Abstract

In the method for manufacturing a cable (CA1), the individual leads (AD1 through ADn) are supplied to a stranding apparatus (RE, RA) that produces a stranded bundle (SB1), whereby the material (MMA1) for the cable cladding (MA1) is applied onto the stranded bundle (SB1) produced in this way with an extruder head (EK1), and the stranding point for the stranding lies in the region of the extruder head (EK1). The individual leads (AD1 through ADn) are already brought into contact with the material (MMA1) for the cable cladding (MA1) when or before they have just been completely stranded to form the stranded bundle (SB1).
