Cable and termination for high voltage and high frequency applications
First Claim
1. A cable and termination for high voltage and high frequency current carrying applications comprising:
- an inner conductor including a tubular sheath of braided metallic wire and a cylindrical core of flexible material extending within said sheath and supporting said sheath to prevent reduction in diameter thereof in response to bending and tensile forces applied to said cable;
an outer insulation assembly enclosing said inner conductor and including a conducting layer, spaced from said sheath; and
a termination assembly including socket means, connected to said sheath, for receiving an inner conductor of a complementary termination assembly.

Abstract
A cable and termination for high voltage and high frequency current carrying applications includes an inner conductor having a sheath of braided metallic wire and a cylindrical core of flexible material extending within the sheath and supporting the sheath to prevent reduction in diameter of the sheath in response to tensile forces applied to the cable. The core includes one or more wire filaments connected to bear a portion of tensile forces applied to the cable. The inner conductor is encased in an outer insulation assembly which includes a conducting layer, spaced from the sheath and connected for ground return. The cable includes a termination assembly having a socket, connected to the sheath and wire filaments, for receiving an inner conductor of a complementary termination assembly. The socket includes a shank portion for receiving the pin of a complimentary termination assembly and which is fitted within the outer insulation assembly, and a bell portion which abuts the outer insulation assembly and is attached to the metallic wire sheath.
