Electrical cable for communication purposes

Abstract From the Canadian patent

An electrical cable for communication, purposes, having spaced-apart insulated electrical, conductors, between each two of which is disposed a portion having a block-shaped cross section with a plurality of tension-absorbing elements of high-strength fibers being disposed in this portion. The problem in the past has been that the flexibility of the cable is limited by the specific breaking elongation of the fibers. To resolve this problem, and to improve the flexibility primarily for termination and connection purposes the cable has an arbitrary number of tensionabsorbing elements which are arbitrarily distributed even in an unsymmetrical manner, in the tensionabsorbing block of the cable. …
