Abstract

A multi conductor (L) arrangement for transferring energy and/or data. The system contains a plurality of conductor elements (1i) respectively comprising a conductor (1A) which is surrounded by an insulation (2) and an insulating sleeve (3), the conductor elements being mechanically connected to each other. Elements (12) for contacting the conductive elements are also provided. The system is provided with a flexible tubular or pipe-shaped support (10) made of an insulating material having a maximum thickness (D) of 1 mm, the conductive elements (1I) are arranged on the inside wall of the support, and the insulating sleeves (3) of the conductive elements have a respective thickness (d) which is at the most equal to the thickness (D) of the support. A thermoplastic elastomer is preferably used as an insulating material.
