** Alternative concentric neutral constructions, with equivalent conductivity, may be supplied.
+ When pulling the cable, the minimum bending radius should be at least 1.5 times the above recommended value in order to limit the sidewall bearing pressure (SWBP) to
2,000 lb./ft. This limit should be reduced to 1,500 lb./ft. when the jacket is not applied tightly to the cable core.
