Abstract

A ribbon cable or discrete wires, having a layer of thermally stable, crush resistant, fibril microporous heat sealable thermoplastic crystallizable polymer dielectric surrounding said conductor. The thermoplastic dielectric having a void volume in excess of 70%, a propagation velocity of the insulated conductor greater than 85% the propagation velocity in air and the crush resistance being the recovery rate of the material after being under a 500 gram weight for 10 minutes greater than 92% of the initial thickness.
