A cable having one or more conductors and a jacket is provided, where the jacket is made from a composition including a polymer blend of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), and Polyvinylbutyral (PVB), with the ratio of PVB to TPU being less than 50% PVB by weight of the total weight of the polymer blend, the remainder of the polymer blend being TPU.

The present invention relates to a wire coating composition comprising an infrared radiation sensitive compound resulting in the conversion of absorbed light energy into heat and a matrix with a varnish that responses either chemically or physically upon treatment with heat, to a method of producing an enameled wire and to the use thereof.

A wire or cable comprising an insulation layer and a semiconducting shield layer over and in contact with the insulation layer and strippable from the insulation layer, the second semiconducting shield layer made from the composition comprising: (A) 45-52% ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) comprising 28-45% units derived from vinyl acetate (VA) based on the weight of the EVA; (B) 30-45% carbon black having (1) 80-1 15 milliliters per 100 grams (ml/100 g) DBP absorption value, (2) 30-60 milligrams per gram (mg/g) iodine absorption (I2NO), and (3) 0.3-0.6 grams/milliliter (g/ml) apparent density; (C) 5-20% acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) comprising 25-55% units derived from acrylonitrile (AN) based on the weight of the NBR; (D) 0.2-2% phenolic antioxidant; and (E) 0.5-2% organic peroxide.

Submersible transducer includes a transducer housing configured to be submerged within an aqueous liquid and a pressure sensor operable to obtain data for determining a pressure of the aqueous liquid. The pressure sensor may be disposed within the transducer housing. The submersible transducer also includes a submersible cable having an electrical conductor and a venting tube operably coupled to the pressure sensor. The pressure sensor uses an atmospheric pressure of an external environment that is detected through the venting tube to determine the pressure of the aqueous liquid. The submersible cable also includes a cable jacket and an inner layer that is surrounded by the cable jacket. The inner layer surrounds the electrical conductor and the venting tube. The inner layer includes a non-hygroscopic polymer that is more resistant to absorbing the aqueous liquid than the cable jacket.

A multi-core cable includes two power wires, and a twisted pair signal wire having two twisted signal wires. The power wires and the twisted pair signal wire are twisted together to form a core, and the power wires include a first conductor, and a first insulating layer covering the first conductor. The signal wires include a second conductor, and a second insulating layer covering the second conductor, and a Young's modulus of the second insulating layer is greater than or equal to 700 MPa and less than or equal to 1600 M Pa.

Polymeric compositions comprising a blend of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) with ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA), and optionally with a carbon black and/or one or more other additives, where the polymeric compositions have certain melt-index and vinyl-acetate-content ranges to improve melt strength and processability. Such polymeric compositions can be employed in manufacturing coated conductors, such as fiber optic cables.

An electrical lead has a lead core composed of a plurality of individual conduction elements and surrounded by a jacket of multiple plies that are formed by extrusion. An inner ply is formed of a swellable material. An outer ply surrounds the inner ply. Upon penetration of moisture, the swellable material of the inner ply swells up and fills out interstices between the conduction elements.

A polymer composition that comprises an olefinic polymer, a flame retardant that includes a halogen-free mineral filler, and a compatibilizing agent is provided. The halogen-free mineral filler constitutes from about 20 wt. % to about 80 wt. % of the composition. The composition may exhibit a degree of water uptake of about 5 wt. % or less after being immersed in water for seven days at a temperature of 23 C.
