Abstract
Cables include a conductor core and an insulative wall. The insulative wall is generally ultra-thin, and may have a thickness of from about 0.10 mm to about 0.44 mm. The insulative wall includes a flame retardant additive and is essentially halogen free.
Claims25
A cable comprising:
- a conductor core;
- and
- an insulative wall, the insulative wall having a thickness of from about 0.10 mm to about 0.44 mm,
- wherein when the cable is tested using the Thin Insulative Wall Flame Propagation Test, a combustion flame of the insulative wall extinguishes within 70 seconds and a minimum of 50 mm of insulative wall at a top of a test sample remains unburned,
- and wherein at least 20% by weight of the total composition of the insulative wall is a thermoplastic selected from the group consisting of polyesters, polyamides, polylactic acids, polyolefins, and blends thereof.
