Abstract
Insulating jackets extend cable life by retarding the ingress of water and soluble ions from the ground, minimizing cable installation damage and mitigating neutral corrosion. The physical properties of jacketing materials are discussed, along with the evolution of polyethylene jacketing compounds and the requirements of compatible red cable identification compounds.<>
