Abstract

A shielded cable includes a core comprising an insulated wire including an inner conductor and an insulation layer formed on an outer periphery of the inner conductor, a shield layer formed on an outer periphery of the core, and a jacket layer formed on an outer periphery of the shield layer. The shield layer includes a stranded conductor shield layer including a stranded conductor spirally wound around the core, and the stranded conductor includes a plurality of conductor strands stranded together. The shield layer may further include a tinsel copper braided shield layer or a metal plated strand braided shield layer that is formed between the core and the stranded conductor shield layer.

Claims (19)

1. A shielded cable, comprising:

a core comprising an insulated wire comprising an inner conductor and an insulation layer formed on an outer periphery of the inner conductor;

a shield layer formed on an outer periphery of the core; and

a jacket layer formed on an outer periphery of the shield layer,

wherein the shield layer comprises a stranded conductor shield layer comprising a stranded conductor wire spirally wound around the core, and

wherein the stranded conductor wire comprises a plurality of conductor strands twisted together.

2. The shielded cable according to claim 1 , wherein the shield layer further comprises a tinsel copper braided shield layer that is formed between the core and the stranded conductor shield layer and includes a plurality of braided copper tinsels each of which comprises a core thread and a copper foil wrapped thereon.

3. The shielded cable according to claim 1 , wherein the shield layer further comprises a metal plated strand braided shield layer that is formed between the core and the stranded conductor shield layer and includes a plurality of braided metal plated strands each of which comprises a core thread plated with a metal.

4. The shielded cable according to claim 1 , wherein a winding angle defined by the stranded conductor wire and a central axis of the core is 10° to 80° when the stranded conductor wire is spirally wound around the outer periphery of the core.

5. The shielded cable according to claim 1 , wherein a winding angle defined by the stranded conductor wire and a central axis of the core is 30° to 80° when the stranded conductor wire is spirally wound around the outer periphery of the core.

6. The shielded cable according to claim 1 , further comprising a reinforcing braided layer that is formed between the shield layer and the jacket layer and comprises braided shock-absorbing fibers.

7. The shielded cable according to claim 1 , wherein the stranded conductor wire further comprises a lubricant applied to the plurality of conductor strands.

8. The shielded cable according to claim 7 , wherein the lubricant comprises silicon oil.

9. The shielded cable according to claim 1 , wherein the jacket layer consists of ethylene propylene diene rubber.

10. The shielded cable according to claim 1 , wherein the jacket layer comprises ethylene propylene diene rubber.

11. The shielded cable according to claim 1 , wherein the shield layer further comprises a tinsel copper braided shield layer that comprises a plurality of braided copper tinsels each of which comprises a core thread and a copper foil wrapped thereon.

12. The shielded cable according to claim 1 , wherein the shield layer further comprises a metal plated strand braided shield layer that comprises a plurality of braided metal plated strands each of which comprises a core thread plated with a metal.

13. The shielded cable according to claim 1 , wherein the conductor strands comprise twisted metal wires.

14. The shielded cable according to claim 1 , wherein a portion of the outer periphery of the core is exposed between spirally wound sections of the stranded conductor wire.
