Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a cable including the following steps: Manufacturing of a cable with an electrical conductor which comprises at least one part consisting of a cross-linkable polymer; coiling of said cable to form a bunch; treating of said bunch under process conditions, which cause a cross linking of the cross-linkable polymer. The invention further relates to an apparatus for manufacturing a cable, which comprises at least one element formed by a cross-linkable polymer, including: A polymer applying device by which said polymer component is put on, put into or led in any other manner to the cable; a coiling device by which said cable, that was supplied with a cross-linkable polymer, is coiled to form a bunch; a bunch treatment device in which said bunch is treated under predetermined process conditions which at least partially cause the cross-linking of said cross-linkable polymer component.

Abstract: In order to insure a constantly superior shielding effect for a high-frequency cable over a broad frequency range, the shield consists of a metal foil (3) which is shaped to form a tube and extends axially parallel as well as a number of electrically conductive wires (4) which are connected electrically with the foil (4) and in essence also extend axially parallel. A high-frequency cable constructed in this fashion is protected from interference over a broad frequency range and has a high tolerance against electromagnetic interference. A HF line of this type is particularly suitable as an antenna line, in particular in motor vehicles.
