Abstract

The disclosure relates to a cable, which is adapted to extend in an initial configuration according to a predetermined initial state and in a deformed configuration to assume a deformed state compared with the initial state, wherein the cable has a sheath arrangement, which extends along a longitudinal axis of the cable at least in sections, wherein the sheath arrangement is adapted to change its impedance according to the initial or deformed configuration of the cable. The disclosure likewise relates to an arrangement comprising a cable and a measuring unit as well as a method for detecting a deformed configuration of a cable.
