12-305-07 Superior Essex ADP S

ADP S is a PVC-jacketed, aerial service wire designed for use in extending communications service (voice, data and/or video) to a subscriber premises from the distribution cable terminal. This product has additional capabilities over the standard ADP NMS product because it contains a shielding screen. The core is wrapped within a metallic foil to provide shielding from interference and thus provide high-quality digital transmission. In addition, a drain wire runs longitudinally the length of the wire to drain off Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). Without shielding and a drain wire, noise can be introduced into circuits from high voltage AC power lines, machinery with motors, x-ray systems, TV sets and AM radio stations. Shielding also lessens the chance that DSL or other high frequency transmission protocols will interfere with other signals on adjacent cables. Each conductor is insulated with solid polyolefin in distinctive colors. The insulation of the tip conductor is marked with a stripe of the mating ring insulation color to reduce the possibility of splitting pairs during installation. A black, weather resistant, polyvinyl chloride jacket is extruded over the yarns and rip cord to protect the core from mechanical damage, degradation by sunlight and ingress of moisture. The jacket bonds to the fiberglass strength members to provide the required strength characteristics.
