1. A method of coating an elongate, uncoated conductive element with a substantially continuous barrier layer, comprising:

  • positioning the uncoated conductive element around a plurality of spaced rods;

    depositing a barrier material on the conductive element to form an intermediate layer having uncoated gaps therein located where the conductive element contacts the rods;

    moving the coated conductive element relative to the frame following deposition of the intermediate layer such that the uncoated gaps are not in contact with the rods;

    depositing a barrier material on the conductive element to form the substantially continuous barrier layer; and

    removing the conductive element from the frame.
