French term or phrase: ame cablee
(electric wires)
lifo
stranded OR twisted core
Explanation:
just a suggestion --- to describe a type of cable, as used in electornics etc., we might describe the core as being either solid [= a single wire, perhaps making the overall cable stiffer] or twisted [made up of multiple strands, yielding a more flexible cable]

câbler = to twist together
âme = heart or core

Depending on your context, perhaps this could be what you need? Most likely to apply to smaller-diamtere signal cables, or low-current power cables, though meatier applications are also possible.

Hope this helps!
