Abstract: An electrical power cable has an outer semi-conductive layer extruded around and in contact with an outermost layer of a cable jacket. The jacket may have a plurality of polymeric layers. The semi-conductive layer is distinguishable from the outermost layer of the jacket immediately underneath it by at least color and possibly also texture. The distinguishable characteristics between the semi-conductive layer and the outermost layer of the jacket decrease the risk of inadvertent damage to the jacket when removing the semi-conductive layer for jacket integrity tests.

Abstract: A cable clamp for securing an electrical cable to a support structure has two substantially similar half-shells, each half-shell including a concave inner surface terminating in a pair of abutting surfaces. The half-shells further include a pair of winged flanges offset a distance from the abutting surfaces. The lower half-shell can first be secured to a support structure using a pair of elongate members passing through the winged flanges of the lower half-shell and a plurality of fastening members. A cable can then be placed within a cable receiving region of the lower half-shell and the top half-shell can be secured to the lower half-shell, applying a clamping force to the cable without interference from the fastening members used to secure the lower half-shell to the support structure.
