More Information
Summary:An encapsulating material for use on the spliced connections of cable connectors is disclosed. The encapsulating material protects the spliced connections from signal disruptions attributable to both moisture and debris transported onto the cable connectors by insects. The encapsulating material is a mixture of a styrene-rubber block copolymer and a microbe-resistant extender material. Microbe-resistant extender materials that are hydrophobic include branched hydrocarbon compounds and silicon compounds. The encapsulating material optionally includes polyethylene. The polyethylene improves the flow resistance of the encapsulating material.
