The present disclosure provides insulated electrical conductors, e.g., wires, and methods for producing such insulated electrical conductors to combat partial discharge by enhancing bond strength between the electrical conductor and a base insulating thermoplastic layer (e.g., including a PAEK). Such insulated electrical conductors can include: an electrical conductor; an insulating coating on at least a portion of a surface of the electrical conductor; and an oxide layer between the electrical conductor and the insulating coating. Methods for producing such insulated electrical conductors can involve extrusion of an insulating polymer onto the electrical conductor under ambient atmosphere and a subsequent heat treatment step, which can also be conducted under ambient atmosphere.

A cable signal transmission system according to the present disclosure includes a differential driver to generate a differential signal between a positive phase signal and a negative phase signal from a signal inputted to the differential driver, a splitter to split the positive phase signal into two or more split positive phase signals, and to split the negative phase signal into two or more split negative phase signals, and a multi-core cable having four or more cores and connected to the splitter, to separately transmit each of the signals after the splitting by the splitter. In the multi-core cable, each of the following inner cables: two or more inner cables via which the split positive phase signals are transmitted and two or more inner cables via which the split negative phase signals are transmitted is disposed contiguously.
