Abstract
A cable including a conductive composite core formed from braided carbonized fibers and fiberglass fibers. At least a portion of the fiberglass fibers are coated with magnetic material to suppress electromagnetic interference noise. Methods of forming such cables is also provided herein.
Claims19
A cable comprising:
- a conductive composite core comprising one or more carbonized fibers and one or more fiberglass fibers;
- and
- one or more coating layers, wherein each of the one or more coating layers surrounds one of the one or more fiberglass fibers and each of the one or more coating layers comprises a magnetic material;
- wherein the one or more carbonized fibers and the one or more fiberglass fibers are braided together.
