A cable is specified, specifically for a signal line, which extends in a longitudinal direction and which includes an inner conductor and also an outer conductor. Between the inner conductor and the outer conductor there is formed an insulating material which surrounds the inner conductor and which has a surface that has been at least partially carbonized. Furthermore, a production method for such a line is specified.

Disclosed is an armored cable assembly including a core having a notched assembly tape about a plurality of conductors. A metal sheath surrounds the core.
