Multi-conductor ribbon structures may be structurally configured to reduce cable installation time. Such ribbon structures may include an adjacent conductor portion and a bonding portion that may be structurally configured to surround at least a conductor portion of the adjacent conductor portion. The adjacent conductor portion may be partially or wholly surrounded by a coating portion having an outer surface portion. The bonding portion may form a separation portion between the outer surface of each of the adjacent conductors. The separation portion may include a reduced amount of the bonding material adjacent to a first portion of the adjacent conductor portion relative to an amount of the bonding material portion adjacent a second portion of the adjacent conductor portion so as to provide a preferential separation region between the adjacent conductor portion at the first portion of the adjacent conductor portion. The bonding portion may be structurally configured to preferentially detach, or separate at the preferential separation region in predetermined, uniform, or controlled manner, in response to a force that urges the first and second conductor portions of the adjacent conductor portion away from one another.

An example of the present disclosure includes a ribbon cable. The ribbon cable includes a plurality of wires, each wire of the plurality of wires being a different wire type of a plurality of wire types relative to the wire type of at least another one of the plurality of wires. Each one of the plurality of wires includes a conductor and an outer insulating layer surrounding a perimeter of the conductor. The outer insulating layer of a first wire includes a portion located between the conductor of the first wire and the conductor of a second wire adjacent to the first wire. The ribbon cable includes an adhesive material exterior to the outer insulating layer of each wire of the plurality of wires and bonding together the plurality of wires.

An electrical power cable for high temperature environments comprises two or more sheathed conductors; each sheathed conductor comprising an electrical conductor, an electrical insulator surrounding the electrical conductor, and a sheath surrounding the electrical insulator; and a bonding material interconnecting the sheaths of the two or more sheathed conductors positioned adjacent to one another to form a cable.
