A cable (10) having a metallic inner conductor (11), a dielectric material (12) surrounding the inner conductor (11) and a metallic outer conductor or sheath (14), comprises corrosion inhibiting adhesive (20, 20', 22) disposed at the interface between at least one of the metallic conductors (11, 14) and the dielectric (12). The adhesive composition (20, 20', 22) comprises a pulyfunctional siiane compound reacted with the metallic surface of the conductor (11, 14) and providing corrosion resistance thereto while also promoting bonding between the conductor (11, 14) and the dielectric (12). |
