This invention relates to an energy conducting cable assembly. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, the assembly comprises a conductor covered by at least one layer of insulation, and a longitudinally welded corrugated brass sheath formed about the insulation so as to effect a hermetic seal about the conductor. The cable has an ampacity and fault carrying capacity which approximates that of a cable having a like diameter sheath of chemical lead. The sheath preferably has a corrugation pitch to corrugation depth ratio of less than about 3.75 and an outside sheath diameter to sheath wall thickness ratio of greater than about 100.
