A jacket for an elongated assembly is disclosed. The jacket, which may be a tubular shape or sheet, comprises a film layer to surround a core member of the elongated assembly, wherein the film layer has a first surface to be arranged abutting the core member in a non-bonded relationship; a braided, woven, or warp-knit layer comprising high-melt filament having a titer from 30 to 800 denier; and a bonding region between the braided, woven, or warp-knit layer and a second surface of the film layer, opposing to the first surface, to adhere at least a portion of the high-melt fibers. The jacket may further comprise an inner film layer in a non-bonded relationship with the film layer.

Abrasion resistant and flexible cable jacket systems

A twisted pair data bus cable is provided which is small, lightweight and flexible. The cable consists of a pair of insulated conductors twisted about one another, which has sections of the cable surrounded by metallic shielding, in which the sections surrounded by metallic shielding having a thicker insulation cross section than the sections not surrounded by metallic shielding.
