OVERVIEW
This specification covers requirements for an underground shielded cable
designed to transmit and receive signals between irrigation satellites, central
computers, weather stations, and sensors. The cable utilizes stranded insulated
conductors, aluminum shield and drain wire to minimize electrical, magnetic, and
radio frequency interference. This cable is wrapped with stainless steel tape
armor for protection against rodents and for shielding of lightning and power surges. This armored version is only necessary for conditions that are rodent heavy, otherwise shield cable is sufficient for most applications.
The cable is listed by UL or ETL or CSA
