A low smoke, low toxicity fiber optic cable that provides an intermediate surface that facilitates bonding to optical connectors such as LC connectors, is provided. In a preferred embodiment, the inventive cable exhibits improved dimensional stability by minimizing or eliminating shrinkage stress on the optic fiber core.

Low smoke, low toxicity fiber optic cable

Lightweight composite electrical conductors made up of a plastic matrix or plastic core, a plurality of electrical conductors either embedded within the plastic matrix or circumferentially surrounding an outer surface of the plastic core, and at least one insulating layer, as well as, cables incorporating one or more of these conductors, are provided. The inventive composite conductors and cables are particularly useful for automotive and aircraft wire and cable.

Lightweight composite electrical conductors and cables incorporating same

A fiber optic cable that employs a dual layer jacket and that demonstrates improved dimensional stability over a wide temperature range, is provided. In a preferred embodiment, the inventive cable is flame-retardant and, upon flaming, smoke suppressed and non-hazardous.

Fiber optic cable demonstrating improved dimensional stability

A multi-layer insulation system for electrical conductors, an insulated electrical conductor, a process for preparing an insulated conductor, and an insulated conductor prepared by such a process are provided. The insulated electrical conductors are lightweight, qualify for temperature ratings of up to approximately 230&deg; C., and demonstrate mechanical durability and hydrolysis resistance. As such, these insulated conductors are particularly useful for aircraft wire and cable.

Multi-layer insulation system for electrical conductors

A low-smoke, highly flame-retardant and flexible dual layer insulation system, which demonstrates improved cut-through resistance, is provided. The inventive insulation system, which is suitable for use as an outer covering for wires or conductors, comprises a cross-linked, highly flame-retardant and halogen-free first insulating layer and a tough, flexible second insulating layer.

Dual layer insulation system

Polyamide coating compositions that demonstrate strength and toughness, flame and corrosion resistance and resistance to hydrolysis and thermal degradation at coating thicknesses of less than or equal to 0.25 mm or 0.15 mm are provided. Such coating compositions are extremely useful for coating wires or cables that are housed in automotive electrical harnesses.
