Abstract: A universal cable system includes a cable, which may include a keyed profile and an optional, integrated pull cable for low-voltage applications in residential and commercial structures, both old and new construction, which may further includes a connector, which does not require individual splicing of the wires from the cable. The connector may be self-crimping or crimped with a tool. During installation of the connector onto the cable, conductors in the connector may be simultaneously spliced to the wires of the cable during crimping.

Abstract: The present invention relates to data cable and methods of installing/building data cable. The cable disclosed herein is indoor/outdoor and can be configured as 4-twisted pair, or any of the numerous other types of data cable. In one embodiment, we disclose an electrical data cable comprising a plurality of insulated wires wherein the plurality of insulated wires is coupled for a first portion of the length of the data cable so as to form at least one twisted pair of wires; the plurality of insulated wires is configured in a flat, planar arrangement for a second portion of the data cable; and the plurality of insulated wires is coupled for a third portion of the length of the data cable so as to form at least one twisted pair of wires. In an alternate method, we disclose a method of attaching a connector to the electrical data cable comprising the steps of cutting the data cable at the untwisted segment and attaching a connector to the plurality of insulated wires in the untwisted segment.
