Appendix B. Specifications for Cables
Any cable used to connect the RAU and junction box must meet the
following requirements.
Conductors
Requirements are listed in Table 13.
Insulation
The individual conductors shall be insulated with semirigid
insulation. The insulation shall be rated for at least 250 volts over a
temperature range of -540 to +85 degrees C. The insulation shall be
color coded so that each conductor is coded with a unique color.
Conductors 1 and 2 shall be insulated with black and red insulation,
respectively. Conductors 3 and 4 shall be insulated with blue and
white insulation, respectively.
Jacketing
The cable must be jacketed with a durable, all-weather jacket of
polyvinyl chloride or thermoplastic elastomer. The jacket must be
UV resistant and rated for a temperature range of -50 to +85 degrees
C. It must protect the cable from the elements and/or water
immersion. The jacketed cable shall be both durable and flexible.
Environmental Requirements
Requirements are listed in Table 14.
Performance Criteria
Cable shall not degrade after exposure to the following conditions.
The generic test data shall be made available on request by supplier.
Criteria are listed in Table 15.
