Graphite Coated Cables - Beware!

"Graphite coated’ cables are not simply standard cables with graphite spread onto the outer sheath. ‘Graphite coated’ cables are required to undergo a sheath integrity test and are designed with material and radials specifically for that purpose. It should be noted that testing the sheath integrity on a cable not designed for that purpose will very likely cause serious damage to the cable. This brief provides some background to the requirements and techniques applicable to this type of cable.
