A flat cable comprises a series of parallel electrical conductors (1 to 6) each carrying a spiral-wound tape insulation layer (30). The conductors are held together by braiding formed of a plurality of tapes (10 to 22) or fibres interwoven between the conductors. The braiding is preferably of a thermoplastic material which may be heat bonded to the insulation in order to set the cable in a desired shape e.g. for a wiring loom. The insulation and braiding is preferably formed from a mixture of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and perfluoro(propylvinylether).
