Abstract
A conductively-jacketed electrical cable which provides continuous electrical contact from a drain wire through a metal-coated tape wrapped shield, a semiconductive adhesive layer applied to the tape on the reverse side from the metal coating, to a semiconductive jacket.
Claims6
A conductively-jacketed electrical cable comprising from inside to outside:
- (a) two or more conductive metal center conductors each separately surrounded by an electrically insulating material;
- (b) one or more electrically conductive metal drain wires positioned parallel to said center conductors along the length of said cable outside of said insulating material;
- (c) a layer of metal-coated polymer tape coated on the side opposite the metal coating with a thin adhesive layer of semiconductive polymer film and wrapped around said center conductors, said insulating materials, and said drain wires as a unit, said tape being positioned so that its metal side is adjacent said drain wires;
- and
- (d) a semiconductive thermoplastic polymer protective jacket.

A wiring harness comprising a multiplicity of electrical cables held together as a unit along a portion of their length, each cable therein comprising:
- (a) two or more conductive metal center conductors each separately surrounded by an electrically insulating material;
- (b) one or more electrically conductive drain wires positioned parallel to said center conductors along the length of said cable outside of said insulating material;
- (c) a layer of metal-coated polymer tape coated on the side opposite the metal coating with a thin adhesive layer of semiconductive polymer film and wrapped around said center conductors, said insulating materials, and said drain wires as a unit, said tape being positioned so that its metal side is adjacent said drain wires;
- and
- (d) a semiconductive thermoplastic polymer protective jacket.
