Abstract
Components for incorporation into cable, such as communication cables, are described. At least one cable component, such as an optical fiber buffer tube, may be formed from a polymeric resin that has been nucleated or otherwise combined with a thermoplastic elastomer. The cable component may then be incorporated into a cable that includes at least one transmission element.
