2 MC 2 COAXIAL CAB L E F E ATURES AND BENEFITS MC 2 a i r d i e l e c t r i c c o n s t ru c t i o n o ff e r s t h e b e s t b a l a n c e of important cable pro p e rt i e s such as attenuation, bending radius, loop resistance and ease of installation. The heart of the MC 2 advantage is its unique composite constru c t i o n. F U L LY BONDED DESIGN Superior Handling The fully bonded design of MC 2 allows for maximum flexibility during installation. No Moisture Ingre s s Sealed air chambers maintain a barrier to water m i g r a t i o n. Eliminates Pull-Outs The totally bonded design of MC 2 stops costly low t e m p e r a t u re center conductor pull outs and re d u c e s cold weather outages. SUPERIOR ELECTRICAL PERFORMANCE Lowest Attenuation MC 2 is the lowest loss cable available today. This is accomplished by a unique design which uses the perfect dielectric, AIR. Optimized for HFC Small diameter and handling ease combined with electrical perf o rmance of trunk cable makes MC 2 ideal for Hybrid-Fiber-Coax arc h i t e c t u res and passive distribution networks. Economical Upgrades / Rebuilds Low loss MC 2 allows increasing plant bandwidth while maintaining existing equipment locations. GHz Bandwidth Each reel of MC 2 is individually sweep tested for s t ructural re t u rn loss from 5-MHz through 1-G H z. EASE OF INSTA L L AT I O N Long Reel Lengths Continuous manufacturing process allows for longer reel lengths resulting in less waste during plant c o n s t ru c t i o n. Small Diameter Smaller size translates to lighter weight, less wind and ice load. MC 2 allows for more cables in underg round ducts and easier pulling during installation. Pulling Stre n g t h Superior pulling strength means longer pulling lengths, less construction damage, and easier install a t i o n. Connector Installation The MC 2 dielectric is designed for clean separation f rom the center conductor providing a simple and quick connector installation. COST SAV I N G S Fewer Electro n i c s Lower attenuation of MC 2 means fewer active e l e c t ro n i c s. Lower Power Consumption M o d e rn designs incorporating MC 2 use fewer e l e c t ro n i c s, less power, and fewer power supplies. Fewer Outages With fewer active electronics, outages will be reduced improving customer satisfaction and d e c reasing s e rvice calls. 1-1

3 MC 2 COAXIAL CAB L E M ATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION CENTER CONDUCTOR The center conductor consists of a copper clad electrical grade aluminum, nominal 10% copper by volume. Conforms to ASTM B-566 Class 10 A. CONDUCTOR ADHESIVE The center conductor is coated with a pro p r i e t a ry polymer adhesive to secure the dielectric discs to the center conductor. This adhesive ensures the disks are bonded to the center conductor to prevent moisture migration and center conductor pull-out. DIELECTRIC D I S C S The dielectric discs are injection molded from virgin polyethylene conforming to ASTM D DIELECTRIC T U B E The dielectric tube is extruded over the dielectric disks using a virgin polyethylene that conforms to the re q u i rements of ASTM D The tube and disc dielectric materials are fused together, forming hermetically sealed dielectric chambers. D I E L E C T R I C A D H E S I V E The dielectric tube adhesive is composed of a pro p r i e t a ry polymer adhesive that is c o - e x t ruded over the dielectric tube. The adhesive bonds the inner dielectric tube to the aluminum outer conductor, resulting in a strong, durable, composite stru c t u re. ALUMINUM OUTER CONDUCTOR The outer conductor is a continuously formed and welded electrical grade aluminum tube. In-process monitoring assures the weld integrity, proper aluminum thickness and correct physical dimensions. FLOODING COMPOUNDS A e r i a l - Flooding for aerial applications is an asphalt based non-flowing compound. A non-flowing compound is used to prevent dripping if damaged. This is available in Jacketed or Messengered pro d u c t s. B u r i a l - Flooding for Jacketed Burial products is a polyisobutylene compound that is formulated to cold flo w. This allows the cable to self heal if damaged during i n s t a l l a t i o n. J A C K E T A linear low density black polyethylene jacket conforming to ASTM D-1248 is used for all jackets. This gives the jacket good abrasion characteristics and a low c o e ffic i e n t of friction for ease of installation in ducts. Sequential marking in feet or meters is available on request. Markings are a white color and are clearly legible. A R M O R E D (Not shown) A heavy gauge steel corrugated armor is longitudinally applied over a completed Jacketed Burial cable. Flooding compound is applied between the tape and the cable and on the outside between the tape and the second jacket. The flo o d i n g compound used for the second jacket is asphalt based. M E S S E N G E R Integral messenger or self supporting wire is attached to the coaxial cable by an e x t ruded polyethylene jacket and connecting web. Messenger wire meets ASTM A-641 and is sized according to cable diameter and customer re q u i re m e n t s. S t a n d a rd wire sizes and break strengths are listed in the specifications section of this catalog. The size is a solid galvanized steel wire. The and sizes are galvanized steel stranded wire.

This patented, fully bonded design is featured in all MC 2 p roducts to eliminate moisture i n g ress and center conductor p u l l - o u t. Recommended for aerial installation where the environment is c o rrosive. Examples of these conditions would be urban a reas, coastal enviro n m e n t s, and heavily industrialized a re a s.the jacketed version is n o rmally unflooded, however it is a v a i l a b l e flo o d e d with a non-drip asphalt base flooding compound for extra p rotection of the outer aluminum conductor. Recommended for underg ro u n d applications in conduit or dire c t burial. This construction feature s a cold flowing flooding c o m p o u n d to self heal the cable jacket if damaged. This keeps water from contacting the outer aluminum c o n d u c t o r, t h e re b y p rotecting it from the u n d e rg round contaminants. Recommended for applications where an extra measure of mechanical protection is re q u i re d. This design feature s Jacketed Burial pro d u c t encased in a heavy gauge steel corrugated arm o r. Recommended for aerial applications where strand is not practical. Standard sizes of messenger are indicated in the specifications pages of this catalog. The messengered version is available both u n flooded, and flo o d e d. 1-3
