Communication Cable Jacketing

Through buildings, streets, cities, in the sea, underground, overhead, cables are used to convey communication channels around the world. 

Safety, reliability and longevity are of the highest importance.  As a cable jacket provides the outer protection of the cable, it is an essential component to provide system functionality through the cable lifetime. Choosing the right cable jacketing compound not only has a major influence on in-service performance, it can also have a significant impact on the total cost of cable systems including:

• cable production,
• transportation,
• handling,
• installation,
• operation,
• system maintainability.

Borstar® PE jacket ensures the most reliable communication cable systems

The key considerations when choosing cable jacketing compounds are cable production, cable installation and cable lifetime.  Borealis offers a broad range of Borstar jacketing compounds specially designed for communication cables.  Although desired properties can vary among applications, Borstar PE jacketing compounds are the best and most reliable choice because they:

• Allow highly efficient cable production with superior processability and consistent quality;
• Make cable installations easier through excellent abrasion & scratch resistance and surface hardness;
• Give a long cable lifetime as a result of substantially reduced shrinkage, excellent environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR), UV resistance, low water permeability, and resistance to heat deformation and termites.
