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.
