Described herein are foamable compositions and methods of making foamed compositions. The foamable composition comprises at least one polymer and a foaming agent. The foaming agent comprises a talc or a talc derivative. The polymers described herein comprise a substantially non-halogenated polymer. One or more additives are added to render the compositions flame retardant and/or smoke suppressant. Also described are Power over Ethernet (PoE) cables, having at least one electrical conduit comprising an electrically conductive core, an insulation that at least partially surrounds said electrically conductive core and a polymeric separator extending from a proximal end to a distal end and having at least one channel adapted for receiving the at least one electrical conduit. The PoE cables are capable of carrying about 1 watt to about 200 watts of power.

Compositions for compounding, extrusion and melt processing of foamable and cellular halogen-free polymers

In some aspects, polymeric yarns and communications cables incorporating the same are provided herein. Additionally, in some aspects, methods of producing polymeric yarns and communications cables incorporating the same are provided.

Polymeric yarns for use in communications cables and methods for producing the same

Compositions, devices, and methods for providing shielding communications cables are provided. In some embodiments, compositions including electrically conductive elements are disclosed. In other embodiments, cable separators, tapes, and nonwoven materials including various electrically conductive elements are disclosed.

Compositions, methods, and devices providing shielding in communications cables

The invention provides a composite wrapping and shielding tape for use in cable manufacture. Embodiments of the composite tape comprise a single tape configuration to separate and shield individual pairs of insulated conductors housed within a cable such as a high-speed data communications cable. The single tape configurations of the invention are multifolded and assembled from foil/film laminates to form a plurality of longitudinal channels or grooves to accommodate one or more pairs of insulated conductors and a variety of cable designs. During cable manufacture, one or more pairs of insulated conductors is wrapped within a continuous shield provided by each longitudinal channel or groove, thereby separating and shielding each pair of insulated conductors and, hence, isolating or at least substantially reducing crosstalk between pairs of insulated conductors contained within the cable. The invention also provides methods for making a multifolded composite tape. The invention further provides a communications cable comprising a multifolded composite tape to separate and shield insulated conductors.
