Patent ID: 8772396

Claim:
An insulated conductor, comprising: a conductor; an insulating layer surrounding the conductor; wherein the insulating layer comprises an insulating layer composition comprising about 10 to about 35 weight percent of a poly(arylene ether); about 8 to about 16 weight percent of an unfunctionalized hydrogenated triblock copolymer of an alkenyl aromatic compound and a conjugated diene; wherein the unfunctionalized hydrogenated triblock copolymer has a weight average molecular weight less than or equal to 200,000 atomic mass units; about 15 to about 30 weight percent of an unfunctionalized polyolefin comprising about 14 to about 30 weight percent of an unfunctionalized ethylene-octene copolymer; and 43 to 60 weight percent of a magnesium dihydroxide; wherein the ma nesiu dihydroxide la er composition m osition comprises a stearic acid-treated magnesium dihydroxide; wherein all weight percents are based on the total weight of the insulating layer composition; and a sheath layer surrounding the insulating layer; wherein the sheath layer comprises a sheath layer composition comprising about 10 to about 35 weight percent of a poly(arylene ether); about 8 to about 16 weight percent of an unfunctionalized hydrogenated triblock copolymer of an alkenyl aromatic compound and a conjugated diene; wherein the unfunctionalized hydrogenated triblock copolymer has a weight average molecular weight less than or equal to 200,000 atomic mass units; about 15 to about 30 weight percent of an unfunctionalized polyolefin comprising about 14 to about 30 weight percent of an unfunctionalized ethylene-octene copolymer; and about 20 to about 40 weight percent of a magnesium dihydroxide; wherein the magnesium dihydroxide of the sheath layer composition comprises an amino magnesium dihydroxide; wherein all weight percents are based on the total weight of the sheath layer composition.
