A communications cable including a gel composition comprising a water absorbent hydrocarbon polymer with pendent anionic groups which fills both filling and flooding zones. The gel composition is activated with moisture so that the water absorbent composition migrates to engage and absorb the water. The composition can also be used to protect enclosed components, fiber optics, or contents from water damage. Also, the gel composition protects wires which carry a small dc current such as communication wires and splices. The composition eliminates shorts caused by moisture contact with such wires. |
