  • Patent number: 6203343
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a cabling arrangement for motorized vehicles and similar comprising a system for electrical power supply and a system of data transmission via a busbar (1) to which components signals are addressed separately using a multiplexing process. This arrangement has at least one busbar (1) with at least two power conductors (2, 3) for the supply of electrical power to components and at least two conductors (4) used by the busbar data transmission system (1). All the conductors (2,3,4) are in the form of metal strips and are separated one from another by insulating sheet material (5) and assembled in a laminated or “sandwich” structure, each component or a secondary busbar taking off control or power current from the busbar through their respective connectors.
