<p>A method for thermally and mechanically protecting cables and cable harnesses with a sheath braided directly around the element to be protected by means of a braiding thread made of a number of basic strands formed by twisting together synthetic fibres produced by cracking and spinning an aramid fibre and a carbonisable oxidised organic fibre. The carbonisable oxidised organic fibre forms most of the synthetic fibres in the basic strand of the braiding thread. The resulting thermal and mechanical cable and cable harness protection sheath is also disclosed. Some of the mechanical or thermal properties of said sheath may be improved by combining an additional thread material with said two synthetic fibres to form the basic strands, or by covering the braided sheath with a complementary aramid fibre-based braid.</p> |
