Provides specific requirements for Polyethylene PE compounds to be used for the insulation of coaxial cables.

This Part 2-37 of EN 50290 gives specific requirements for Polyethylene (PE) compounds to be used for the insulation of coaxial cables. The standard includes Low Density (LD), Medium Density (MD) and High Density (HD) Polyethylene compounds.

It is to be read in conjunction with EN 50290-2-20 , EN 50117 and other applicable product standards.

Using raw material and type test data as outlined in this standard, the raw material supplier will have sufficient data to demonstrate compliance and warrant that the material is suitable for the specified application.
