Our Cable Filler Product Line
Untwisted Plastic Cable Filler
Our untwisted plastic cable fillers fill empty spaces within a cable and provide structural support for easy handling during cable manufacturing. We use a specialized process to create a soft mesh-like pattern in our flat fibrillated fillers, allowing them to fill the vacant spaces between conductors inside the cable uniformly.
Standard and flame-retardant tubes are available from .04″ (1.2mm) to .180″ (4.6mm). The put-up is on a 12″ traverse by 3.25″ I.D. tubes.
Twisted Plastic Cable Filler
Used to construct cables to provide mechanical support and maintain their shape, the twisting in our plastic fillers helps reduce electromagnetic interference (EMI) and crosstalk between conductors. Where a round profile is best for filling a void (typically in larger cables), we manufacture our twisted plastic fillers by twisting an extruded tape to form a round length.
Standard and flame-retardant materials are available from .045″ (1.2mm) to .350″ (8.9mm). The put-up is on a 10″ traverse by 2″ I.D. tubes. We can include plugs in the tube to bring the I.D. to 1″.
Twisted Paper Cable Filler
Our twisted paper cable fillers maintain the geometry of an electrical cable by supporting and stabilizing it. We manufacture our twisted paper fillers by slitting large rolls of paper into varying widths, dipping the strips into wax, and twisting the strips around a reinforcement material (typically fiberglass) for a solid round filler.
Standard and flame-retardant materials are available from .055″ (1.4mm) to .313″ (8.0mm). The put-up is on a 10″ traverse by 2″ I.D. tubes. We can include plugs in the tube to bring the I.D. to 1″.
