A method according to the teachings of the present disclosure may include disposing a sheath around a conductor assembly, with an outer surface of the sheath defining spaced apart crowns and valleys. An outlet of at least one ink jet print head may be positioned adjacent the sheath at an angle of 60 degrees to 120 degrees with respect to a longitudinal axis of the sheath. The method may also include using at least one ink jet print head to print marking indicia on the sheath, the marking indicia indicating at least characteristic of the electrical cable assembly.

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.

A wiring member includes: a wire-like transmission member having a transmission wire body and a covering layer covering the transmission wire body; an adherend having an inorganic layer on a surface; and an adhesive agent intervening between the covering layer and the inorganic layer to be bonded to the covering layer and the inorganic layer, wherein the adhesive agent contains a chemical compound including at least one resin side functional group and at least one inorganic material side functional group in a molecular structure, the resin side functional group is chemically bonded to resin constituting the covering layer, and the inorganic material side functional group is chemically bonded to an inorganic material constituting the inorganic layer.

Provided is a combination cable for a vehicle that is capable of reducing noise interference and cross-talk between twisted pair wires. The combination cable for a vehicle includes a wire bundle and a sheath covering the wire bundle. The wire bundle includes a two-core first twisted pair wire, a two-core second twisted pair wire, a one-core first wire, and a one-core second wire. When viewed in cable cross-section, the wire bundle has the first twisted pair wire disposed on one side of a center line that runs from a center of the first wire to a center of the second wire, and has the second twisted pair wire disposed on the other side of the center line, and the first twisted pair wire and the second twisted pair wire are separated from each other.

A thermal sleeve for routing and protecting elongate members and method of construction thereof are provided. The sleeve has a tubular woven wall extending along a central axis between opposite open ends with an outer reflective foil layer fixed thereto. The wall is woven with lengthwise extending warp yarns and circumferentially extending fill yarns. The fill yarns include first and second fill yarns bundled in side-by-side abutting relation as a single pick, thereby forming discrete single pick bundles in axially spaced relation from one another. The first fill yarn is provided as a standard monofilament, while the second fill yarn is provided having a low melt material melted and bonded to the abutting first fill yarn and to portions of the abutting warp yarns, wherein the spaces between the discrete bundles remain substantially free of melted material, thereby further enhancing longitudinal flexibility of the sleeve.
