Abstract:
A cable comprising a conductor and one or more coating layers, wherein at least one of-the coating layers comprises, as non-crosslinked base polymer material, a mixture comprising: (a) a crystalline propylene homopolymer or copolymer; and (b) a copolymer of ethylene with at least one alpha-olefin having from 4 to 12 carbon atoms, and optionally, a diene; the copolymer (b) characterized by a density between and 0.86 g/cm.sup.3 and 0.90 g/cm.sup.3, and by a Composition Distribution Index, defined as the weight percentage of copolymer molecules having an alpha-olefin content within 50% of the average total molar content of alpha-olefin, of greater than 45%.
