The present disclosure includes a cable for a patient monitoring system. The cable can have a flexible and durable overall construction that enables the cable to withstand repeated winding and unwinding and prevent kinks from developing. The cable may include multiple bundles encased in inner jackets that reduce the amount of friction against other cable elements and allows the bundle to move more freely inside an outer jacket of the cable. The multiple bundles may include multiple wires or cords. The cable can include a flexible core that runs through the middle of the cable. The multiple bundles can be twisted, weaved, or untwisted around the core.

A cable that may withstand an increased pulling load may include a plurality of twisted pairs of individually insulated conductors and a metallic pulling element positioned within an outer jacket layer. The metallic pulling element may longitudinally extend parallel to the twisted pairs, and the pulling element may have an elastic modulus greater than that of the twisted pair conductors. As a result of incorporating the metallic pulling element, the cable can withstand a pulling force of 330N with an elongation of less than 0.20 percent.

A cable may include an inner conductor and an outer conductor coaxially arranged around the inner conductor. A dielectric strength member may be positioned between the inner and outer conductors. The dielectric strength member may have a thickness between 0.1 mm and 50 mm and a tensile strength of at least 5,000 MPa. Additionally, a jacket may be formed around the outer conductor.

The invention relates to a method for the production of a conductive micro-wire from carbon nanotubes by means of carbonization, and the uses thereof in electro-chemical processes and devices, for example, as electrodes in electrical generators. The invention can be included in the field of manufacturing nanomaterials and carbon nanotubes, as well as electrodes for electro-chemical processes and electrical conductors.
