Abstract
Lightweight composite electrical conductors made up of a plastic matrix or plastic core, a plurality of electrical conductors either embedded within the plastic matrix or circumferentially surrounding an outer surface of the plastic core, and at least one insulating layer, as well as, cables incorporating one or more of these conductors, are provided. The inventive composite conductors and cables are particularly useful for automotive and aircraft wire and cable.
