Abstract: A Metal-Clad cable includes at least two conductor assemblies and a non-linear bonding/grounding conductor within a metal sheath. Each conductor assembly has an electrical conductor, an insulation layer extending around and along the length of each of the electrical conductors, a jacket layer disposed around the insulating layer and a polymeric protective layer disposed around the jacket layer along the length of each of the electrical conductors. The bonding/grounding conductor includes a plurality of undulations disposed along a length thereof, and is disposed within the metal sheath so that it is in contact with an interior surface of the metal sheath. The bonding/grounding conductor is in cabled relation with the conductor assemblies. The undulations of the bonding/grounding conductor provide a degree of resiliency to the connection between the conductors and the metal sheath to facilitate easy removal of the metal sheath when making terminal connections.

Abstract: An improved electrical conduit having a protective material thereon for anti-microbial and antifungal prevention. The metallic conduit includes a metal armor defining an outer surface and an interior hollow area within which electrical conductors are disposed. A first polymeric layer is formed over the outer surface of the metal armor. A second polymeric layer is extruded over the first polymeric layer. The first and/or second polymeric layers may be formed with an anti-microbial and/or anti-fungal additive. In addition, the first polymeric layer may have a first color and the second polymeric layer may have a second color where the first color is different from the second layer sufficient for the first color to be visible when the second polymeric layer is compromised.

Abstract: Improved electrical cables employ a protective material thereon for antimicrobial prevention. The electrical cable is formed by a metallic strip helically wound with interlocking edges to define an armor having an inner hollow area within which is housed a plurality of electrical conductors. The armor is treated with a coating which may be used for corrosion protection. The coating is treated with an antimicrobial and/or antifungal additive inhibiting the proliferating or these microorganisms on the cable.

Abstract: Armored cable sheath is coded for easy visual identification by applying patterns, e.g., colored patterns, along the length of the cable. The sheath may be formed of a helically interlocked continuous strip of metal, or of smooth or corrugated continuous metal tubing. The patterns are applied on the outer surface of the sheath and are repeated along the length of the sheath.
