Abstract
The cable comprises at least one module (3) of fine conductors (1) each covered in a primary sheath (2), the conductors being wrapped in a supporting sheath (4) that provides mechanical coupling between the fine conductors (1), and the fine conductors (1) being coated in an oil (5) having viscosity lying in the range 100 cPo to 5,000 cPo.
Claims7
In a cable having a plurality of fine conductors with a primary sheath directly contacting and covering each conductor, at least one module having a plurality of the primary sheath covered conductors disposed within a supporting sheath, and gaps between the primary sheath covered conductors in the module are substantially filled with a sealant,
- the improvement wherein the sealant consists essentially of an oil having a viscosity in the range of 100 cPo to 5,000 cPo.
