Appl. No.:

12/119199

Inventors:

Howard Lind - Porter Ranch CA, US
John Palahnuk - Valencia CA, US

International Classification:

H01B 7/08

US Classification:

174117 F

Abstract:

A cable assembly is provided including an encapsulated cable having one or more elements and an intermediary section. The encapsulated cable extends along a length direction. The intermediary section extends along the length direction and is attached along a length of the encapsulated cable and extends outwardly therefrom. The intermediary section is configured to receive one or more fasteners for securing the cable assembly to an external surface without the one or more fasteners contacting the one or more elements.

Appl. No.:

12/629812

Inventors:

Howard Lind - Porter Ranch CA, US
John Palahnuk - Valencia CA, US

International Classification:

A41D 1/00
B29C 47/02

US Classification:

2 69, 264263

Abstract:

The present invention is comprised of a system and method to fabricate custom shaped flat silicone encased cable assemblies. The cable assemblies can include various numbers and types of multiple individual flexible systems for example communication cables, optic fibers, junction devices, tubing and electrical conductors arranged into a shaped grouping. The custom shaping allows for very precise cable routing. The silicone encasement maintains the custom shape and provides protection against contamination. The result is a single silicone encased flexible shaped cable for use in efficient space saving installations in the cable routing space available in a device or series of devices and can be customized for a wide range of applications.
