Claim:
1. A cable jacket polymeric composition, comprising: (a) an ethylene-based polymer; and (b) a slip agent, wherein said slip agent comprises a silicone and a fatty acid amide, wherein said silicone and said fatty acid amide are present in a combined amount ranging from 0.35 to 3.0 weight percent based on the total weight of components (a) and (b), wherein said cable jacket polymeric composition has a coefficient of friction lower than both a first comparative composition and a second comparative composition, wherein said first comparative composition has an identical composition as said cable jacket polymeric composition except that said slip agent is comprised entirely of said silicone, wherein said second comparative composition has an identical composition as said cable jacket polymeric composition except that said slip agent is comprised entirely of said fatty acid amide, wherein said coefficient of friction is measured according to ASTM D1894.
