TELEPHONE & SWITCH BOARD CABLES

Communication is the life line of today's living. Which is based on telephone, i.e. land line & mobiles. For internal & external telephone wiring requirements of any building two types of telephone cables are installed.

1. PVC Insulated and Sheathed Telephone Cables
2. Polyethene Insulated Jelly filled Telephone Cables

Group – 1
0.50 mm conductor size unarmored & armored styles – pairs – 5 pairs, 10 pairs, 20 pairs, 50 pairs, 100 & 200 pairs.

Group – II
Unarmored & Armored type PIJF cables.
0.40 mm – 400 pairs & 800 Pairs.
0.50 mm – 400 pairs & 800 pairs.
0.63 mm – 200 pairs, 400 pairs, 800 pairs.
0.90 mm – 100 pairs, 200 pairs.

The cables, are manufactured using 99.9% EC grade tinned copper wire having better elongation & solderability & twist with standing capacity. Conductor is insulated with special grade PVC (Non-flammable) meant for telephone cables, to create proper adhesion between copper & PVC. Such cores twisted together, to form pairs, each pair having different colour identification, laid in such design to reduce the cross talk between pairs & creating imbalanced capacitance for better performance. Nylon rip cord provided & twisted pairs are then sheathed with superior grade steel grey colour.

Reference Standards - CW 1128, CW 1198, CW 1236, CW 1252, G/WIR, CUG / 01

The cables generally confirm to ITD - Specs- S/Ws - 113 C

The jellyfilled telephone cables, shortly known as PIJF cables are polyethylene insulated jelly filled cables. Generally recommended for underground use, these telephone cables have annealed bare copper, insulated by high density polyethylene compound. All pairs having different colour combination are twisted to form units. Units laid together form cable and than suitably armored with formed armoring by G.I. strips.
The cables are available up to 800 pairs in the following groups.
