Scope

Dissipation factor, permittivity and dc volume resistivity are properties of communication cable fillers and filler components that are controlled in order that the cablersquo;electrical performance falls within its design limits. Relatively small amounts of contaminants, such as polar compounds, water or salts, degrade the cablersquo;electrical properties. Limits on the dielectric properties of the cable filling compound are usually specified by the cable manufacturer, by industry standards or both.
