A-02YSF(L)2Y Outdoor Telephone Cable

A-02YSF(L)2Y Cable for Outdoor Telephone Networks

A-02YSF(L)2Y cable, identified by ETK Kablo as KPDF-AP, is a jelly-filled copper telephone cable for external communication networks. It combines foam-skin polyethylene insulation, an aluminium tape screen and a black UV-resistant PE outer sheath.

Choose this construction when the network specification calls for a filled outdoor telephone cable. Browse our outdoor telephone cable range to compare alternatives, or request a quotation for A-02YSF(L)2Y.

A-02YSF(L)2Y Cable Sizes and Pair Counts

The table below lists selected configurations. For dimensions, weights, packing lengths and part numbers, consult the Types section on this page.

Telephone cable sizes use conductor diameter in millimetres. For example, 6 × 2 × 0.5 mm describes six pairs, twelve conductors in total, with a conductor diameter of 0.5 mm. The final value is not a cross-section in mm². Specify pair or star-quad construction separately when ordering.

Cable Size	Pair Count	Conductor Diameter (mm)
A-02YSF(L)2Y 2 × 2 × 0.5	2	0.5
A-02YSF(L)2Y 6 × 2 × 0.5	6	0.5
A-02YSF(L)2Y 20 × 2 × 0.5	20	0.5
A-02YSF(L)2Y 25 × 2 × 0.5	25	0.5
A-02YSF(L)2Y 50 × 2 × 0.5	50	0.5
A-02YSF(L)2Y 100 × 2 × 0.5	100	0.5
A-02YSF(L)2Y 1200 × 2 × 0.5	1200	0.5
A-02YSF(L)2Y 10 × 2 × 0.8	10	0.8

For a 20 pair, 25 pair, 50 pair or 100 pair telephone cable enquiry, include the conductor diameter as well as the pair count. The same applies to a 1200 pair telephone cable: diameter and core arrangement affect dimensions, weight and packing length.

Jelly Filling and Screening

The filling compound occupies spaces within the cable core, with additional filling between the wrapping and screen. This helps restrict water movement through the cable. Meanwhile, the aluminium screen provides an overall electrical screen; it is not steel armour.

Follow the network specification for screen continuity, bonding and joint sealing. Suitable closures and termination practices remain important even when the cable contains filling compound.

Selecting Cable for Underground and External Routes

For an underground telephone cable project, describe whether the route uses ducts or direct burial. Confirm the selected construction against soil conditions, water exposure, pulling requirements and mechanical risks before ordering.

For aerial spans, review A-02YSF(L)T2Y with a steel messenger. If the specification requires an unfilled construction, compare A-02YS(L)2Y. These alternatives address different installation requirements and should not be treated as interchangeable.

Frequently Asked Questions About A-02YSF(L)2Y

What is KPDF-AP?

KPDF-AP is the product code ETK Kablo lists for this A-02YSF(L)2Y cable. Use both references in your enquiry, together with the required size.

Does 25 pair mean 25 conductors?

No. Each pair contains two conductors, so 25 pairs contain 50 conductors. Pair count and conductor count describe different quantities.

Are pair and star-quad constructions identical?

No. A pair contains two conductors, whereas a star quad groups four conductors. The Types section distinguishes these constructions. Specify the required arrangement rather than relying on pair count alone.

Is this an armoured telephone cable?

No steel armour appears in this product’s listed construction. If the project requires armour, send the mechanical-protection specification so ETK Kablo can select an appropriate design.

Can I use it instead of a J-Y(St)Y or PTT cable?

Do not assume equivalence from a similar conductor size. Compare insulation, filling, screening, electrical characteristics and the applicable operator specification before approving a substitution.
