The present invention concerns hybrid layered cables some of which can be used to reinforce at least one crown protection ply of tyres for heavy vehicles or earthmovers, and others to reinforce the beads of tyres for light motorised vehicles such as motorcycles. The invention also concerns a composite fabric usable as a crown protection ply of such heavy vehicles or earthmovers, and a bead wire designed to reinforce the said beads and the aforesaid tyres. A hybrid layered cable (C) according to the invention comprises a non-metallic internal layer (C<SUB>i</SUB>) and an unsaturated external layer (C<SUB>e</SUB>) comprising strands (T) each of which is at least in part metallic and which are wound in helix around the said internal layer, the said cable having a relative elongation at break At, measured in tension in accordance with the standard ISO 6892 of 1984, which is higher than 7%. According to another aspect of the invention, the said internal layer is composed of at least one material having a relative elongation at break Ar at 20° C. in excess of 6%.
