The invention relates to an electrical cable for supplying aircraft and similar devices with alternating current having at least partially higher frequencies of preferably 400 Hz. The cable is provided with a central neutral and/or return conductor (1) and at least six phase conductors (2a, 2b, 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b) arranged in a concentrically distributed manner about same, wherein every phase is distributed on two symmetrically opposing phase conductors (2a, 2b, 3a, 3b or 4a, 4b). The neutral and/or return conductor (1) is formed, in a very space-saving manner and with low inductivity, by preferably six individually insulated compact neutral wires (16), the total cross-section of which approximately corresponds to the cross-section of an individual solid neutral wire. In this way, with six-fold redundancy, the risk of a neutral wire failure is reduced, without diminishing the electrical properties with the inductive voltage drop.

A communication cable (1) including a twisted wire pair (5) formed by twisting signal wires (2) each including an insulating layer (4) that covers a conductor (3), and an outer sheath (7) that accommodates the twisted wire pair (5). The communication cable is characterized in that the twisted wire pair (5) includes a pair of signal wires (2) and a pair of filler cords (6), and the signal wires (2) and the filler cords (6) are twisted together such that the signal wires (2) and the filler cords (6) are alternately arranged side by side.

A cable is composed of a cable core including one or more electric wires, a braided shield covering a periphery of the cable core and including braided metal wires, a sheath covering a periphery of the braided shield, and a cushion layer provided between the cable core and the braided shield. The cushion layer is composed of a braid including braided linear shape fiber yarns.
