A communication cable composition, and a wire and a cable coated with same. the communication cable composition comprises 0.1-5 parts by weight of an antioxidant and 0.1-5 parts by weight of a lubricant with respect to 100 parts by weight of at least one polypropylene resin selected from among a thermoplastic olefin, a polypropylene block copolymer, and a polypropylene homopolymer. It A communication cable resin composition according to present disclosure has excellent communication performance, heat resistance, oil resistance, and chemical resistance by using a base resin and an antioxidant, wherein various polypropylene resins are used alone or, as appropriate, in combinations as the base resin. An insulated wire and a communication cable coated with such a composition improves the stability of the cable by increasing chemical resistance and oil resistance. In addition, the insulated wire and the communication cable increase heat resistance to the UL 105° C. level.

The resin composition contains: a resin component containing an ethylene-(meth)acrylate ester copolymer and at least one of an ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer or ethylene-acrylate rubber; and a flame retardant, and the resin component is crosslinked. The tensile stress at 19% strain of the resin composition is 2.0 MPa or less, and the resin composition has heat resistance at 150° C. prescribed in JASO D624.
