Abstract
Abstract A cable which is easily strippable by a transversely-acting pincer. Its sheath has a cross-section including at least two pairs of ribs delimiting longitudinal grooves which face one another in planes intersecting the inside surface of the sheath, but outside the conductors and the earthing leads of the cable.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
82 words
A cable which is easily strippable by a transversely-acting pincer, said cable comprising: a sheath (7) having internally thereof conductors and earthing leads, said sheath totally surrounding said conductors and earthing leads and having a cross-section including at least one pair of ribs (8, 9, 10, 11) delimiting longitudinal grooves (12, 13, 14, 15) which face one another in planes intersecting the inside surface of the sheath, but outside the conductors (1,2) and earthing leads (3, 4; 3A, 4A) of the cable.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
82 words
A cable which is easily strippable by a transversely-acting pincer, said cable comprising: a sheath (7) having internally thereof conductors and earthing leads, said sheath totally surrounding said conductors and earthing leads and having a cross-section including at least one pair of ribs (8, 9, 10, 11) delimiting longitudinal grooves (12, 13, 14, 15) which face one another in planes intersecting the inside surface of the sheath, but outside the conductors (1,2) and earthing leads (3, 4; 3A, 4A) of the cable.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
A cable according to claim 1, wherein the sheath (7) includes two pairs of rigs (8, 9, 10, 11) and two pairs of longitudinal grooves (12, 13, 14, 15) in parallel planes on opposite sides of the cable axis.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
22 words
A cable according to claim 2, wherein the cross-section of the sheath together with its ribs can be inscribed in a square.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
49 words
A cable according to claim 1, wherein said earthing leads are constituted by at least one bare conductor having at least one strand and assembled simultaneously with signal-carrying conductors and disposed in such a manner as to avoid being intersected by the plane of said pair of longitudinal grooves.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
30 words
A cable according to claim 1, wherein the cable includes screening, and wherein the planes of the pair of longitudinal grooves also intersect the screening (5, 6) of the cable.
