Abstract: A woven electrical transmission cable includes a plurality of longitudinally extending conductor and ground wires which are substantially parallel with one another. These conductor and ground wires are woven together with a number of insulating fiber strands to define a woven pattern wherein the conductor and ground wires define an undulating shape. The amplitude and frequency of the respective undulations are approximately equal if not equal. The woven cable also includes a longitudinally extending warp member at each edge thereof which has a breaking strength which is at least twenty (20) times and preferably fifty (50) times the breaking strength of a conductor or ground wire.

Abstract: A cable and connector assembly in which a longitudinally elongated cable is connected to a connector housing by means of strain bearing cables which have a substantially higher modulus of elasticity than that of the cable conductors. Each strain bearing cable has a free end portion projecting from the free end of the sheath and located laterally outwardly from and arranged one on either side of the free end portions of the conductors. A first conductor connection point is located on the connector member at which an end of the free end portion of the conductor is connected to the connector member. A pair of strain bearing cable connection points on the connector member, each of the strain bearing cable connection points is located laterally outwardly from and one on either side of the first connection point.
