Gepco HydroBloc Cables
General Cable has launched the Gepco HydroBloc water-resistant cables. UL-rated and in compliance with the TIA-455-82-B water penetration test, HydroBloc cables feature an advanced waterblocked construction, a sunlight- and moisture-resistant jacket, and a ripcord for stripping for audio/ control versions. The water resistance starts with a two-ply water-blocking tape. HydroBloc cables (with the exception of coax versions) also use water-swellable fillers. This construction results in greater swell heights to better fill any voids and prevent water from migrating down the cable. The Hydro- Bloc line comes in a variety of cable types, in both shielded and unshielded versions, to cover an array of applications such as data or power control, multipair audio, general purpose audio, speaker, communications, power-limited circuits (fire alarm and tray cable), low-voltage industrial process control, CATV, and HDTV.
