About Co-axial and tele communication cable jelly

Coaxial and Telecommunication Cable Jelly: Description

Cable jelly (also known as filling compound, petroleum jelly, or cable gel) is a semi-solid, water-resistant substance used in coaxial and telecommunication cables to:

• Prevent moisture ingress

• Block water migration along the cable

• Provide insulation and cushioning

• Protect against corrosion

Common Characteristics:

• Material: Typically a petroleum-based gel or silicone compound, sometimes mixed with thixotropic agents to improve stability.

• Texture: Thick, sticky, and semi-fluid; remains stable over a wide temperature range.

• Color: Usually amber, clear, or yellowish.

• Non-toxic and chemically inert, designed to be stable over decades.
