A metal element and a plastic element in a cable are securely bonded together by means of an adhesive thermoplastic polymer comprising a copolymer of ethylene and an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid such as acrylic acid. The metal element can be in the form of a tape or metal strip of aluminum having one or both sides coated with or laminated to the adhesive thermoplastic polymer. The tape including the coated or laminated adhesive thermoplastic polymer is disposed within a cable at the desired location such that the adhesive thermoplastic polymer forms a strong bond with an adjacent element in the cable.
