High-voltage automobile and appliance cable

A cable article having a high voltage rating in an approximate range of 1,000 to 15,000 volts and at an operative temperature of at least approximately 150.degree. C., comprising:

• a conductive core member;
• an intermediate, semiconductive layer overlaying said conductive core member and having a wall thickness in an approximate range of 2 to 20 mils, said semiconductive layer comprising a carbon-impregnated nylon tape;
• and
• an outer, insulative jacket layer overlaying said intermediate, semiconductive layer comprising a cross-linked polyolefin.
