herein.
3.1.1 APPROVED MANUFACTURERS
Cable purchased under this specification shall be of the manufacturers listed in Appendix A.
Manufacturers not listed may submit written proposals demonstrating compliance with these
specifications for consideration of addition to the accepted manufacturer list prior to the next
request for bids. Acceptability of the listed manufacturer's cable will not be determined solely by
inclusion in this list. Listed manufacturers must satisfy all requirements of this specification to be
acceptable.
3.2 SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS
3.2.1 CABLE ASSEMBLY
When multi-conductor cable is required the assembly shall be as follows:
• Two conductor cables shall consist of two black insulated single conductors duplexed. The
length of lay shall not be less than 30 nor more than 60 times the insulated conductor
diameter.
• Three conductor cables shall consist of two black phases and one yellow or yellow striped
neutral insulated single conductors triplexed. The length of lay shall not be less than 35 nor
more than 60 times the larger single insulated conductor diameter.
• Four conductor cables shall consist of three black phases and one yellow or yellow striped
neutral insulated single conductors quadruplexed. The length of lay shall not be less than 40
nor more than 60 times the larger single insulated conductor diameter.
3.2.2 CONDUCTOR
The conductor shall be "EC" grade aluminum, compressed or compact stranding, in applicable
sizes, as defined in Table 1. Stranding shall be in accordance with ICEA S-66-524 Part 2. Tensile

cable sizes purchased under this specification shall be in accordance with Table 1.
3.2.3 INSULATION
Insulation shall be extruded cross-linked polyethylene (XLP) applied as an integral insulation-jacket
in accordance with ICEA S-66-524. In triplexed assemblies, phased conductors shall be black and
neutral conductor shall be either solid yellow or have three (3) equally spaced extruded yellow
stripes. Minimum insulation thickness at any point shall be not less than 90 percent of the
minimum average thickness values shown in Table 1. The insulation shall be applied in a manner
which prevents inclusions of insulation in the interstices of the conductor. If a mylar separator is
used, it must be opaque. Insulation properties shall be as required by ICEA S-66-524 and the
following paragraphs.
3.2.3.1 PHYSICAL AND AGEING REQUIREMENTS
