Communications cable with at least one added screening foil

摘要

The method involves shaping the foil (FO1) into an elongated foil tube about the cable product (KS) and applying it to the cable with longitudinally lying strip edges (BK11,BK12). These are fixed together using longitudinally spaced fixings (FI1-FIn), and the edges remain unconnected between the fixings. The fixings can be effected using adhesive, melt welding or laser welding. The foil can be an electromagnetic and/or an electrostatic screening foil. Each foil can be formed into a longitudinal tube about the cable with overlapping strip edges.
