Disclosed are cable types, including a type THHN cable, the cable types having a reduced surface coefficient of friction, and the method of manufacture thereof, in which the central conductor core and insulating layer are surrounded by a material containing nylon or thermosetting resin. A silicone based pulling lubricant for said cable, or alternatively, erucamide or stearyl erucamide for small cable gauge wire, is incorporated, by alternate methods, with the resin material from which the outer sheath is extruded, and is effective to reduce the required pulling force between the formed cable and a conduit during installation.

A colored adhesive tape (1), in particular a yellow, orange-colored, or black adhesive tape (1), preferably a cable wrapping tape, with a temperature class of at least T3 (LV 312), including a textile substrate with a polymer plastic substrate (4, 4a, 4b), on which an adhesive material (5, 5a, 5b) is applied. In order to improve the temperature stability of the tape, while maintaining advantageous properties, the color of at least a part of the substrate (4, 4a, 4b) is formed by the inherent color of the polymer plastic material. The tape is preferably substrate formed of a polymer plastic materials which are aromatic, nitrogen-containing polymers from the group of polyoxadiazoles (POD), polybenzobisoxazoles (PBO) or polybenzimidazoles (PBI) (4, 4a, 4b). The adhesive tape (1) may be used as a cable harness (3).

A communications cable is provided that includes a pair of twisted pair of wires, each coated with a fluoropolymer insulator. The twisted pair of wires is configured to carry a differential signal, such as a differential data signal and/or a differential power signal. The fluoropolymers are highly effective insulators and significantly reduce both the effects of internal and external electromagnetic interference while maintaining low cable attenuation, even when operating within a temperature range of-40° C. to 150° C.
