Why is "wet performance" emphasized in wire and cable materials?

Many people focus on the conductivity of cables, but in practical applications, "wet electrical performance" is equally crucial.
In humid environments, ordinary materials easily absorb water, leading to: decreased insulation performance; increased electrical losses; and shortened service life.
IOTA-570 3-(methacryloyloxy)propyltrimethoxysilane improves the bonding between fillers (such as clay) and rubber matrices (EPM, EPDM), resulting in a denser material structure and effectively reducing moisture intrusion.
Its advantages include: reduced dielectric loss; improved capacitance stability; and improved long-term weather resistance.
This is why silane coupling agents have become standard in high-requirement cables (such as power cables and communication cables).
