Aquaseal Water Resistant Cables Protect Your Application from the Elements

16774-Aquaseal Technical Bulletin-1 WITH EDITS_Page_1_Image_0001

Whether your application has low voltage cables running from one building to another in a wet location (direct-buried) or conduit running between locations in a single building (in-conduit), Aquaseal® Water Resistant Cables assure the integrity of your signals because they are designed with a 2-ply water blocking tape that increases cable life, especially in outdoor environments.

Direct Burial Cables require the conductor to be a minimum of 18AWG to pass the UL Crush Test and are indoor/outdoor-rated for Access Control, Audio, Video (CCTV & CATV Systems), Communication (Intercom) and Power-Limited Fire Alarm Applications.

In addition to 2-ply tape for exceptional swell height, key features and benefits of Aquaseal include:

12 mm Total Swell (10 mm in first minute)
Maximum Tape for More Protection
Super Absorbent Polymer (SAP) to Absorb & Trap Water

Aquaseal products are manufactured to have a premium-grade jacket compound and are flame-retardant, resistant to sunlight and water, and are constructed to resist abrasion and crushing. This durability allows Aquaseal power limited water-resistant cables to be direct-buried, providing audio, video or other communication signals that travel from one building to another.

These water-resistant cables, which have set the standard for indoor/outdoor signal protection since 1995, are available in more than 40 varieties and meet UL Standards 444 and 13 and have passed the EIA/TIA-455-82B Fluid Penetration Test for Fluid-Blocked Fiber Optic Cable.
