What are the low temperature properties of Superior Essex filled OSP copper cable?
The current designs and materials utilized in the manufacture of Superior Essex filled OSP copper cables, including our OSP Broadband (Cat 5e, Cat 6) designs, are suitable for use at temperatures of -55° C. Excellent cold temperature performance is often taken for granted by users of Superior Essex cable products but it should not be overlooked if one is considering cable products from other manufacturers. Industry standards specify cold performance at -20° C, a temperature which is well above the low temperature in many parts of the Northern states and Canada. A failure of a cable that merely meets industry standards would manifest itself as a jacket/insulation crack or a voltage failure, both of which could result in service problems.
