Abstract: A cable for encasing one or more wires includes at least one wire, cable, or conductor, a tube surrounding the at least one wire, cable, or conductor, and a conductive or textile material surrounding the tube. The cable further includes a jacket surrounding the conductive or textile material, wherein the jacket is formed from at least one synthetic rubber.
Abstract: A cable connector assembly includes a fitting having first and second fitting ends and a fitting opening therethrough, wherein the fitting is formed from a conductive material. The cable connector assembly further includes a ferrule having first and second ferrule ends, a ferrule opening therethrough, and one or more teeth disposed axially along the ferrule opening, wherein the ferrule is formed from a conductive material. The first ferrule end is disposed over the second fitting end. The cable connector assembly further includes a tube including an outer nonconductive layer and an inner conductive layer. The tube is disposed between the second fitting end and the first ferrule end and the ferrule is secured around the fitting so that at least one of the one or more teeth pierce the outer nonconductive layer and make contact with the inner conductive layer to create an EMI/RFI shield across the fitting, the ferrule, and the tube.
