Abstract:
Disclosed are cable types, including a type THHN cable, the cable types having a reduced surface coefficient of friction, and the method of manufacture thereof, in which the central conductor core and insulating layer are surrounded by a material containing nylon or thermosetting resin. A silicone based pulling lubricant for said cable, or alternatively, erucamide or stearyl erucamide for small cable gauge wire, is incorporated, by alternate methods, with the resin material from which the outer sheath is extruded, and is effective to reduce the required pulling force between the formed cable and a conduit during installation.

Claim (Index 20):
A method for manufacturing a power cable of the type comprising a conductor and an extruded sheath surrounding at least said conductor, in which the extruded sheath has at least its exterior portion formed of nylon material, wherein the improvement comprises:\n introducing a silicone based pulling lubricant in said nylon material in connection with extruding the extruded sheath as one of the steps for the overall manufacture of the power cable, wherein silicone based pulling lubricant after such introduction permeates throughout at least said exterior portion of the extruded sheath, thereby to become available at the exterior surface of said extruded sheath to facilitate the installation of said power cable to be pulled along an installation surface through building passageways in rafters or joists or conduit bends, the silicone based pulling lubricant in a concentration sufficient to reduce the required installation pulling force for installation of said power cable through said building passageways, and wherein the concentration, by weight, of the silicone based pulling lubricant is at least 8%.
