LOW SHRINK TELECOMMUNICATIONS CABLE AND METHODS FOR MANUFACTURING THE SAME

摘要

The present disclosure relates to a telecommunications cable having a layer (24, 28) constructed to resist post-extrusion shrinkage. The layer includes a plurality of discrete shrinkage-reduction members embedded within a base material. The shrinkage-reduction members can be made of a liquid crystal polymer. The disclosure also relates to a method for manufacturing telecommunications cables having layers adapted to resist post-extrusion shrinkage.
