5. PACKING AND DRUM
5.1 ZTT cables are coiled on bakelite, wooden or ironwood drum. During transportation, right tools
should be used to avoid damaging the package and to handle with ease. Cables should be protected
from moisture; kept away from high temperature and fire sparks; protected from over bending and
crushing; protected from mechanical stress and damage.

Note: The drum size & cable weight as above is estimated and final size & weight shall be confirmed
before shipment.

5.2 The color of cable marking is white. (The printing shall be carried out at interval of 1 meter on the
outer sheath of cable) The inner end of cable is then sealed with heat shrinkable end cap to prevent
ingress of water and is made available for testing. The outer end of cable is equipped with heat
shrinkable end cap. Outer sheath marking legend can be changed according to user’s requests.
