An electrical cable having at least one core including a conductor and an
insulation surrounding the conductor and having at least two insulation
layers. A first one of the layers is a silicone rubber compound and a
second one of the layers is an
ethylene(C.sub.2)-alkylene(C.sub.x)-copolymer or terpolymer mixture
adapted to have properties corresponding to those of a
hardgrade-ethylene-propylene-rubber (H-EPR). The second layer can be a
hardgrade-EPR. Such a cable construction in particular enables reduction
of the cable diameter while still being capable of sustaining a burn test
according to DIN 4102 Section.
