Provided are electrical harness assemblies and methods of forming such harness assemblies. A harness assembly comprises a conductor trace, comprising a conductor lead with a width-to-thickness ratio of at least 2. This ratio provides for a lower thickness profile and enhances heat transfer from the harness to the environment. In some examples, a conductor trace may be formed from a thin sheet of metal. The same sheet may be used to form other components of the harness. The conductor trace also comprises a connecting end, monolithic with the conductor lead. The width-to-thickness ratio of the connecting end may be less than that of the conductor trace, allowing for the connecting end to be directly mechanically and electrically connected to a connector of the harness assembly. The connecting end may be folded, shaped, slit-rearranged, and the like to reduce its width-to-thickness ratio, which may be close to 1.

A communications cable is described. The communications cable can include a cable jacket, a separator structure that defines one or more channels for receiving at least one communications medium, and an insulator that surrounds the communications medium. The cable jacket can include one or more corrugations on at least one of its interior or exterior surfaces. The separator can also include one or more grooves on at least a portion of its surface. The insulator can also include one or more indentations on at least one of its interior or exterior surfaces. The corrugations, grooves, and indentations can extend along the longitudinal length of the cable and define one or more air channels for forwarding and circulating air through or on the surface the cable. The circulation of air in the cable can reduce the temperature of the cable and increase the quality of the signal transmitted through the cable.

A multi-phase cable, the cable including a plurality of conductors for conducting currents of two or more different phases, each phase being associated with one or more conductors and each conductor being associated with one respective phase. Each conductor has a cross-section with at least one dimension that is sized to decrease a skin effect of the conductor at a maximum or nominal operation frequency of the conductor. The conductors are arranged to permit free air cooling of the cable on at least two sides of each conductor, and such that each conductor of a given phase has, as immediate neighbors, only conductors of one or more different phases.

A coated electrical accessory includes a bare electrical accessory and a substantially inorganic and dried coating layer coating the bare electrical accessory. The coating layer includes a heat radiating agent and a binder. When the coated electrical accessory is tested in accordance with ANSI CI 19.4-2004 with an amount of imparted current, the coated electrical accessory exhibits an operating temperature that is less than an operating temperature of a bare electrical accessory tested in accordance with ANSI CI 19.4-2004 with the same amount of imparted current. Methods are also provided.

A cable for a battery includes a conductive member that extends in a longitudinal direction of the cable, an expansion member spaced with the conductive member, and an insulation member covering the periphery of the conductive member and the expansion member. The insulation member has a through hole. The expansion member is configured to expand and overflow to the outer surface of the insulation member through the through hole when the temperature reaches a threshold.

A cable system is provided which is configured with both electric wires and a fluid conduit running through the axial passage of a surrounding flexible sheath of the cable. The system allows for communication of electricity over the wires for electrical circuits and concurrent communication of a fire ignition suppressant fluid or gas through the fluid conduit, to all points in an electric circuit using the cable. One or both of a dye or scent can be included in the ignition suppressant fluid.

A connecting cable includes a first end, a second end and a heat dissipation channel in communication with the first end and the second end. The first end is adapted to connect with a first component. The second end is adapted to connect with a second component. The present disclosure also discloses a cable connector, a charger, and a charger assembly having the connecting cable. Compared with the prior art, in the present disclosure, by providing the heat dissipation channel in the connecting cable, the heat generated by the electronic device can be discharged in time through the heat dissipation channel. Therefore, the heat dissipation performance is improved.

To this end a cable is provided for tandem communication and power transmission. The cable has a plurality of twisted pair conductors, a jacket surrounding said twisted pair conductors, and at least one active cooling element. The at least one active cooling element is configured to provide a thermoelectric cooling effect to the cable when one or more of said plurality of twisted pairs are employed to transfer electrical power in a power over Ethernet application.
