A flexible electrical cable having a centre part surrounded by a sheath (16) made of insulating material is specified in which are arranged at least one data pair (DP) consisting of two data cores (1, 2) which are used for
data transmission and are surrounded by a common screen containing a metallized synthetic fleece, and at least one supply core (VA) which is used for supplying power, which are surrounded by a common electrical screen (15). In the centre part, at least two screened data pairs (DP) with data cores (1, 2) running parallel to one another are arranged separately from one another, the screen of which has a synthetic-material-clad
metal foil (5) surrounding said screen on all sides, the
metal side of which faces outwards, over which the metallized synthetic fleece (6) is arranged in contact with the
metal side. At least one supply core (VA) is present in the centre part, and data pairs (DP) and supply cores (VA) are twisted around a central spine (8) which is resistant to tensile forces and is easily bendable, the supply core (VA) being arranged between the data pairs (DP).
