A cable for electric power transmission, electric power distribution or telecommunications, having an inner layer including a self-repairing material. The self-repairing material has properties including a predetermined cohesiveness and a controlled flowability. In the event of a discontinuity in at least one of the cable coating layers, these properties assist in reestablishing the continuity of the cable coating layers.
