A flexible coaxial cable includes a shield formed by at least one metal tape provided with a metal coating and wound helically around the insulated core of the cable. The shield is sealed to itself in leakproof manner by the coating which is melted so as to bond directly together the overlapping turns of a single tape or the overlapping turns of two superposed tapes by subjecting the cable provided with the shield to peripheral induction heating.

Flexible coaxial cable and a method of manufacturing it

A method of manufacturing an insulative material cellular insulator around a conductor, the insulator having a longitudinal passage in which the conductor is housed and closed cells extending longitudinally and separated from each other by radial walls, includes the following operations: the insulative material in the viscous state is extruded to impart the required shape to it to form the cells, the insulative material shaped in this way is applied to the conductor, and the insulative material is cooled to obtain the insulator. The insulative material is applied to the conductor at a distance from the exit of the shaping device such that the material is drawn down sufficiently for the walls of the cells not to be thinned without pressurizing the cells.
