US 2026/0155279 A1 · JACKET FOR AN ELECTRICAL CABLE

Abstract

The disclosed technology is generally directed to electrical cables. In one example of the technology, the electrical cable includes a conductor and a jacket. The conductor has a cross-sectional profile and an outer surface with a circumference. The jacket surrounds the conductor. The jacket includes an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface has a first cross-sectional profile that is substantially uniform with respect to the cross-sectional profile of the conductor. The outer surface has a second cross-sectional profile that is substantially non-uniform with respect to the cross-sectional profile of the conductor and the first cross-sectional profile.

Dependent claims

A multicore electrical cable having a longitudinal axis along the length of the multicore electrical cable, the multicore electrical cable comprising:

a first set of conductors having a cross-sectional profile and an outer surface with a circumference;
and
a first jacket surrounding the first set of conductors, the first jacket comprising:
an inner surface having a first cross-sectional profile that is substantially uniform with respect to the cross-sectional profile of the first set of conductors;
and
an outer surface having a plurality of surface features extending along the longitudinal axis of the multicore electrical cable, the surface features defining a non-linear circumference configured to enhance thermal dissipation,
the outer surface having a second cross-sectional profile that is substantially non-uniform with respect to the cross-sectional profile of the first set of conductors and the first cross-sectional profile.
