A hybrid cable applicable in oil wells is disclosed, comprising a FIMT, a conductor layer formed by continuous laser welding and cylindrically covered the outer surface of the FIMT, the outer cylindrical surface of the conductor layer being covered with a high temperature resistant insulating layer by a continuous extrusion method or by wrapped helically with insulating tapes around the outer surface of the conductor layer and the external steel tube cylindrically covered the outer surface of the insulating layer. The conductor layer is coaxial with the FIMT, the inner space of the hybrid cable to accommodating excess length of the optical fiber for thermal expansions or the tensile stress of the optical cable. The thickness of the insulating layer cylindrically covered the outer surface of the conductor layer can be increased, thereby improving the insulating property. A method of manufacturing such hybrid cable is disclosed.

In an insulated wire for electromagnetic forming, both of insulation performance and thinning of an insulating member that covers a wire of a coil are realized. A manufacturing method of the insulated wire for electromagnetic forming includes: winding an insulating tape around a wire to insulate the wire by multiple layers of the insulating tape; and winding the insulated wire to form a coil for electromagnetic forming. The insulating tape is wound such that ends of the adjacent insulating tapes on a wire side in a tape width direction do not overlap each other.
