A cable stopper structure and an image forming apparatus includes a cable disposed throughout a first passage and a second passage, the second passage having a ceiling height higher than a ceiling height of the first passage, a first component disposed in the first passage and connected to one end portion of the cable, and a second component disposed near an exit of the first passage and connected to the other end portion of the cable, the second component being removable in a direction away from the first component. The cable includes a folded-back portion folded back in the second passage and a rigid portion disposed between the folded-back portion and the first component. The rigid portion has a rigidity greater than that of the cable and has a length in a pulling-out direction of the cable longer than the ceiling height of the first passage.

Systems and methods may include balancing an unbalanced power cable using a transformer that has one or more phases by selecting a voltage on a tap handle; disposing a first bushing on one or more phases at a different voltage than the selected voltage; and balancing the unbalanced power cable based on the disposition of the first bushing on the one or more phases at the different voltage.

A modular planar electrical wiring system for providing a planar electrical wiring according to a desired configuration includes a planar electrical distribution cable, at least one planar electrical appliance embedded in a planar sheet and connectable to the planar electrical distribution cable; and at least one planar connector for connecting a corresponding planar electrical appliance to the electrical distribution cable at any given location therealong according to the desired configuration, to thereby provide a modular planar electrical wiring system having a low height profile. There is also provided a modular power distribution system provided with a power source, an enclosure for a planar power distribution cable, a crimp connector including a control system, and power sources for a planar modular power distribution system.

A method of forming a flat conductor that includes aligning multiple strands of flat conductive tape adjacent to each other, and braiding the strands of flat conductive tape to each other by sequentially bending one of the strands of flat conductive tape over the other strands of flat conductive tape to create a braided flat conductive tape. Each end of the braided flat conductive tape is connected to an electrical assembly for carrying electrical current therethrough.

A cable includes a pair of wires each having a conductor and a wire insulation layer wrapped around the conductor, an inner insulation layer wrapped around the wire insulation layer of each of the wires and fixing the wires, a metal shielding layer wrapped around an outer surface of the inner insulation layer, and an outer insulation layer wrapped around an outer surface of the metal shielding layer. The metal shielding layer has an insulating substrate and a metal conductive layer coated on the insulating substrate. The metal conductive layer of the metal shielding layer faces the outer insulation layer.

A guarded coaxial cable assembly includes a micro-coaxial cable and a metal rail for protecting the micro-coaxial cable from harmful compression.

An apparatus includes a flat cable that comprises multiple conductors that are encased in the cable armor and positioned in a flat cable configuration such that a void area is defined between the multiple conductors. The flat cable includes a filler positioned at least partially in the void area.

A guarded coaxial cable assembly including at least a pair of conductors, one or more rails, and a jacket covering these parts such as a first rail extending alongside two nearby conductors, the rail and the conductors embedded in an outer electrically insulating jacket, the outer jacket having a pair of generally opposed bearing surfaces for bearing transverse loads, the rail operative to reduce outer jacket deformations resulting from transverse loads applied to the bearing surfaces; and, the orientation of the rail and the conductors within the outer jacket operative to limit conductor or conductor jacket deformations resulting from transverse loads applied to the bearing surfaces.

A multi-core flat cable for vehicle includes a sheath covering two power wires and at least two signal wires, a pair of the signal wires is twisted and is configured as one twisted pair of signal wires, and on a section perpendicular to a longitudinal direction, a ratio (long-axis dimension/short-axis dimension) of a long-axis dimension to a short-axis dimension is equal to or greater than 1.8.

A cable includes one or more conductor sets, one or more dielectric unitary blocks or reservoirs, first and second conductive shielding films disposed on opposite first and second sides of the conductor sets and the dielectric blocks or reservoirs, and an adhesive layer. The shielding films include cover portions and pinched portions arranged such that, in cross-section, the cover portions of the shielding films in combination substantially surround each conductor set and each unitary block or reservoir, and the pinched portions of the shielding films in combination form pinched portions of the cable on each side of the conductor set and on at least one side of the unitary block or the reservoir. The adhesive layer bonds the first shielding film to the second shielding film in the pinched portions of the cable.
