Icky-pick or icky-pic is a gelatinous cable compound used in outdoor-rated communications cables, including both twisted-pair copper cabling and fiber-optic cabling. "PIC" is the abbreviation for "plastic insulated cable". The cable is filled with an "icky" substance. The filled cable itself, therefore, is called an "icky PIC". Icky-pick has two primary functions:
- Deter animals from biting and damaging the cable due to the smell and taste of the gel
- Seal any nick or gash in the outer jac
