In one approach, the MC cable assembly includes a core having a plurality of conductors laid parallel to one another, each of the plurality of conductors including an electrical conductor and insulation, with or without a jacket layer. The MC cable assembly further includes a metal sheath disposed over the core. In some approaches, the MC cable assembly further includes an assembly tape disposed around the plurality of conductors. In some approaches, the MC cable assembly further includes a subassembly having a set of conductors, and an assembly jacket layer disposed over the subassembly. In some approaches, a polymeric protective layer is provided over an insulation layer of one or more of the plurality of conductors and the subassembly. In some approaches, a bonding/grounding conductor may also be cabled with the plurality of conductors.

Wire protection member

A wire protection member includes: a flexible cylindrical wire protection tube, in which a plurality of large diameter portions and a plurality of small diameter portions are arranged alternately such that concave outer circumferential grooves are formed between adjacent ones of the large diameter portions across the corresponding small diameter portion; and a connection member in which a connection portion and a locking tool are formed integrally. The connection portion connects a plurality of annular portions formed in a plurality of the outer circumferential grooves respectively by molding. The locking tool is allowed to be locked to a mounting hole of a vehicle body panel.

LOW-PROFILE CABLE ARMOR

Disclosed is a cable assembly including at least one conductor and a metal sheath disposed over the at least one conductor, the metal sheath including a continuous strip of metal having a plurality of revolutions. A first revolution of the plurality of revolutions may include a first section having a curved profile extending into an interior cavity of the metal sheath, and a second section extending from the first section, the second section extending along a lengthwise axis, wherein a length of the second section, along the lengthwise axis, is at least two times as large as a diameter of the first section when the metal sheath is in a linear configuration. The first revolution may further include a third section extending from the second section, the third section including a free end terminating within a recess defined by a curved profile of a first section of an adjacent revolution.
