  • Abstract
    A new type of reinforcement using thermoplastic adhesives has been developed. The reinforcement consists of an EVA tube, a steel rod, and a PE shrinkable tube. A loss increase less than 0.1 dB at ¿60°C and an average tensile strength of 2.3 kg have been achieved. Stable and reliable performance of the reinforcement has been confirmed by reliability tests.
