Abstract
In order to improve a cable, comprising an inner cable body, in which electrical conductor strands run in the longitudinal direction of the cable, a cable sheath, enclosing the inner cable body and lying between an outer surface of the cable and the inner cable body, and at least one information carrier unit, disposed within the outer surface of the cable, to increase the range of communication between the information carrier unit and the read/write device, it is proposed to provide the information carrier unit having an antenna unit, which can be coupled with a read/write device by parasitic electromagnetic fields between the antenna unit and at least two of the electrical conductor strands of the inner cable body.

73. Method of communication between a read/write device and an information carrier unit which is disposed in a cable, between an outer surface of the cable and an inner cable body of the cable, the inner cable body having at least two electrical conductor strands running in the longitudinal direction of the cable, an excitation of the two electrical conductor strands taking place by means of the read/write device and the two electrical conductor strands being coupled with an antenna unit of the information carrier unit by means of parasitic electromagnetic fields.
