4.1 SINGLE TAPE & BRAID
4.1.1 LAMINATFI) SHIFIJ)INC TAPE LST)
4.1.1.1 The first outer conductor shall be a Laminated Shielding Tape (LST) bonded to the dielectric and to iselF at the tape
overlap.
4.1.1.2 The 1ST shall overlap the dielectric circumference by 18 percent minimum on the finished product.
4.1.1.3 The LST shall be applied longitudinally to the dielectric and shall be free of creases or twists over the entire length.
4.1.1.4 The average core diameter shall be determined by
measuring the diameter over the LST in the finished
product as described in ANSLISCTE 31 2(X)1 (formerly IPS 1? 018). Average Core Diameter — 0.107 inches ± 0.(N)3
inches
4.1.1.5 Core ovality shall be determined by subtracting the
measured minimum diameter front the measured maximum diameter over the [ST in the finished product. Core Ovality Maximum —0.0 10 inches (0.254mm)
4.1.2 BR All) WIRE
4.1.2.1 The braiding wire shall be either a round aluminum wire using an aluminum alloy of 5056, 5154, 51 54A. or 5954 (ANSI/SCTE 74 2003 (formerly IPS SP (X)l)) or tin copper wire consisting of 34 AWG (0.0063±0,0003 inches) or 36 AWG (005±0.0003 inches).
4.1.2.2 Minimum tensile strength for individual strands of aluminum alloy braid wire shall be 43.000 psi.
4.1.2.3 Minimum elongation for individual strands of aluminum alloy braid wire shall be 3 percent.
4.1.2.4 Braid coverage over the first outer conductor shall be a minimum of 64 percent for single tape and braid products. The braid coverage shall he detennined by ANSI/SCTh 51 2002 (formerly IPS TP 116).

4.2.3 OUTER LAMINATED SHIELDING TAPE (LSTI
4.2.3.1 An outer (LST) shall be applied over the Section 4.2.2 braid
wires
4.2.3.2 The outer LST shall he a laminated shielding tape constructed of Iwo aluminum foils laminated to a central strength member with or without a bonding resin on one side.
4.2.3.3 The outer LST shall be applied longitudinally over the second outer conductor with an overlap of 18% minimum to 35% maximum and shall be free of creases. twists and discontinuities over the entire length.
