A process is taught for producing plastic jacketed cable for use in underground ducts exposed to unusually high temperatures and having a corrugated metallic shield which imprints the plastic covering includes an inner jacket capable of providing and maintaining adequate strength properties notwithstanding imprinting thereof by the corrugations of the shield contiguous thereto and an outer jacket superimposed over the inner jacket and suitable for resisting degradation while being exposed to elevated temperatures for sustained periods of time.

Methods of making dual jacketed cable

A gas feeder pipe assembly includes a central duct capable of functioning as a gas feeder pipe and a plurality of pairs of electrical conductors in a unitary structure. The gas feeder pipe is located at the center of the structure, and the conductors surround the pipe in an oscillating lay. The pipe and the conductors are wrapped in a polyester film and enclosed in a coated aluminum sheath. A polyethylene jacket bonded to the aluminum sheath provides the outermost protection for the assembly.

Gas feeder pipe assembly including electrical conductors

A plastic jacketed cable; having a corrugated metallic shield which encloses a core comprising a plurality of insulated conductors, for use in underground ducts exposed to elevated temperatures includes an inner jacket which is capable of providing and maintaining adequate strength properties notwithstanding imprinting thereof by the corrugations of the shield contiguous thereto, and an outer jacket superimposed over the inner jacket and suitable for resisting degradation while being exposed to the elevated temperatures for sustained periods of time.
