A process of making a cable having a conductor surrounded by at least one crosslinkable layer having a polymer composition. The polymer composition has (a) a polyolefin bearing hydrolysable silane groups and a silanol condensation catalyst compound.

A cable, in particular a power and/or telecommunication cable, has at least one elongated electrically conductive element, and at least one fire-resistant layer surrounding said elongated electrically conductive element. The fire-resistant layer is a ceramic layer in direct physical contact with the elongated electrically conductive element.

An apparatus and method for modifying an aspect of an exterior polymer material or polymer type material of a linear substrate with a fluid. The apparatus include a variable exposure gap within which the linear substrate is exposed to the fluid. The width of the exposure gap is varied with the speed of the linear substrate traversing the exposure gap to maintain a constant exposure time of the linear substrate with the modifying fluid.

Methods and systems for a dielectric material coated busbar are provided. In one example, a conductive material may be formed into a shape of a busbar and portions of the busbar may be selectively coated with a dielectric material which may be both electrically insulating and thermally conductive. The dielectric coated portions of the busbar may dissipate heat to a heat sink via a thermal interface material compressed on the busbar.
