Abstract
Local area network performance can deteriorate when high temperatures cause cable attenuation to increase. This problem can be prevented by careful selection of insulating materials. Dissipation factor and dielectric constant for FEP, PVC, and ECTFE were measured at frequencies from 1 kHz to 300 MHz at 20°C and 60°C. Increases in values for these properties can be related to increases in cable attenuation observed at elevated temperatures
