Why is it that Bantam connectors/cables are common amongst T1 "outside plant" test gear yet Bantam cable manufacturers commonly spec their cables at 500 or 650VDC isolation. In fact, the three samples I've inspected measured 0.030" between Tip/Ring and Sleeve and when tested, breakdown occured at approximately 1000Vac. Is 0.030" clearance sufficient to withstand 1000Vrms reliably? I always though 0.040" was more appropriate. Section 6.0 of 60950 requires isolation between Tip/Ring and Ground. Can this be achieved reliably using Bantam connectors in "Outside Plant" applications? Is Weco 310 more appropriate for such applications? Dino Christy
