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 ).
