The line core has at least one conductor surrounded at least by insulation and is surrounded by a multi-layer shielding foil, which has a non-conductive layer and a conductive layer.

The conductive connection is formed optionally as a conductive strip and/or by a beveled end edge. In particular, the data line is a data line shielded exclusively via the shielding foil. The data line is used in particular in a motor-vehicle electrical system.

Abstract: Fire-resistant coaxial cables are described as well as methods to manufacture them. The dielectric between the coax cable's central conductor and outer coaxial conductor ceramify under high heat, such as those specified by common fire test standards (e.g., 1850° F./1010° C. for two hours). The dielectric can be composed of ceramifiable silicone rubber, such as that having a polysiloxane matrix with inorganic flux and refractory particles. Because thick layers of uncured ceramifiable silicone rubber deform under their own weight when curing, multiple thinner layers are coated and serially cured in order to build up the required thickness. A sacrificial sheath mold is used to hold each layer of uncured ceramifiable silicone rubber in place around the central conductor while curing. The outer conductor can be a metal foil, metal braid, and/or corrugated metal.
