Cable, combined cable made of plastic fibers and steel wire strands, and combined strands made of plastic fibers and steel wires

A combined strand comprising a core (6, 7) of high strength synthetic fibers and an outer layer of steel wires (9), wherein the synthetic fibers are a bundle or a plurality of bundles of monofilaments, which is or are enclosed by a sheathing, wherein the bundle or bundles of monofilaments (1, 6) is or are stretched, with a reduction in diameter, so that the monofilaments are in a final spatial order, forming a stable cross section, wherein the sheathing sits, in a corset-like manner, under prestress on the bundle or the bundles so that the cross section of the bundle or bundles of monofilaments assumed in the stretched state is fixed.

A combined cable comprising a core cable (1, 2) of high-strength synthetic fibers and an outer layer of steel wire strands (4;

• 5), wherein the synthetic fibers are a bundle or a plurality of bundles of monofilaments, which is or are stretched, with a reduction of diameter, so that the monofilaments form a stable bundle cross section, and are enclosed by an incompliant sheathing that fixes, in a corset-like manner, the cross section of the bundle or bundles of monofilaments assumed in the stretched state and, in addition to the sheathing, the combined cable has an intermediate layer (3) of an elastic synthetic material into which the steel wire strands (4;
• 5) are pressed while spaced apart from one another in such a way that the outer layer extends under load, and contracts radially in order to make strain behavior of the outer layer of steel wire strands approximate strain behavior of the core cable.
