Water tree resistant cables are disclosed. The cables include a water tree resistant insulation shield and water tree resistant conductor shield. The insulation layer can be free of any water tree retardant additives. Methods of making and using the water tree resistant cables are further disclosed.

Water tree resistant cables

A conductive composition can include a polyolefin base polymer, a high structure carbon black and a low structure carbon black. The conductive composition can exhibit two or more of a thermal conductivity of about 0.27 W/mK or more when measured at about 75&#xb0; C., a volume resistivity of about 75 ohm-m or less when measured at about 90&#xb0; C. and an elongation at break of about 300% or more. Cables having coverings formed of such conductive compositions and methods of making such cables are also described herein.

Conductive compositions for jacket layers and cables thereof

A data cable can include a plurality of insulated conductors twisted into pairs, an intumescent tape surrounding one or more of the insulated conductors, and a jacket. Each of the plurality of insulated conductors includes a conductor and an insulation layer. Data cables being fluoropolymer-free or halogen free are also described herein.
