Abstract

The invention is directed to a woven electrical transmission cable formed with cut zones, body zones and an identification tracer. The cable is formed of an array of longitudinally extending insulated conductor warp wires arranged side by side. A plurality of longitudinally extending synthetic yarns arranged to be substantially parallel with and substantially adjacent one edge of the array of conductive wires. The synthetic yarns are colored a color which distinguishes from the color of the conductor wires. A weft yarn is woven with the array of conductor wires and the synthetic yarns to form the body zone. The weft yarn weaves only with the synthetic yarns to form the cut zones which are arranged in spaced manner longitudinally of the cable. The conductor wires weave with the weft yarn in a two up two down twill weave to form the body zones.
