An exposed terminal for a wire conductor, and a process for preparing the exposed terminal includes executing, via a mechanical device, a mechanical ablation process to remove the insulative material from an outer surface of the plurality of square edges along a predefined length of the portion of the wire conductor. The process also includes executing, via a laser tool, a laser ablation process to remove the insulative material from the first pair of opposed faces along the predefined length of the portion of the wire conductor; and executing, via the laser tool, the laser ablation process to remove the insulative material from the second pair of opposed faces along the predefined length of the portion of the wire conductor.

An electrical transmission line cable suited for a variety of applications, including as a fishing line in a video fishing system. The electrical transmission line cable has a first conductor and a second conductor forming an electrical transmission line; a jacket containing the first conductor and the second conductor; and a transmission line primary dielectric element separating the first conductor and the second conductor, wherein the primary dielectric element is at least one of textile yarns, fiber yarns, or monofilaments. The electrical transmission line may be in a balanced configuration or an unbalanced configuration.

A capacitive power transmission cable, having at least two sets of conductive strands, the sets of strands being insulated from each other and in capacitive relationship, the one with the other: wherein the conductive strands are laid at least substantially in a multiples of six layer structure, with substantially equal numbers of strands of both sets; each layer has strands of one set alternating with strands of the other set; and the strands of the respective sets have different contrasting color.

The present invention relates to the technical field of subsea power cables. More specifically, the invention relates to a subsea power cable comprising at least one cable core, the cable core comprising a metal conductor, the metal conductor comprising at least one metal wire, wherein a section of the at least one metal wire along the longitudinal direction is surrounded with a material of low electrical conductivity.
