Fabrizio,
The .002" dielectric has the copper foil layers
flipped so the drum sides are facing each other.

Additionally, the dielectric is HiPot tested at
500 VDC to assure there is no imperfections or
manufacturing defects that would cause breakdown
or arcing on actual product. Telecordia (Bellcore)
has tested this and approved it. The laminate
suppliers
who build this (ZBC-2000 [TM]) have submitted samples
into UL and have had them tested. One of the pattern
limits for UL will list this .002" (min) dielectric
if both the material supplier and the PCB fabricator
has submitted samples for eval (recognition) from UL.
