Superior Essex Cable 24 AWG BBDGe Product Code OSP Broadband BBDG Solid Annealed Copper Cable 04-001-55 Superior Essex Cheap Sale

BBDG is an Outside Plant (OSP) Broadband category cable. It is designed to provide an extension of the LAN beyond the premises or in situations where the NEC code requires an OSP-rated cable when it is in contact with earth, whether in a conduit or not. The cable consists of four (4) balanced twisted pairs surrounded by Superior Essex PFM™ gel that does not drip or flow, even in cell tower applications at elevated temperatures. The jacketed core is covered with dry block and a corrugated, copper-clad steel armor providing exceptional Alien Crosstalk (AXT) performance. The outer jacket is an OSP-grade black polyethylene for superior sunlight and abrasion resistance. This armored design is suitable for the following deployments: duct, underground conduit, tower, lashed aerial, direct burial or open trench.

The BBDG is available in a variety of performances including CAT 5e, CAT 6 and CAT 6A. An optional Aluminum Interlock Armor with overjacket is also available (not suitable for tower deployment).

Features:
• Transmission performance characterized to 500 MHz for CAT 6A/6 and 350 MHz for CAT 5e
• Corrugated, copper-clad steel armor
• Dry block between armor and inner jacket
• PFM gel-filled core construction
• OSP-grade black polyethylene jacket
• ColorTip® circuit identification system
• Aluminum interlock armored construction

Benefits:
• Assures ample overhead for reliable transmission in an OSP-rated cable allowing extension of the premises LAN
• Rugged shield provides protection against EMI/RFI and provides rodent resistance
• Prevents water ingress between armor and inner cable preventing damage to equipment
• Prevents intrusion of moisture and easily wipes clean during installation
• Outside plant rated cable for years of reliable performance
• Easily identifiable conductor mates even in low-light environments
• Protects against mechanical stresses
• Installs faster and easier than EMT conduit and conventional wire
