AXELERON™ Telecom Cable Compounds

Protecting the cables that connect us  

AXELERON™ Telecom Cable Compounds provide long-lasting performance for cable insulation and jacketing. Each  compound offers performance benefits across a breadth of properties. Excellent strength against adverse mechanical, electrical, chemical and thermal conditions. Improved efficiency of production and processing. And innovative formulations that significantly reduce signal loss.

Designed for toughness while maintaining high data transmission rates over extremely long distances, each telecommunications cable compound is designed with the needs of high-frequency cable producers, layers, network operators and users in mind. For the information age, AXELERON™ Telecom Cable Compounds provide the entertainment and connectivity we all rely upon.

AXELERON™ Telecom Cable Compounds provide high performance insulation to copper cables and are a part of the smooth protective coverings in coaxial, copper LAN/twisted pair, and fiber optic cables found in homes, businesses, or anyplace that uses telecommunications. Helping deliver broadband access and cell phone transmissions, they can even help boost signal efficiency, with up to a 30% decrease in dielectric loss in some applications.  

They do it all by combining high line speeds and production efficiency with strength, durability, flexibility, and consistency. Buried underground, run through conduit, in cell towers… insulation, jacketing, and buffering compounds made with AXELERON™ will get the job done. So people can stay connected. How can AXELERON™ Telecom Cable Compounds help protect the wires and cables we count on every day? Let’s take a closer look together.
