Digital Linear Tape
<storage> (DLT) A kind of magnetic tape drive
originally developed by DEC and now marketed by Quantum.
DLT drives implement the Digital Lempel Ziv 1 (DLZ1)
compression algorithm in a combination of hardware and
firmware. They use a popular chip by Stac (now hi/fn)
to do the string searching. Counting, sorting and {Huffman
coding} are done in firmware (with hardware support for the
Huffman algorithm?).
In April 1997 DLT drives can transfer 5 megabytes per second
and can store 35 gigabytes on a single cartridge.
Compression might roughly double these figures.

ADHESIVE ELECTRICAL INSULATION
Electrical Tape; LX tape; Electrician's tape; Electricians tape; PVC tape; Vinyl tape; Insulating tape; Insulation tape; Electric Tape
Prepared tape used in covering the ends of wire where stripped for
making joints. After the stripped ends of two pieces are twisted
together, and if necessary soldered and carefully cleaned of soldering
fluid, they may be insulated by being wound with insulating tape.
The tape is variously prepared. It may be common cotton or other tape
saturated with any insulating compound, or may be a strip of gutta
percha or of some flexible cement-like composition.

Digital Linear Tape
Digital Linear Tape (DLT; previously called CompacTape) is a magnetic-tape data storage technology developed by Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) from 1984 onwards. In 1994, the technology was purchased by Quantum Corporation, who manufactured drives and licensed the technology and trademark. A variant with higher capacity is called Super DLT (SDLT). The lower cost "value line" was initially manufactured by Benchmark Storage Innovations under license from Quantum. Quantum acquired Benchmark in 2002.
In 2007 Quantum stopped developing DLT drives, shifting its strategy to LTO.
