A method for manufacturing a composite cable comprises providing a number of electrical conductors which are each covered by insulation, providing a number of fibres for strength, coating the fibres with a liquid thermosetting or thermoplastic resin to form a fibre-resin matrix comprising a number of resin-coated fibres, combining the resin-coated fibres and the conductors to form the cable, and pulling the resultant cable through a curing station to cure the fibre-resin matrix. Before the curing station, the resin-coated fibres are passed through a pre-shaper stage where the fibres are arranged with an orientation parallel to each other and to the conductors and are guided through two guiding plates and at least one pre-shaper element.
