Claim 9
Dependent Claim
166 words
An electric cable comprising: A. a metallic conductor, B. an inner layer of rubber-based insulating composition surrounding said conductor, said composition having a 100 percent modulus at 130* C of at least 50 percent of the 100 percent modulus of said composition at 25* C, C. an outer layer of vulcanized polymer-based insulating composition surrounding said inner layer, a. said outer layer bonding to said inner layer, b. said outer layer composition having a 100 percent modulus at room temperature substantially higher than the 100 percent modulus at room temperature of said iNner layer composition, c. said outer layer composition having a 100 percent modulus at 130* C substantially lower than said 100 percent modulus at 130* C of said inner layer composition, and d. the modulus at 130* C of said outer layer composition not exceeding one-third of the modulus at 25* C of said outer layer composition, and e. said inner and said outer layers together totaling at least 250 mils in radial thickness.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
25 words
