Abstract
An elongate object (e.g., a cable) with at least one transmission element arranged in a core thereof, in which an outer sheath (3) of insulation material is applied over the core. To achieve specific properties of the sheath (3), the sheath is provided with a coating (4) of a cross-linkable insulating material, which is very thin compared to the thickness of the sheath, and the individual properties of which are adjusted to the particular application of the object.
Claims18
A plurality of at least two elongated objects, each of the objects having at least one transmission element arranged in a core thereof and an outer sheath of insulation material being applied around the core, wherein the sheath for each of said objects is made from the same insulation material, and wherein the sheath of the objects is surrounded by a coating of cross-linkable insulating material with a thickness between 5 μm and 50 μm.
An elongated object, comprising:
- a plurality of elongated transmission elements disposed in a core of said elongated object;
- a sheath surrounding said core;
- and
- a coating surrounding said sheath,
- wherein said coating has a thickness within the range of 5 μm and 50 μm.
An elongated object, comprising:
- at least two transmission elements disposed in a core of said elongated object;
- a sheath individually surrounding each of said at least two transmission elements,
- wherein each of said sheaths are made from the same material;
- and
- a coating individually surrounding each of said sheaths,
- wherein each of said coatings has a thickness within the range of 5 μm and 50 μm.
An elongated object, comprising:
- at least two transmission elements disposed in a core of said elongated object;
- a sheath of insulating material surrounding said core with at least two transmission elements, wherein the material of said sheath exclusively is selected for properties of said elongated object;
- and
- a coating surrounding said sheath to provide a needed protection for the various conditions the said elongated object will experience, wherein said coating has a thickness within the range of 5 μm to 50 μm.
