Electrical cable having a reduced coefficient of friction

The method includes a step in which a conductor wire (4) is coated with a fused plastic material (7) and a step in which said plastic material is cooled, and it is characterized in that it includes a step in which a lubricating material (9) is sprayed onto the surface of the cable (2). Said cable (2) which includes at least one conductor core (4) and at least one coating of plastic material (7) incorporates a lubricating material (9) on the exterior coating. The equipment (1) for the manufacturing of electrical cables (2) which includes a reel (3) for supplying a conductor wire (4) to an extruding head (5), which has a tank (6) containing plastic material (7) for coating the aforesaid conducting wire (2), and a reel (11) for taking up the cable (2), includes a device (8) for the application of a lubricating material (9) onto the surface of the cable (2).
