An object of the present disclosure is to provide a technique that can prevent, in a wire harness including a fixing member, the fixing member from being attached in a deviated orientation. A wire harness includes: a wiring member; a fixing member provided on the wiring member; and a first reference mark and a second reference mark that are each provided at a position of the wiring member that corresponds to the fixing member. The first reference mark and the second reference mark each have a distinctive external appearance in a circumferential direction of the wiring member. The first reference mark indicates a reference position of the wiring member in the circumferential direction, and the second reference mark indicates a position of the wiring member in the circumferential direction, the position serving as a reference for an attachment orientation of the fixing member.

The invention relates to a device for manufacturing a sheath (1) for electrical cables (2), in particular a sheath (1) for cables (2) in automobiles, comprising at least one manipulator (9) and a nozzle (10) connected to the manipulator (9) for dispensing a curable liquid plastic material in the course of a generative manufacturing method. The plastic material comprises a radiation-crosslinkable, acrylate-based polymer as the main constituent.

A flat harness includes a plurality of flat circuit bodies that are stacked to each other. A mark is provided on a side surface of each of the plurality of flat circuit bodies. A position of the mark in a length direction of the flat circuit body is provided so as to be different for each type of the flat circuit body.

Twisted pair communication cables that include reduced or minimal use of colorant may include a plurality of twisted pairs of individually insulated conductors, and the respective insulation formed around each conductor may not be blended or compounded with any colorant. A separator may be positioned between at least two of the plurality of twisted pairs, and the separator may include one or more physical indicia that facilitate identification of the plurality of twisted pairs. A jacket may be formed around the plurality of twisted pairs and the separator.

A multi-striped electrical cable may be provided. The multi-striped electrical cable may comprise a conductor, an inner layer, an outer layer, and a stripe. The conductor core may comprise a conductor. The inner layer may be around the conductor core and may comprise an inner layer polymer. The outer layer may be around the inner layer. The outer layer may comprise an outer layer polymer, an outer layer colorant, and an outer layer friction reducing additive. The stripe may be disposed on an outermost portion of the outer layer. The stripe may comprise a stripe polymer, a stripe colorant, and a stripe friction reducing additive.

Twisted pair communication cables that include reduced or minimal use of colorant may include a plurality of twisted pairs of individually insulated conductors, and the respective insulation formed around each conductor included in the plurality of twisted pairs may include one or more polymeric materials that are not blended or compounded with any colorant. A plurality of dielectric separators may be provided including a dielectric separator respectively positioned between the individually insulated conductors of each of the plurality of twisted pairs. Physical indicia may be selectively formed on at least two of the plurality of dielectric separators, and the physical indicia may facilitate identification of the plurality of twisted pairs. A jacket may be formed around the plurality of twisted pairs and the plurality of dielectric separators.

The present disclosure relates to a cable having a light-emitting element. An exemplary embodiment of the cable has, in addition to the light-emitting element, a cable core comprising at least one cable construction element. The cable also has a reflective layer, which at least partially surrounds the cable core along a tangential direction with respect to a cable axis of the cable and which is designed to reflect light that is emitted by the light-emitting element. The cable also has a sheath, which is designed to conduct the light emitted by the light-emitting element around the cable core substantially in the tangential direction and to couple said light out substantially in the radial direction with respect to the cable axis. The reflectivity of the reflective layer varies in the tangential direction.

A display device is provided, which is arranged by a plurality of optical cables in parallel, and each optical cable comprises includes a conductive material and a light guide material, wherein the light guide material covers the conductive material, and two encapsulated light-emitting elements comprise a first encapsulated light-emitting element and a second encapsulated light-emitting element, which are respectively positioned at two ends of each optical cable, wherein each encapsulated light-emitting element comprises a plurality of light-emitting units, and an area of each light-emitting unit overlaps with an area of the light guide material viewed from a sectional direction.

An insulated wire capable of changing color when overheated under a current load includes an insulated core, at least one thermochromic strip, and a transparent plastic protective layer. The thermochromic strip is wound and fixed on the peripheral surface of the insulated core. The transparent plastic protective layer clads the peripheral surface of the insulated core and/or the top surface of the thermochromic strip. When the insulated core is overloaded and generates heat, the heat is transmitted to, and thereby changes the color of, the thermochromic strip. The color change is visible through the transparent plastic protective layer and can therefore alert the wire user in real time that the load on the insulated wire should be lowered.

A flat harness includes a plurality of flat circuit bodies that are stacked to each other. A mark is provided on a side surface of each of the plurality of flat circuit bodies. A position of the mark in a length direction of the flat circuit body is provided so as to be different for each type of the flat circuit body.
