A thermoplastic cable and method of manufacture for use in an electrical system comprising a core which comprises a transmission medium, said transmission medium being an insulated metallic conductor or optical fiber, and a jacket which encloses the core and the jacket being co-extruded on the core and comprises an extruded inner layer and an extruded outer layer, with the inner layer being inseparable from and integrally formed with the outer layer.

Matte finished cable jacket

A high-strength textile ribbon disposed against the webbing of the core of a parallel lead cable significantly enhances the breaking strength of the incorporating cable without significantly affecting its flexibility or electrical properties. Breaking strength may be further enhanced by bonding the ribbon to the webbing and the adjacent portion of the cable sheath.

High-strength flexible twin-lead cable

An improved shielding member and electric cable constructions which utilize this shielding member are described, the design of the shielding member allowing two cable circuits, each consisting of one or more conductors to be wrapped in and electrically isolated by a single shielding member. The shielding member comprises an elongated ribbon of insulating material and a pair of elongated foil strips arranged in a parallel relationship with the ribbon, the foil strips being bonded to opposite sides of the ribbon and each of the foil strips having an elongated edge generally in alignment with opposite elongated edges of the ribbon. The shielding member is wound in a generally S-shaped configuration forming two envelopes, each of the cable circuits being encased in, and electrically isolated by, one of the envelopes.
