Abstract

Abstract A water-tight rubber or plastic insulated cable includes water-tight compound which is injected into apertures among stranded wires for a conductor. The stranded conductor is compressed to have a solidity factor of 85 to 95% of the conductor. The water-tight compound is injected into the apertures among the stranded wires except for an outermost surface of the conductor. The water-tight compound has a scorch time of more than 20 minutes under a temperature of 130 DEG C. and includes conductive carbon of 50 to 60 weight %.
