Abstract
Cable sheathing compositions are provided for use in laser marking methods. Cable sheathing compositions include amounts of laser marking additives and color concentrates to enhance the absorption of laser energy and create an indelible mark. Laser marking methods employ cables formed with sheathing compositions and provide advantages to both the speed and power efficiency required by the laser source, as well as the quality and contrast ratio of the resulting laser mark. Cable manufacturing methods and apparatus employing the laser marking methods are also contemplated.
