Materials:
0.57 mm (23 AWG), bare copper wire insulated with FEP (Plenum) or PE
(polyethylene). Two insulated conductors twisted together with varying lays to
form a pair and four pairs laid up to form the basic unit. The cable is shielded
with an overall polyester/aluminum foil with stranded tinned copper drain
wire and jacketed in flame-retardant PVC.
