramid yarns are Twaron and Kevlar. The tensile strength requirement for the cable determines the amount of Aramid yarn to be used. Glass yarns Glass yarns in the form of roving s are used as alternative strength member for UNI tube cables. Glass yarns are also used in loose tube cables with central strength member as additional tensile reinforcement. Thick layers of glaziers have appeared to be a good rodent protection scheme, however not as effective as steel armouring. VWL v2.0 GOF Indoor and Outdoor Cables - Changes without prior notice
