Electrical & Mechanical Standards

Parameter Performance Index
Shielding Density >= 85 percent
Insulation Resistance >= 1000 to 5000 MOhm-km (based on material)
Transfer Impedance (30MHz) <= 0.01 Ohm/m (Double Shielded variants)
Conductor Resistance Compliant with standard AWG/mm2 ratings
Mechanical Integrity No jacket cracking or water leakage after high-pressure immersion tests.

Construction Layers (Typical)

  1. Center Conductor: High-strand bare or tinned copper.
  2. Insulation: Specialized polymers for pressure stability.
  3. Internal Fillers: Watertight compounds to prevent longitudinal water migration.
  4. Shielding: Metal braid for signal integrity.
  5. Outer Jacket: PUR or CSPE for high abrasion and chemical resistance.
