Abstract
A multiple wire electric cable (10) having a plurality of conductive wires (12), each formed of a multifilament tensile core (14) of unbonded aramid fibers (16). Said conductive wires (12) further having at least a pair of tinsel conductor ribbons (18, 20), spirally wrapped in the same direction about tensile core (14). Further, each of conductor wires (12) arranged in an orientation wherein the spiral wraps of conductor tinsel in each conductor wire (12) are in alternating directions from one conductive wire to the next.
Claims26
A multiple wire electric cable consisting essentially of:
- a plurality of conductive wires each having a tensile load bearing filament surrounded by a plurality of overlaid, spirally wrapped, strips of conductive material with each of the strips of conductive material for each conductive wire spirally wrapped about the strand of filaments in the same direction, and with each of said conductive wires arranged in a parallel array in spaced apart relationship wherein the direction of the spiral wrappings of conductive material of each of the conductive wires of the array are arranged in an orientation of alternating directions from one conductive wire to the next;
- and
- said parallel array of conductive wires being held within a single thermoplastic insulating jacket.
