Abstract
In order to improve a cable, comprising an inner cable body, in which at least one conductor strand of an optical and/or electrical conductor runs in the longitudinal direction of the cable, a cable sheath, enclosing the inner cable body and lying between an outer surface of the cable and the inner cable body, and at least one information carrier unit, disposed within the outer surface of the cable, in such a way that said information carrier unit can be easily applied during the production of the cable and is positioned in a protected and reliable manner in the cable, it is proposed that the information carrier unit can be read by electromagnetic field coupling and that the information carrier unit is disposed on an intermediate sheath lying between the inner cable body and an outer cable sheath.
