Abstract
A cable including a conductive composite core formed from braided carbonized fibers and fiberglass fibers. At least a portion of the fiberglass fibers are coated with magnetic material to suppress electromagnetic interference noise. Methods of forming such cables is also provided herein.
Claims20
A cable comprising:
- a conductive composite core comprising one or more carbonized fibers and one or more fiberglass fibers;
- and
- wherein the one or more carbonized fibers and the one or more fiberglass fibers are braided together.
A cable comprising a conductive composite core, the conductive composite core comprising:
- one or more carbonized fibers;
- one or more fiberglass fibers;
- and
- one or more coating layers comprising a magnetic material, wherein each of the one or more coating layers surrounds one of said fiberglass fibers;
- wherein the one or more carbonized fibers and the one or more fiberglass fibers are braided together;
- and
- wherein the cable exhibits an electrical resistance of about 25 ohm/foot to about 5,000 ohm/foot.
