Abstract
AbstractThe migration of plasticizer from a PVC jacket into the polyethylene core of a coaxial cable can significantly alter the high‐frequency transmission characteristics of the cable by effectively increasing the dissipation factor of the polyethylene. In order to determine the effect of plasticizer type on transmission loss, a series of PVC‐jacketed polyethylene core coaxial cables was manufactured, each jacket with a different plasticizer. Transmission loss was found to be directly related to plasticizer volatility. A linear trimellitate plasticizer gave stable electrical performance with a good balance of properties, including processing, cost, and fire resistance.
