Abstract
A conductor arrangement for an electrical connection includes a flexible multi-core internal conductor, an electromagnetic shield surrounding the flexible multi-core internal conductor, a thermoplastic hard plastic sheath surrounding a first portion of the flexible multi-core internal conductor, and a flexible corrugated tube surrounding a second portion the flexible multi-core internal conductor. A first portion of the thermoplastic hard plastic sheath includes an elongated flattened shape. A second portion of the thermoplastic hard plastic sheath includes an essentially round shape. The second portion of the thermoplastic hard plastic sheath is adjacent the first portion of the thermoplastic hard plastic sheath.
Claims5
A conductor assembly for an electrical connection, comprising:
- a flexible multi-core internal conductor for data transmission, each core of the flexible multi-core internal conductor including a metal strand surrounded by a flexible insulation layer;
- an electromagnetic shield surrounding the flexible multi-core internal conductor;
- a thermoplastic hard plastic sheath surrounding a first portion of the flexible multi-core internal conductor;
- and
- a flexible corrugated tube surrounding a second portion of the flexible multi-core internal conductor;
- wherein a first portion of the thermoplastic hard plastic sheath includes an elongated flattened shape deformed lengthwise and with respect to a cross-section, a second portion of the thermoplastic hard plastic sheath includes an essentially round shape, and the second portion of the thermoplastic hard plastic sheath is adjacent the first portion of the thermoplastic hard plastic sheath;
- the individual cores of the flexible multi-core internal conductor bundle loosely inside the electromagnetic shielding surrounded by the elongated flattened shape and the round shape of the thermoplastic hard plastic sheath.
The conductor assembly of 1, wherein the flexible insulation includes PVC, PE, TEP, PTFE, silicone or silicone-coated fiberglass.
