Abstract
An ignition cable having a resistance wire helically wound around a strength member to form a conductive core. A very thin adhesive layer is applied over the conductive core and is overlaid with a semi-conductive layer of a cross-linked thermosetting material. The cross-linked thermosetting material is extruded over the adhesive layer to form a smooth surface. A layer of insulating material and a protective jacket are applied over the insulating layer. A braid may be added intermediate the insulating layer and the jacket to increase the mechanical strength of the ignition cable.
