Under-carpet coaxial cable

摘要

A thin-profile electrical cable is rendered capable of enduring compressive and tensile loading encountered in under-carpet usage by encasing separately in the same flat pliable jacket the conductor to be protected and parallel to it one or more hard cable-like stress-carrying elements which are afforded free slippage within the jacket in the direction of their lengths. The jacket surface is scored by parallel grooves in the vicinity of the embedded conductor to cause compressive loads to be borne by the stress-carrying elements.
