US 12,087,465 B2 · Electrical cable

Abstract

An electrical cable includes a conductor assembly having a first conductor, a second conductor and an insulator surrounding the first conductor and the second conductor. The insulator has an outer surface having an RMS roughness of less than 1.0 micrometers. A cable shield provides electrical shielding for the first and second conductors and has a metallized conductive layer on the outer surface of the insulator. A method of manufacturing an electrical cable includes feeding a first conductor and a second conductor to a core extruder, extruding an insulator around the first and second conductors at the core extruder, heating an outer surface of the insulator to lower a roughness profile of the outer surface, and directly apply a conductive layer to the outer surface of the insulator.

Dependent claims

An electrical cable comprising:

a conductor assembly having a first conductor, a second conductor and an insulator surrounding the first conductor and the second conductor, the insulator having a curved outer surface, the curved outer surface being a surface that has not been roughened having a root means square (RMS) roughness of less than 0.6 μm for a length of the electrical cable;
and
a cable shield providing electrical shielding for the first and second conductors, the cable shield having a metallized conductive layer on the outer surface of the insulator, the metallized conductive layer being curved to surround the curved outer surface, the cable shield extending along the longitudinal axis.
