Core Wrap & Separator Tapes



Typical Applications

Power, electronic, shipboard, and multi-pair telecommunications cables

Construction

Single or multi-layer films (polyester, polyethylene, or polyimide) or aramid paper with optional colored or adhesive coatings or films.

General Features/Benefits

Protect conductors from penetration of moisture, chemicals, and jacket compound
Maintain cable concentricity and firmness of conductor bundles
Isolate pairs
Provide dielectric insulation




Selecting the product that's right for you:

FILM

PAPER

Aramid paper (Nomex®) provides temperature resistant insulation and binding

COATINGS

All core wraps and separator tapes are available with heat seal or pressure sensitive adhesive coatings which bond to common jacket materials or to themselves, helping to eliminate water paths and simplify jacket stripping.
