Abstract
An electrical cable of all textile construction includes a first conductor of conductive textile material, a first insulator of braided insulating textile material, a second conductor of braided conductive textile material and a second insulator of braided insulating textile material. Such a cable, through being of an all textile construction makes it particularly suitable for incorporation in items such as garments, fashion accessories, upholstered article and other soft furnishings as it can be made very flexible, soft to the touch and of a required color. Furthermore, by making the cables using textile materials that have been developed for use in garments, the cables are capable of being subjected to standard garment care techniques such as machine washing in the home or dry cleaning. This means items, such as garments, that include these cables can be placed in the washing machine for cleaning, with no added risk to the wire, garment or washing machine.
