SERVICE ENTRANCE CABLE (SEU) Service Entrance Un-armored Applications: For above ground electrical service use from the electric utility power service point to the meter or service entrance panel. Construction: Conductors are parallel with a stranded ground wire applied helically over the insulated conductors. For 10, 8,and 6 AWG-sized cables, the bare ground (solid for 10 AWG and stranded for 8 & 6 AWG), is laid parallel with the insulated conductors. A glass-reinforced tape is applied overall. Insulation: High dielectric strength, heat- and moisture-resistant, black or colored Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) rated for continuous use at 90°C dry, 75°C wet.

BARE COPPER Applications: Bare Copper conductors are primarily used for grounding purposes. Copper conductors are used in overhead electrical transmission and distribution systems for grounding electrical systems, and where high-conductivity and flexibility are required for equipment and circuit grounding. Construction : Bare copper conductors are normally annealed (soft) copper, solid or stranded Un-insulated and uncoated Features: Highest conductivity per unit area of all common commercial metals. Excellent corrosion resistance. Flexible; easily worked and formed into place. Good fatigue resistance; not subject to breaks due to nicks or cuts when terminating. Totally recyclable with high scrap value.

CAT5/5E Category 5 Patch Cable Cat 5, is a twisted pair (4 pairs) cable type designed for high signal integrity. Many such cables are unshielded (UTP) but some are shielded (STP). Category 5 has been superseded by the Category 5e specification. This type of cable is often used in structured cabling for computer networks such as Ethernet and basic voice services. Performance characteristics and test requirements for frequencies of up to 100 MHz. Cat 5e Patch Cable An enhanced version of Cat 5 that adds specifications for far end crosstalk. Very similar to Cat 5, it has improved specifications for crosstalk and attenuation.

SHIELDED v. UNSHIELDED A shielded cable is an electrical cable of one or more insulated conductors enclosed by a common conductive layer. The shield may be composed of braided strands of copper (or other metal), a non- braided spiral winding of copper tape, or a layer of conducting polymer. Usually, this shield is covered with a jacket. The shield reduces electrical noise from affecting the signals, and to reduce electromagnetic radiation that may interfere with other devices. The shield minimizes noise from other electrical sources. What does this mean???

Servo Motor Cable Allen Bradley Bulletin 2090 Job specific and needs to be sized accordingly. Part number configuration and quoting should be referred to Amy Farris. Brush Controls/Marathon (BCI) and Flex Cable (FLX) Highly flexible, although Allen Bradley is now entering the high-flex market As with the Allen Bradley 2090, best to refer requests to Amy Farris since servo motor cables are job specific.
