Abstract
The disclosed conductor includes a core, having a plurality of conductive glass fibers, an overwrap of non-conductive glass strands wound under tension around the core and a semi-conductive overcoat, preferably of polytetrafluoroethylene having suspended therein conductive powders, and silica. The overwrap includes distinct windings, rather than a braid, which securely retains the fibers in a cylindrical core of uniform cross-section.
