A cable of the disclosure may include insulated conductors arranged in a spaced apart generally coplanar configuration, a jacket encapsulating the insulated conductors and having a generally rounded rectangular cross-section and at least one spline along a minor edge of the jacket and at least one channel along a major edge, and an armor layer applied about the jacket.

A electrical cable is disclosed that comprises at least one conductor having primary insulation; an outer jacket covering at least a portion of the at least one conductor, the outer jacket comprising at least one flame-retardant; where the electrical cable meets food contact compliance and flame resistance. A method of imparting food contact compliance together with flame resistance to an electrical cable is also disclosed.

A sealing assembly for sealing a bundle of wires includes a first sheet formed of a sealant material, a second sheet disposed above the first sheet, and a third sheet disposed above the second sheet formed of the sealant material. The second sheet includes a thermally conductive material. When the bundle of wires is overlaid on the assembly in a first direction, and the assembly is wrapped in a second direction that is generally perpendicular to the first to thereby surround the wires, the second sheet facilitates enhanced thermal energy distribution of applied heat throughout the assembly to thereby more uniformly melt the sealant material and thereby fill voids between the wires.

An electric power transmission cable comprises electric power conductors and a plurality of parallel spiralled armouring wires. The electric power transmission cable comprises along its length a first section (I), a second section (III) and a transition section (II). The transition section (II) is provided between the first section (I) and the second section (III).

The transition section (II) ends at the last weld (130) between a first armouring wire (121) and an austenitic steel wire (123). The transition section (II) is at least 10 meter long.

A terminal-equipped electrical wire including: a terminal fitting; an electrical wire that includes a conductor surrounded by an insulation covering and is electrically connected to the terminal fitting in an electrical connection; and a resin cover that is made of a resin material and covers the electrical connection, wherein the resin cover is in contact with the insulation covering, a tensile shear adhesion strength between the resin cover and the insulation covering is 0.7 MPa or higher, and a breaking elongation ratio of the resin cover is 30% or higher.

A method for rejuvenating a strand-blocked cable having a conductor comprised of a plurality of conductor strands with interstitial volume therebetween blocked by a PIB based mastic, the conductor being surrounded by a polymeric cable insulation. The method comprising installing injection adapters that seal the cable ends of the cable and are usable to inject fluid into the interstitial volume between the conductor strands of the cable; elastically expanding the polymeric cable insulation through the application of pressure to the interstitial volume between the conductor strands of the cable; and injecting at least one injection fluid in which the PIB based mastic is at least partially soluble into the interstitial volume between the conductor strands of the cable. To facilitate elastic deformation of the polymeric cable insulation, the cable may be heated to and maintained at a temperature of T1 above ambient during the injection.

Disclosed is an electrical cable for vertical applications, comprising a core having a length L, a sheath surrounding the core and extending through the whole length L and a reinforcing jacket surrounding the sheath and in direct contact therewith. The reinforcing jacket is made of concentric layers comprising a first layer longitudinally extending from a first cable end (the proximal or upper cable end, in use) towards a second cable end (the distal or lower cable end, in use) substantially along the whole length L. The reinforcing jacket also comprises at least one further layer longitudinally extending from the first cable end towards the second cable end for a length shorter than L. At least one layer of the reinforcing jacket is a circumferentially closed metal tube. Also disclosed is a process for manufacturing such cable.
