CONTINUOUSLY BONDED SMALL-DIAMETER CABLE WITH ELECTRICAL RETURN ON OUTER WIRES.

摘要

A small-diameter, continuously bonded cable and a method for manufacturing the same includes at least one longitudinally extending inner metallic component with a tie layer of an amended polymer material surrounding and bonded thereto in steps of heating and extruding. A longitudinally extending outer metallic component is radially spaced from the at least one inner metallic component and incased in a polymer material jacket layer in heating and extruding steps. The polymer materials insulate the metallic component for conducting electrical power and/or data signals.
