Gel water blocking involves the careful application of water-repelling gel to a cable’s shield to help stop the longitudinal migration of water. During the manufacturing process, the gel is carefully applied to fill-in gaps within the cables internal conductors. Once the final, outer jacket is applied, and having filled-in all internal gaps, the migration of water through the cable is less likely. CITCABLE recommends the use of gel water blocking technology as part of a comprehensive design including proper termination and selection of suitable connectors.
