A high-power low-resistance electromechanical cable constructed of a conductor core comprising a plurality of conductors surrounded by an outer insulating jacket and with each conductor having a plurality of wires that are surrounded by an insulating jacket. The wires can be copper or other conductive wires. The insulating jacket surrounding each set of wires or each conductor can be comprised of ethylene tetrafluoroethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene, polytetrafluoroethylene tape, perfluoroalkoxyalkane, fluorinated ethylene propylene or a combination of materials. A first layer of a plurality of strength members is wrapped around the outer insulating jacket. A second layer of a plurality of strength members may be wrapped around the first layer of a plurality of strength members. The first and/or second layer of strength members can be made of single wires, synthetic fiber strands multi-wire strands, or rope. If either or both layers are made up of synthetic fiber, then the synthetic fibers may be surrounding and encapsulated by an additional insulating and protective layer.
