The invention relates to a monolithic electrical connection harness (1) having an adapted rigidity traveling along a determined path, including a flexible insulating casing (2a to 2c) inserting shielded electrical connection cables (C1 to C3) to constitute a bundle (F1 to F3), devices (S1 to S3) for holding the ends (Z1 to Z3) of the flexible casing (2a to 2c) on rear connections (R1 to R3) integrating the end zones (E1 to E3) of the cables (C1 to C3) In this harness (1), a reinforcing sheath (6) surrounds the cable bundle (F1 to F3) and is made up of one or more layers (61 to 63) of composite material made from a flexible matrix in polymer material in which a ply of fibers for reinforcing in robustness and/or stiffness is draped along the cable bundle (F1 to F3), the reinforcing fibers being assembled in each ply in a shape chosen from between a unidirectional web, a multidirectional web and a fabric of wires formed from braided fibers.
A monolithic electrical connection harness (1) having an adapted rigidity following a predetermined path, including a flexible insulating jacket (2a to 2c) with the insertion of shielded electrical connection cables (C1 to C3) to form a bundle (F1 to F3), holding devices (S1 to S3) for holding the ends (Z1 to Z3) of said flexible jacket (2a to 2c) on rear fittings (R1 to R3) incorporating end zones (E1 to E3) of the cables (C1 to C3), and the monolithic electrical connection harness comprising a reinforcing sheath (6) surrounds the bundle (F1 to F3) of cables and is composed of a composite made up of a flexible polymer matrix and one or more layers (61 to 63) made up of a ply of reinforcing fibers for reinforcement in terms of robustness and/or stiffness, laid along the bundle (F1 to F3) of cables, the reinforcing fibers being assembled in each ply in a form selected between a unidirectional sheet, a multidirectional sheet and a fabric of threads formed of braided fibers.
