Cables, cable connectors, and support structures for cantilever package and/or cable attachment may be fabricated using additive processes, such as a coldspray technique, for integrated circuit assemblies. In one embodiment, cable connectors may be additively fabricated directly on an electronic substrate. In another embodiment, seam lines of cables and/or between cables and cable connectors may be additively fused. In a further embodiment, integrated circuit assembly attachment and/or cable attachment support structures may be additively formed on an integrated circuit assembly.

An electric-submersible-pump composite duct cable is provided and includes a steel tube shell and an isolation layer. The isolation layer covers the outer circumferential surface of an ethylene-propylene jacket. The steel tube shell covers the outer circumferential surface of the isolation layer. Multiple signal cable assemblies and multiple injection agent tubes are arranged inside the isolation layer. Each signal cable assembly and each injection agent tube are in staggered arrangement at the internal center of the ethylene-propylene jacket. A manufacturing method of the electric-submersible-pump composite duct cable mainly includes two steps of manufacturing the isolation layer and machining the steel tube shell.

Bundled cables and methods for preparing bundled cable are disclosed herein. In the method, a plurality of subunits is wound about a central member. The subunits include a subunit jacket made of a first thermoplastic composition and has a first outer surface, and the central member includes a central member jacket made of a second thermoplastic composition and has a second outer surface. A metal element is provided at an interface of the second outer surface and the first outer surface of the subunits. The metal element is heated such that at least one of the first thermoplastic composition or the second thermoplastic composition forms bonds with the other of the first thermoplastic composition or the second thermoplastic composition.

A wired pipe system includes a wired pipe segment having a first end and a second end and a first coupler in the first end and a second coupler in the second end. The system also includes a transmission line disposed in the wired pipe segment between the first and second ends. The transmission line includes an inner conductor, an insulating material surrounding the inner conductor, an outer conductor surrounding the insulating material and the inner conductor for at least a portion of a length of the transmission line, the other conductor being formed by deforming around the inner conductor a sheet of material into a substantially tubular member.

A method for the continuous production of coaxial cables (224) having a thin-walled, radially closed outer conductor of nonferrous metal comprises supplying a flat strip of the nonferrous metal to a shaping apparatus (212), wherein the thickness of the strip corresponds to the wall thickness of the coaxial cable. The shaping apparatus is configured to continuously shape the supplied flat strip into a form corresponding to the outer conductor of the coaxial cable and around a cable core supplied before the outer conductor is closed. After the shaping, two opposite edges of the flat strip lie flush against one another in a contact region and are continuously welded to one another by a welding apparatus (216) by means of a laser, which radiates light having a wavelength smaller than 600 nm. The laser heats a point in a welding region that has a diameter smaller than 20% of the cross-sectional dimension of the coaxial cable. The welded coaxial cable is drawn off from the welding region and, after introducing a parallel or helical corrugation, is received in a receiving device (226).
