Abstract

A cable having a thixotropic filling compound therein, the filling compound being a gel composition including a water absorbent hydrocarbon polymer with pendent anionic groups. The composition eliminates shorts caused by moisture contact with such wires. The cable including the composition is stabilized against thermally induced capacitance changes and shows improved oxidation induction times.
