ABSTRACT:
An electrical cable is provided wherein a conducting member is surrounded by an insulator. Around the insulator is a shielding element which is configured such that a pressure sensitive or heat fusible adhesive is placed on a top surface of the shielding tape in a parallel, nested serpentine pattern. The shielding tape is positioned so that it surrounds the insulator and has an overlap of its top surface with its bottom surface. Due to the parallel serpentine adhesive pattern between the top surface and the bottom surface in the overlap, an effective seal against moisture is achieved, independent of the width of the individual adhesive strips. Similarly, contact between the metallic portion of the top surface and the metallic bottom surface achieves a barrier to electrical and electromagnetic interference within the electrical cable. The serpentine adhesive layer also functions to securely connect the shielding tape to the insulator.
