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.
Claims18
A cable apparatus comprising:
- a first set of elements extending in a length direction;
- a second set of elements extending in the length direction;
- encapsulation material encapsulating the first set of elements and the second set of elements;
- an intermediary section extending between the first set of elements and the second set of elements,
- wherein the intermediary section is configured to receive one or more fasteners for securing the cable apparatus to an external surface without the one or more fasteners contacting the first set of elements or the second set of elements;
- a band extending in a length direction, the band being located in the intermediary section;
- and
- a groove extending down a center of the intermediary section for guiding proper placement of the one or more fasteners and for allowing the intermediary section to be easily separated along the groove.
5 more elements
A cable apparatus comprising:
- at least three sets of elements extending in a length direction;
- encapsulation material encapsulating the at least three sets of elements, the encapsulation material being formed of silicone;
- a plurality of intermediary sections extending between each of the at least three sets of elements, the plurality of intermediary sections being formed of silicone;
- a fiberglass reinforced silicone strip within each of the plurality of intermediary sections, the fiberglass reinforced silicone strip extending in the length direction;
- wherein the plurality of intermediary sections are configured to receive one or more fasteners extending through the fiberglass reinforced strip within each of the plurality of intermediary sections, the one or more fasteners for securing the cable apparatus to an external surface without the one or more fasteners contacting the at least three sets of elements;
- and
- a plurality of barriers protruding from the plurality of intermediary sections and extending in the length direction along edges of each of the plurality of intermediary sections.
