Claim:
A fire-resistant safety cable, comprising: at least two electrical conductors; an insulating layer around each of the at least two electrical conductors in order to obtain at least two separate insulated elements; and an outer jacket surrounding the at least two separate insulated elements; the cable having, in cross-section, an external outline comprising at least two substantially plane faces that are substantially parallel to each other, wherein the outer jacket comprises a material comprising an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer, a polysiloxane, a polyolefin, a polyvinyl chloride, or a blend thereof, the material including mineral fillers capable of being converted to residual ash under an effect of high temperatures in a fire, wherein the insulating layer is formed from a polysiloxane material and a filler material comprising silica that forms, at least on a surface of the insulating layer, a ceramic state at the high temperatures in the fire, and wherein the at least two separate insulated elements are untwisted and arranged so as to be parallel to each other and substantially in contact with one another.
