The semiconducting tape may include a nonwoven sheet and a semiconductive composition disposed on the nonwoven sheet. The semiconductive composition may include a resin or a polymer and a conductive material disposed in the resin or the polymer. The nonwoven sheet may include a first plurality of fibers and a second plurality of fibers, wherein the first plurality of fibers is different than the second plurality of fibers. The semiconducting tape may have a penetration resistance of less than 5% or a penetration resistance of about 400 Newtons (N) or greater.

An aerospace cable that limits the occurrence of partial discharges includes an elongate electrically conductive element surrounded by a semiconductor layer and an insulation system around the semiconductor layer. This insulation system has an electrically insulating layer surrounding the semiconductor layer. Each layer of the insulation system has a radial thickness (ei . . . ), and in that an equivalent insulation thickness (teq) of this insulation system is greater than or equal to the result of a third-degree polynomial function equation of a minimum pressure and of a maximum temperature at which the cable is intended to be used.
