摘要：
A rodent repellent cable has an outer protective jacket for housing the cable's internal components. The internal components include at least a means for facilitating transmission of electrical current or data, and a repellent bonded to at least one component of the cable. The means for facilitating transmission of electrical current or data include, but are not limited to, wires and optical fibers. The cable may include additional internal components, such as one or more separators and a sheath. The repellent is configured to repel rodents, based on a negative olfactory stimulus when the rodents are subjected to the repellent. This will deter rodents from chewing on wire or cable containing the repellent, which will significantly reduce the incidence of fires of undetermined origin and rodent-inflicted damage to wiring systems universally.
