A wire harness includes a linear trunk line section formed by bundling a plurality of power supply lines serving as linear wiring bodies wired in a vehicle and a pair of trunk line end distributors each of which is connected to a corresponding one of both ends of the linear trunk line section and distributes electric power from a power supply mounted on the vehicle to each connected appliance, the power supply being connected to at least one end of each of the trunk line end distributors. Thus, with the wire harness, a wiring path can be simplified by combining the linear trunk line section and the pair of trunk line end distributors.

A composite cable is composed of a plurality of power supply wires, a plurality of signal wires, two or more of which are configured to be connected to a common terminal member, and a sheath provided to cover the plurality of power supply wires and the plurality of signal wires together. The two or more of the plurality of signal wires being configured to be connected to the common terminal member are provided adjacent to each other.

Embodiments of the invention provide a hollow cable for conveying radiofrequency and/or microwave frequency energy to an electrosurgical instrument that can fit within, e.g. slide relative to, the hollow cable. The hollow cable provides a bipolar electrical connection to the electrosurgical instrument that is maintained when the electrosurgical instrument is rotated relative to the hollow cable. The cable may comprise a hollow coaxial transmission line having a rotatable component mounted at its distal end. The rotatable component comprises a longitudinal passageway continuous with the hollow coaxial transmission line. The rotatable component is rotatable relative to the transmission line and comprises a first and second conductive portions that are respectively electrically connected to first and second terminals on the coaxial transmission line and which are configured to maintain an electrical connection with their respective terminal when rotated relative to the coaxial transmission line.

The sensor section includes a plurality of magnetic sensors each including a detection section that includes a magnetism detection element and a cover covering the magnetism detection element, and a housing portion coating the plurality of magnetic sensors and the cable. The cable is extending out of the housing portion. The respective detection sections are arranged to be aligned with each other in a direction intersecting with an extending direction of the cable from the housing portion of the cable.

A multicore cable includes a plurality of power lines, and an outer jacket covering the plurality of power lines, the power lines include one first conductor disposed at a center, and a plurality of second conductors disposed on an outer periphery of the first conductor, that are twisted together, the first conductor includes 10 or more and 100 or less twisted first element wires, the second conductor includes 10 or more and 100 or less twisted second element wires, a direction of lay of the first element wires of the first conductor, a direction of lay of the second element wires of the second conductor, and a direction of lay of the first conductor and the second conductors of the power line are the same, and a length of lay of the first element wires and a length of lay of the second element wires are greater than or equal to 8 mm and less than or equal to 22 mm.

The shielded electrical conductor assembly described herein includes an electrical conductor having a rectangular cross-section, a first insulative layer surrounding the electrical conductor, a conductive layer surrounding the first insulative layer, and a second insulative layer encasing the conductive layer.

A power cable or a hybrid power-data cable includes power conductors and a plurality of continuity wires positioned radially outside of the power conductors. The continuity wires are positioned relative to the power conductors such that a cut in the cable will sever one of the plurality of continuity wires before a cut into the power conductors can occur.

A charging cable for an electric vehicle includes at least two power lines configured for conducting a charging current, and two high-frequency communication lines being separate and extending in parallel to the power lines and configured for transmitting a charging information between a charger and an electric vehicle.

Aspects relate to a connector and methods of use for charging an electric vehicle. An exemplary connector includes a housing configured to mate with an electric vehicle port of an electric vehicle, where the housing includes a fastener for removable attachment with the electric vehicle port, at least a direct current conductor configured to conduct a direct current, at least an alternating current conductor, configured to conduct an alternating current, at least a control signal conductor configured to conduct a control signal, at least a ground conductor configured to conduct to a ground, at least a coolant flow path configured to contain a flow of a coolant, and at least a proximity signal conductor configured to conduct a proximity signal indicative of attachment with the electric vehicle port when the housing is mated with the electric vehicle port.

A composite cable includes a plurality of power lines, one signal line unit, and a sheath collectively covering the plurality of power lines and the one signal line unit. The signal line unit includes a plurality of pairs of signal lines, and an inner sheath covering a first assembled article. The first assembled article is formed by arranging the signal lines to be paired at each pair of adjacent vertices of a polygon with an even number of vertices in a cross-section perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the signal line unit and twisting all the signal lines together. A twisting direction of a second assembled article formed by twisting the plurality of power lines and the one signal line unit together is different from a twisting direction of the first assembled article.
