Abstract
A cable having a conductor for conducting electrical current, a first layer of insulation encircling the conductor for insulating the conductor, a mesh tape applied over the first layer of insulation for reinforcing the cable and substantially limiting the cable from stretching when the cable is placed in tension, and a second layer of insulation encircling and interwoven with the mesh tape. Also provided is a method for manufacturing the cable described above.
Claims8
A method of manufacturing a cable, comprising the steps of:
- providing conductive means for conducting electrical current;
- applying a first layer of insulation over said conductive means;
- wrapping a mesh tape longitudinally around said first layer of insulation at substantially same time as a second layer of insulation is applied over said mesh tape, wherein said mesh tape and said second layer of insulation are interwoven with each other.
A method of manufacturing a cable, comprising the steps of:
- providing conductive means for conducting electrical current;
- applying a first layer of insulation over said conductive means;
- longitudinally wrapping a mesh tape around said first layer of insulation at a given rate of speed;
- and
- applying a second layer of insulation over said mesh tape at substantially said given rate of speed, wherein said mesh tape and said second layer of insulation are interwoven with each other.
