Abstract
Abstract An electrical connecting cable having a central coaxial unit around whose outer conductor a layer of conducting wire is placed. Several coaxial units identical to the central unit are wound around the layer of wires, the whole being surrounded by a sheath having an outer cover of an insulating material. Preferably, seven units are wound around the central unit.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
91 words
An electrical connecting cable comprising: a central coaxial unit and a plurality of coaxial units wound around the central coaxial unit, each unit comprising a central conductor, a dielectric surrounding the conductor, and an outer conductor surrounding the dielectric; and an outer cable cover of insulating material, wherein the cable further comprises a helically wound layer of electrically conducting wires disposed around the outer conductor of the central coaxial unit, said helically wound layer providing electrical contact between the outer conductors of said central coaxial and said plurality of coaxial units.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
91 words
An electrical connecting cable comprising: a central coaxial unit and a plurality of coaxial units wound around the central coaxial unit, each unit comprising a central conductor, a dielectric surrounding the conductor, and an outer conductor surrounding the dielectric; and an outer cable cover of insulating material, wherein the cable further comprises a helically wound layer of electrically conducting wires disposed around the outer conductor of the central coaxial unit, said helically wound layer providing electrical contact between the outer conductors of said central coaxial and said plurality of coaxial units.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
A cable as claimed in claim 1 wherein said layer of wires contains at least as many wires as the total number of coaxial units.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
A cable as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2 wherein said outer conductors each consist of a braid of metal wires, and said layer of helically wound wires is bounded by said braids.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
59 words
A cable as claimed in claim 1 or claim 2 wherein said central coaxial unit is circular, said plurality of units consists of seven coaxial units identical to said central coaxial unit, wound together in a single layer, and said wires have a diameter chosen sufficiently large that said layer of wires contacts each of said plurality of units.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
31 words
A cable as claimed in claim 4 wherein said outer conductors each consist of a braid of metal wires, and said layer of helically wound wires is bounded by said braids.
