Abstract
A cable includes a core having a length, a jacket coaxially surrounding the core along the length, and a non-flowing floodant between the core and the jacket. The non-flowing floodant is disposed circumferentially and in a segmented manner such that the coaxial drop cable is configured to include a plurality of first areas, separated from one another along the length, that include the non-flowing floodant, and second areas, separated from one another along the length by a respective one of the first areas, having a space between the jacket and the core without the non-flowing floodant. The non-flowing floodant is configured to circumferentially seal a space between the core and the jacket at the plurality of first areas. Two consecutive ones of the plurality of first areas are configured to contain moisture in the second area between the two consecutive ones of the plurality of first areas.
