Claim Text:
1. A process for making a finished wire and cable having a reduced coefficient of friction and reduced pulling force during installation, the process comprising: providing a payoff reel containing at least one internal conductor wire; supplying the at least one internal conductor wire from the reel to at least one extruder; providing the at least one extruder, wherein the at least one extruder applies an insulating material and a polymerized jacket composition over the at least one internal conductor wire, wherein the jacket composition comprises: providing a cooling device for lowering the temperature of the extruded insulating material and the polymerized jacket composition and cooling the insulating material and the polymerized jacket composition in the cooling device; and, reeling onto a storage reel the finished, cooled, wire and cable for storage and distribution; wherein the extruded nylon and silica of the finished wire and cable reduces the coefficient of friction and reduces the pulling force during installation.
