A fabric wrapped cable is formed by positioning adhesive on opposed layers of fabric. A cable is positioned between those layers and the layers are attached by attaching the adhesive of one layer to the adhesive of the other layer. In forming the wrapped cable in such a manner, the cable is provided with at least one wing.

A non-metallic cable includes at least two circuit conductors each disposed within a first insulator, a grounding conductor, and a first jacket in which the at least two circuit conductors and the grounding conductor extend. The non-metallic cable further includes two control conductors, each control conductor disposed within a second insulator, and a second jacket made from a thermoplastic material in which the two control conductors extend. The first jacket is connected to the second jacket.

A flex flat cable (FFC) structure includes metallic transmission wires arranged in parallel, first insulating jackets, and second insulating jacket. The metallic transmission wires includes one or more power wires and signal wires. The power wire is configured to transmit power. The signal wires are configured to transmit a data signal. Each of first insulating jackets encloses one of metallic transmission wires. The second insulating jacket surrounds the first insulating jackets. An embossment pattern is arranged on an external surface of the second insulating jacket. The embossment pattern includes meander lines in a top-view direction and in an extending direction for the metallic transmission wires. The meander lines are not arranged parallel.

A thin micro-multilayer electrical insulator having a plurality of layers of polymeric materials is high performance and lightweight. The insulator provides a structured material with improved dielectric strength and partial corona discharge resistance that can be used in high voltage and high temperature applications. The durable insulator is well suited for use in insulating high voltage aircraft wiring and power transmission composites in hybrid and all electric airplanes. The insulator can have multiple layers of different polymeric materials such as fluorine-containing polymers and polyimides.

A wrap for bundling cable, comprising: a multilayer wrap that comprises: (a) an outermost layer comprising a first polymer textile; (b) an innermost layer comprising a second polymer textile; and (c) an adhesive layer between the outermost and innermost layers, wherein the first and second textiles differ from one another, wherein the multilayer wrap comprises an abrasion resistance that exceeds an abrasion resistance of the innermost and outermost layers alone, as measured under the ISO 6722 Standard, and further wherein the multilayer wrap comprises a damping resistance of at least class B, as measured under the LV 312 Standard.

A flat cable that includes a plurality of cores each including one insulated wire and/or a plurality of insulated wires that are twisted together, the cores being lined up in a cable width direction, which is orthogonal to a longitudinal direction of the insulated wires; a sheath that collectively covers the plurality of cores; and a space that is surrounded by an outer surface of one of the plurality of cores, an outer surface of another one of the plurality of cores that is adjacent to the one of the plurality of cores, and an inner surface of the sheath.

Systems, methods and tools for the interrogation of fiber-reinforced composite strength members to assess the structural integrity of the strength members. The systems and methods utilize the transmission of light through optical fibers that are embedded along the length of the strength members. The inability to detect light through one or more of the optical fibers may be an indication that the structural integrity of the A strength member is compromised. The systems and methods may be implemented without great difficulty and may be implemented at any time in the life cycle of the strength member, from production through installation. The systems and methods have particular applicability to bare overhead electrical cables that include a fiber-reinforced strength member.

The present disclosure provides a signaling yarn having a staple fiber and a sheet conductor. The staple fiber has a stretching resistance of 26 to 40 strands, and functions as a supporting material. The sheet conductor enlaces a surrounding surface of the staple fiber in a spiral extending manner. By selecting the above stretching resistance of the staple fiber, the signaling yarn not only propagates signals and electricity, but is also stretch-resistant, therefore being suitable for weaving and washing. Moreover, wearers wearing textiles weaved from the signaling yarn never experience foreign-body sensation, thus having good user experience.

Described are cables for connecting components of computing systems. The cables improve automation and resulting performance of high frequency and/or high speed signal transmissions by providing reliable transmission paths between hardware components. An example cable includes parallel conductors and a dielectric core that secures the parallel conductors along the length using parallel channels in opposite sides of the dielectric core. An alignment structure is also formed in the dielectric core, which has a shape along the length of the cable. A cable jacket surrounds the parallel conductors and the dielectric core. The cable jacket is contoured to follow the shape of the alignment structure. The dielectric core can be formed to maintain consistent separation between the parallel channels along the length of the cable to match impedance of the parallel conductors along the length of the cable, whether the cable lays flat or bends around corners.
