Abstract

A rubber article has a body consisting of rubber and a reinforcement structure with cables embedded in the rubber body. The cables have at least one inner layer with at least one first filament wherein at least one first filament consists of a metallic alloy. The outermost layer has second filaments embedded adhesively in the rubber body. All of the first and second filaments that consist of a metallic alloy are coated with a corrosion-protective coating. The corrosion-protective coating for at least one of the first filaments consists of an intrinsically conductive polymer.
