Abstract
A high-voltage resistant cable for connecting a high-voltage source and an acceleration section of an X-ray tube that each have a respective socket and a flange. The cable includes an inner conductor, a surrounding electrical insulator, an enveloping shielding made of an electrically conductive material, and plugs at each respective end. Each plug includes a plug flange for cooperating with the respective flange and having a hollow interior, and an electrical insulator that includes a conic-shape portion for extending into the respective socket, and a cylindrical portion extending within the hollow interior of the plug flange. The cable including absorber elements at each of the two ends of the cable for absorbing the energy of high-voltage discharge-related transients. Each absorber element is configured as a ring-shape, the ring-shape absorber element encircling the cylindrical portion and being located within the hollow interior of the plug flange.
