The invention relates to a cable (1) with at least one strand (2) having twisted litz wires (3) for conducting electrical current and an insulation sheath (4) surrounding the at least one strand (2) for electrically insulating the at least one strand (2). The cable (1) has an interruption section (5) without an insulation sheath (4) between two cable sections (6, 6′) with an insulation sheath (4). According to the invention, the twisted weave of the at least one strand (2) is loosened in the interruption section (5), in order to interrupt the transport of moisture through the cable (1), in particular through the at least one strand (2), that results from capillary pressure and/or temperature-related pressure differences along the cable (1), such that the pressure in the interruption section (5) can equalize with that of the exterior.
