Until the early 1950's, the classical distribution cable in the communications industry was lead sheathed and paper or pulp insulated. Due to the shortage of lead occurring at that time, various composite sheaths were developed as substitutes. Polyethylene insulated conductor cable (PIC cable) was introduced to the communications industry in 1954, first for aerial applications and then for direct burial applications.
