A cable can include a cable core surrounded by an outer sleeve having a uniform thickness and further having a first longitudinal section having a first stiffness (e.g., corresponding to a flexible cable), a second longitudinal section having a second stiffness (e.g., corresponding to a rigid cable), and a third longitudinal section between the first and second longitudinal sections, where the second stiffness is greater than the first stiffness and where a stiffness of the third longitudinal section varies between the first stiffness and the second stiffness. The second longitudinal section can provide strain relief for the cable.

A conductive member that includes a flexible conductor in which a plurality of strands are bundled together and that has flexibility; a rigid conductor that has a shape retaining property; a body that is formed at an end portion of the rigid conductor and that surrounds the flexible conductor and is fixed to the flexible conductor; and a sliding contact that has a form protruding from an inner circumference of the body and with which the strands can make sliding contact, wherein the sliding contact has a bent shape.

A conductor arrangement for an electrical energy or data transmission connection includes at least one conductor portion comprising a flexible internal conductor and a thermoplastic hard plastic sheath surrounding the flexible internal conductor. The thermoplastic hard plastic sheath is transformable into a formable state when heated to a threshold temperature defined at a specific softening point, and the thermoplastic hard plastic sheath hardens into a formed state when cooled.

A wire assembly that is provided in a vehicle or the like includes a flexible wire, and a rigid wire. The rigid wire is made of a rigid material and has a recess portion extending along a longitudinal direction of the rigid wire. The flexible wire is disposed in the recess portion of the rigid wire.

Provided is a shielded conductive path that can be adapted to a branch structure without making the shape of a shielding member more complex. A shielded conductive path includes a trunk line electric wire, branch line electric wires connected to the trunk line electric wire via branching portions, trunk line shielding members having conductivity and enclosing the outer circumference of the trunk line electric wire, and branch line shielding members having conductivity and enclosing the outer circumference of the branch line electric wires. Moreover, the shielded conductive path includes a relay connecting member having conductivity, the relay connecting member being disposed corresponding to the branching portions, and the trunk line shielding members and the branch line shielding members being attached to and in contact with the relay connecting member.

An adhesive-backed electrical cable assembly includes a first electrical connector, a second electrical connector opposite the first electrical connector, and an electrical cable therebetween. The electrical cable features a body having a flat side with an adhesive layer and a release liner coupled to the adhesive layer. In some examples, the body is semirigid and designed to conform to the angles of a wall, floor, or ceiling. The adhesive-backed electrical cable assembly complements the aesthetic design of a surface to which it is adhered, thereby reducing clutter and preventing tripping and fire hazards. An electrical outlet is also disclosed that features one or more receptacles and one or more plugs along the front and sides of the electrical outlet. In some examples, the adhesive-backed electrical cable assembly includes outlet plug covers and is configured to mount on a wall, rather than in a wall.

A cable having at least one conductor which extends in a longitudinal direction and is enclosed by a jacket that is extruded onto the conductor. The jacket has a plurality of sections which are manufactured from different plastics, with results in the sections having different functionality. As a result, properties of the cable on a respective section are optimally adapted to the requirements of the respective section. There is also described a method for producing such a cable and to an extrusion unit for extruding the jacket with a plurality of sections.

The present invention provides a configuration as follows. A cable harness comprises: a conductor part; and a sheath part for vertically sheathing the outer circumferential part of the conductor part, wherein in one side of one end part and the other end part of the conductor part, an electrical conductive part is configured at the upper part of the conductor part, and in the other side of one end part of the conductor part, a stiffener is configured at the upper part of the sheath part, and the conductor part has a mesh-type pattern part which repeatedly configures a conductor width and a space part.
