Abstract
A cable capable of communicating large amounts of data while withstanding high heat conditions without the need for PFAS substances. The cable includes conductors encompassed by insulation. The insulation may include a non-PFAS fluoropolymer or materials such as polymethyl pentene or crosslinked polyalkene. The insulation may be encapsulated by a bedding layer, a shielding layer, a braid layer and a jacket. The insulation is designed to withstand temperatures of at least 125 degrees Celsius to ensure a high throughput of data even in demanding conditions.
