Available in a variety of cable types for a wide array of

applications, Gepco® Brand HydroBloc™ Water-Resistant

Cables feature an advanced water-block construction, a
sunlight- and moisture-resistant jacket and a ripcord for
ease of stripping for audio/control versions.

ADVANCED WATER-BLOCK CONSTRUCTION

The advanced water-block construction of HydroBloc
cables starts with a two-ply water-blocking tape
for superior protection. In contrast to one-ply tape
in which water-blocking polymer is attached to one
side of a fiber filament tape, the two-ply tape has the
water-blocking polymer sandwiched between two fiber
filament tapes, which allows for increased volume of
the polymer. In addition, HydroBloc cables (with the
exception of coax versions) utilize water-swellable
fillers for added protection. This advanced construction
results in greater swell heights to better fill any voids
and prevent water from migrating down the cable and
disrupting any electrical characteristics should there
be a cut or slit in the jacket.
