PE insulated telephone parallel drop wire (0.8mm) is a durable, weather-resistant communication cable designed for aerial drops from distribution points to subscriber buildings. It features solid copper conductors and a UV-resistant polyethylene jacket, making it ideal for outdoor use in various environmental conditions. Its parallel configuration and defined shape (oval or dumbbell) help maintain conductor spacing and simplify installation.
Applications
This telephone drop wire is primarily used to extend telephone circuits from distribution lines to subscriber premises via aerial installations. It is suitable for residential and commercial telecom setups, especially where mechanical durability, weather resistance, and ease of separation between conductors are important.
Construction
Conductor: Electrolytic solid copper wire (compliant with TS 2, IEC 28, ASTM B3).
Insulation / Outer Jacket: UV-resistant linear low-density or medium-density black polyethylene (LLDPE/MDPE), compliant with ASTM D1248.
Shape: Oval or dumbbell profile to aid conductor separation and mechanical stability during aerial installation.
