A comprehensive guide to cable materials, markets, and products
The Global Cable Industry presents a comprehensive overview of the most recent developments of nuclear power station cables, undersea cables, coaxial cables, optical wires, medium- and high-voltage cables. With contributions from noted researchers and developers in the field, the book includes information on material developments for polymers, crosslinked elastomers and flame retardant non-halogen- and also PVC cable compounds.
The contributors provide information on technologies to crosslink polymers, an overview of foam polymers, and field experiences of the new cable fire test within the Construction Product Regulation framework. In addition, this comprehensive resource contains the most relevant economic questions related to the cable industry that highlights materials, market segments, and countries. This important book:
* Includes contributions from researchers and developers of key companies in the cable industry
* Presents information on the most recent developments in cable industry and it?s markets.
* Covers the most industry-relevant cable types such as nuclear power cables, undersea, coaxial, optical, medium- and high-voltage cables
Written for power engineers, materials scientists, chemists and engineering scientists in industry, The Global Cable Industry is an up-to-date guide to the multi-billion-dollar cable enterprise.
