Cables having buffer elements formed with two-dimensional fillers are described. A cable may include at least one optical fiber, and a buffer element may be formed around the at least one optical fiber. The buffer element may be formed from a material that includes a polypropylene-containing polymeric resin, a filler added to the polymeric resin that includes a plurality of two-dimensional particles, and an amphiphilic compatabilizer. A jacket may be formed around the at least one optical fiber and the buffer element.

A support for a busbar including two parts each having two surfaces substantially planar and perpendicular to one another and arranged to form, together with the two surfaces of the other part from the two parts, a through-cavity or a passage, a base including a hole or a fastener, and, a shape complementary to a shape of the other of the two parts, the shape being arranged to form, together with the shape of the other of the two parts, an attachment between the two parts. Advantageously, it is possible to obtain a support for a busbar, the support being robust, reliable, and inexpensive and able to be mounted in an easy and rapid manner.

A method for producing a current conducting device, a junction box for a vehicle battery, and a motor vehicle having a corresponding junction box. In the method, multiple busbars are positioned in a predetermined location in relation to one another and then enclosed using an electrically insulating plastic cladding. In this case, a respective opening of the plastic cladding is left open in a respective connection region, in each of which at least two of the busbars meet one another. The busbars are then welded to one another in a respective region of the opening.
