Electrical cable with electrically conductive coating

A cable comprising:

• an inner electrical insulator;
• an electrically conductive wrapping wrapped about the inner electrical insulator, wherein the electrically conductive wrapping defines a radially inner end that faces the inner electrical insulator and a radially outer end that is opposite the radially inner end, and the wrapping radially overlaps itself so as to define first and second overlapping portions in an overlapped region;
• and
• an electrically conductive coating that is also an anti-oxidation agent disposed between the radially outer end and the radially inner end of the first and second overlapping portions, respectively, in the overlapped region,
• wherein the electrically conductive coating prevents oxidation of the electrically conductive wrapping, and
• wherein bending of the cable causes the first and second overlapping portions at the overlapped region to slide along each other.
