The present disclosure provides an intermittent tape ( 100 ) disposed of around a pair of conductors. The intermittent tape ( 100 ) has a top dielectric layer ( 102 ), a bottom dielectric layer ( 106 ) and a conductive layer ( 104 ). The conductive layer ( 104 ) is sandwiched between the top dielectric layer ( 102 ) and the bottom dielectric layer ( 106 ). The conductive layer ( 104 ) includes conductive segments ( 108 ) and non-conductive segments ( 110 ). The non-conductive segments ( 110 ) are defined by an absence of the conductive segments ( 108 ). The conductive segments ( 108 ) and the non-conductive segments ( 110 ) are arranged alternatingly. A width of the non-conductive segments ( 110 ) between the conductive segments ( 108 ) is constant.

A telecommunications cable ( 100 ) has a jacket ( 110 ) and a separator ( 102 ). The separator ( 102 ) has a plurality of curved arms ( 104 ) and a plurality of primary arms ( 112 a, 112 b, 112 c, 112 d ). Each end of the plurality of curved arms ( 104 ) is kept in contact with an inner surface of the jacket ( 110 ) to form a plurality of enclosed sections ( 114 ). The plurality of primary arms does not touch the inner surface of the jacket and is placed in an offset position relative to one another such that the plurality of primary arms is not aligned in line with one another creating an offset at a point of intersection. The plurality of primary arms has a plurality of equally distributed corrugations ( 116 ) projecting inwards towards the inner surface of the jacket ( 110 ).

A telecommunications cable includes a plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors, a separator, a first jacket, one or more barriers and a second jacket. In addition, the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors extends substantially along a longitudinal axis of the telecommunications cable. Further, the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors includes an electrical conductor and an insulation layer. Furthermore, the separator separates each of the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors. Moreover, the first jacket and the second jacket extend substantially along the longitudinal axis of the telecommunications cable. Also, the one or more barriers are positioned between the first jacket and the second jacket.

The present disclosure provides a thermal resistant water blocking tape for use in an optical fiber cable. The thermal resistant water blocking tape includes a water blocking tape. The water blocking tape is resistant to water penetration. The water blocking tape is defined by a top surface and a bottom surface. In addition, the water blocking tape has an intumescent material that reduces transmission of thermal radiations across the thermal resistant water blocking tape at elevated temperature. The intumescent material may be coated on the water blocking tape. The intumescent material may produce insulating carbonaceous foam at elevated temperature.

A telecommunications cable includes a plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors. The plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors extends substantially along a longitudinal axis of the telecommunications cable. In addition, the telecommunications cable includes a separator. The separator separates each twisted pair of insulated conductor of the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors. Moreover, the telecommunications cable includes a first layer. The first layer surrounds the separator and the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors along a length of the telecommunications cable. The separator is I-shaped filler. The separator is made of low smoke zero halogen material or MDPE. The first layer is made of low smoke zero halogen material, polyethylene or poly vinyl chloride. The first layer has a thickness in a range of about 0.4 millimeter- 2.5 millimeters.
