An electrical cable includes a conductor assembly having a first conductor, a second conductor and an insulator surrounding the first conductor and the second conductor. The insulator has an outer surface having an RMS roughness of less than 1.0 micrometers. A cable shield provides electrical shielding for the first and second conductors and has a metallized conductive layer on the outer surface of the insulator. A method of manufacturing an electrical cable includes feeding a first conductor and a second conductor to a core extruder, extruding an insulator around the first and second conductors at the core extruder, heating an outer surface of the insulator to lower a roughness profile of the outer surface, and directly apply a conductive layer to the outer surface of the insulator.

An assembled wire, having: an assembled conductor composed of a plurality of conductor strands each having a rectangular cross-section, stacked and arranged each other across an interlayer insulating layer; an insulating outer layer that coats the assembled conductor including the interlayer insulating layer; and an adhesion layer composed of a thermoplastic resin having a thickness of 3 m or more and 10 m or less between the assembled conductor and the insulating outer layer.

A data cable for high-speed data transmissions has a core pair enclosed by a pair shield. The core pair has two conductors each formed by a signal conductor and a conductor insulation surrounding the signal conductor. The conductors of the conductor pair run parallel to one another. An insulating intermediate casing is arranged between the core pair and the pair shield.

In a flame retardant resin composition containing a polyolefin resin, a silicone-based compound blended at a ratio of 1.5 parts by mass or more and 20 parts by mass or less relative to 100 parts by mass of the polyolefin resin, a fatty acid containing compound blended at a ratio of 5 parts by mass or more and 20 parts by mass or less relative to 100 parts by mass of the polyolefin resin, and an inorganic flame retardant blended at a ratio of 5 parts by mass or more and 40 parts by mass or less relative to 100 parts by mass of the polyolefin resin, the decomposition onset temperature of the inorganic flame retardant is lower than the decomposition onset temperature of the silicone-based compound.

A thermoplastic composition includes a polyetherimide, a thermoplastic polyester elastomer comprising a hard segment comprising a polyester block, and a soft segment comprising a polyether block or a polyester block, and optionally, a polyester, one or more flame retardants, and one or more additives. Articles including the composition can include an extruded part, an injection molded part, or a hot-compressed part. Also described herein is an electrical wire including a conductor wire and a covering disposed over the conductor wire, wherein the covering includes the thermoplastic composition.

An insulated wire having at least one layer of coating of the wire, comprising a thermosetting resin layer, at the outer periphery of a conductor, wherein the thermosetting resin layer is comprised of thermosetting resin layers having a laminated structure formed by coating and baking a thermosetting resin varnish; and wherein, in said laminated structure, an innermost layer having contact with the conductor comprises a thermosetting resin having an imide bond and is a layer having an average thickness of more than 5 m and 10 m or less; a method of producing the insulated wire; a coil; a rotating electrical machine; and an electrical or electronic equipment.

A cable core includes: an internal conductor; a foamed dielectric that includes a fluororesin and is formed on the internal conductor by extrusion molding; and a skin layer that covers the foamed dielectric, and is configured such that a foaming rate of the foamed dielectric is 80% or more, an average foamed cell diameter of the foamed dielectric is 10 m or less, and a standard deviation of a foamed cell diameter of the foamed dielectric is 2.5 or less.

Coated conductors comprising a conductor and a peelable polymeric coating at least partially surrounding the conductor, where the peelable polymeric coating comprises from 1 to 8 microcapillaries which comprise a low-viscosity filler material. Also disclosed are methods for making such coated conductors.

An electric cable, in particular a data cable, has a transmission core which is surrounded by a shield and concentrically surrounded by a sheath that includes an outer layer made of an electrically insulating plastic material and a second layer underneath that is made of a semiconducting material. The semiconducting layer improves the shielding effect.

An opto-electrical cable may include an opto-electrical cable core and a polymer layer surrounding the opto-electrical cable core. The opto-electrical cable core may include a wire, one or more channels extending longitudinally along the wire, and one or more optical fibers extending within each channel. The opto-electrical cable may be made by a method that includes providing a wire having a channel, providing optical fibers within the channel to form an opto-electrical cable core, and applying a polymer layer around the opto-electrical cable core. A multi-component cable may include one or more electrical conductor cables and one or more opto-electrical cables arranged in a coax, triad, quad configuration, or hepta configuration. Deformable polymer may surround the opto-electrical cables and electrical conductor cables.
