More Information
Summary:An indoor rated communications cable includes a communications carrying medium surrounded by a jacket. A material used to form the jacket is a polymer including a microencapsulated ammonium octamolybdate (AOM) additive therein. In some embodiments, the polymer may include polyvinyl chloride (PVC), fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) or polyolefin (PO). One or more additional flame retardants may also be added to the polymer. The communications cable may be a twisted pair, fiber optic or coaxial cable. The present invention also provides a method of forming the communications cable.
