Abstract: A multi-conductor screened electric cable in which each conductor may be connected in parallel to an elelctrical contact without having to break the cable. Such connections are made in predetermined zones of the cable. All of the conductors of the predetermined zones are parallel and lie in a plane. In addition to its insulated conductors, the cable includes an uninsulated conductor element (5) providing electrical continuity for its screening (6), and also making it possible to make an electrical contact with the screening. The insulated conductors (3, 4) and the uninsulated conductor element (8) are disposed at predetermined accurate distances relative to one another. The cable is particularly suitable for computer networks.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a flexible electric cable constituted by a polymer-coated stranded conductor made up of fine strands of aluminum or aluminum alloy having a diameter of less than 0.5 mm, or constituted by one or more insulated conductors surrounded by an electric screen itself constituted by fine strands of aluminum or aluminum alloy having a diameter of less than 0.5 mm and wrapped or braided about the conductor(s). The screen is surrounded by at least one insulating layer of polymer material, wherein the operation of stranding together the fine strands forming the conductor or of wrapping or braiding the strands surrounding the insulated conductor(s) and forming the electric screen is performed by using fine strands which are not annealed or which are only partially annealed, with the stranded conductor or the wrapped or braided electric screen then being covered with insulation and subjected to at least one final annealing operation.
