Abstract
A laminated cable includes a metal laminate surrounding a cable core having first and second ends. Solder is applied adjacent the ends of the laminate, and is heated and subsequently cooled to form a metal seal. The solder can be melted in a plastic jacketing extruder as the extruder applies a plastic jacket over the metal laminate.
Claims17
A cable comprising:
- a cable core;
- a metallic jacket disposed radially outward relative to the core, the jacket having a first end and second end proximate to the first end;
- and
- a seal including solder in contact with the first and second ends.
1 more element
A method of making cable, comprising:
- at least partially surrounding a cable core with a metallic laminate having a first circumferential end and second circumferential end;
- disposing solder adjacent to the first end and second end;
- and,
- forming a seal including the solder in contact with the first end and second end.
1 more element
An apparatus, comprising:
- an elongate cable core extending from an input side of a heat source to an output side of the heat source;
- a metallic laminate at least partially surrounding the cable core and having a first circumferential end and second circumferential end;
- solder disposed proximate to at least one of the first and second circumferential end;
- a solder seal in contact with the first end and second end extending along a longitudinal axis of the core from proximate to the heat source to the output side of the heat source.
