PCT No. PCT/FR84/00157 Sec. 371 Date Feb. 21, 1985 Sec. 102(e) Date Feb. 21, 1985 PCT Filed Jun. 21, 1984 PCT Pub. No. WO85/00245 PCT Pub. Date Jan. 17, 1985.The invention encompasses an electric cable which is made up of a metallic shield, a semiconducting polymer sheath surrounding a cable conductor and a moistureproofing layer in the form of a semiconducting hydrophobic gel. This construction assures an effective moisture barrier between the metallic shield and the semiconducting polymer layer by providing a semiconducting gel fully compatible with both.
