Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
129 words
An electrical cable comprising: a. multiple strands of conductors, said conductors individually insulated electrically from one another; b. said multiple strands wrapped with a composite laminate comprising a film of flexible dielectric material, said film having an inner surface contiguous wIth said multiple strands, and an outer surface; c. said outer surface of said film bonded to a porous nonwoven material having a maximum bulk density of one-half of the material from which it is formed; d. said dielectric material having a maximum dielectric constant of 3.5 measured at room temperature and 1 kc., and a dissipation factor in the range of 0.02 to 1.5 percent; e. a corrugated aluminum shield disposed circumferentially about said composite laminate; and f. a polyolefin insulating cover disposed externally of said aluminum shield.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
