| Conductor | Round wire of annealed high conductivity copper |
| Insulation | Each conductor is insulated with solid PE |
| Quadding | Four insulated conductors stranded to form a star quad. |
| Laying Up | The quads are assembled to form a symmetrical core with a right hand lay. Polyethylene strings of required diameter may be used as fillers, if necessary. |
| Filling & core wrapping | The cable core is fully filled with water -resistant compound and wrapped with polyethylene. |
| Moisture Barrier | Aluminium tape coated with co-polymer on both sides is applied longitudinally over the cable core with a specified overlap. |
| Sheathing | The screened cable core is sheathed with black polythene compound as per BS:6234. |
| Screening & protection | The cable core with inner sheath is surrounded by a reasonably close fitted screen of Aluminium in the form of wires/ strips . The aluminium screen is wrapped with a single layer of woven tape impregnated with Barium chromate with overlap. |
| Intermediate sheath | Further protection of screening is provided by extruded PVC/PE sheath over screening. |
| Armouring | Armouring with two applications of Galvanized steel tape each applied helically with a specified gap. |
| Jacketing | The armoured cable is finally jacketed with black PVC/PE compound. |
