DEVICE CONNECTION CABLE WITH FLAT PROFILE

摘要

A cable includes a flexible jacket extending along a length and first and second lateral axes perpendicular to the length. The jacket also defines flat major surfaces that are parallel to each other and spaced apart on opposite sides of the first lateral axis. First and second inner wire assemblies extend within the jacket. The jacket maintains the first and second inner wire assembles in predetermined positions along the first lateral axis within 0.05 mm of each other and disposed on opposing sides of the second lateral axis. First and second outer wire assemblies also extend within the jacket. The outer wire assemblies include a wire of conductive filaments and an insulating layer of an enamel material surrounding the wire. The jacket maintains the first and second outer wire assemblies in positions along the first lateral axis and spaced apart from the first and second inner wire assemblies.

主权项

1. A method for making a connection cable, comprising:
applying a compressive force to a plurality of wires in a first radial direction over a length of the wires to temporarily reduce a dimension of each of the wires in the first radial direction; and forming a jacket over the plurality of wires and containing the wires in a unitary structure, the jacket being formed to define a major surface that is substantially flat in a second direction perpendicular to the first radial direction and extends along a length of the cable and such that the wires are maintained in predetermined positions within the jacket such that they are aligned in the second direction.
