  • Patent number: 5414212
    Abstract: The herringbone harness has multiple branches leading off from a trunk divided into segments by the forks at which the branches start. The harness is exclusively shielded firstly by first braids made over the individual branches, each first braid having a first enlarged tab over at least one of the segments on either side of the branch in question, and secondly by second braids made over the individual segments, each second braid having a second enlarged tab over that adjacent segment which is of smaller diameter than the segment in question. The application is a shielded harness serving multiple points from a common point of origin.

  • Patent number: 5378853
    Abstract: The shielded harness has multiple branches and at least one fork, and has shielding braids over the various branches. The harness includes shielding continuity means over each fork, which means are constituted exclusively by enlarged tabs in the individual shielding braids of the various branches, each enlarged tab extending over the fork and beyond over another branch, and being covered by the shielding braid of said other branch.

  • Patent number: 5295868
    Abstract: A pre-equipped shielded harness has at least one end portion formed of a bundle of twisted-together conductors covered by a shielding braid. The harness includes an expander having cross-sectional dimensions substantially identical to those of a rear of a connector to be connected to the end portion. The expander is positioned at the location at which the connector is to be connected, and is covered by the shielding braid by preforming the shielding braid over the expander. The shielded harness has high magnetic protection.

  • Patent number: 5121542
    Abstract: A cable which is easily strippable by a transversely-acting pincer. Its sheath has a cross-section including at least two pairs of ribs delimiting longitudinal grooves which face one another in planes intersecting the inside surface of the sheath, but outside the conductors and the earthing leads of the cable.

  • Patent number: 5021007
    Abstract: A flat electric cable having a plurality of parallel conductors spaced apart inside insulation, and provided with screening, wherein at least one of the outer conductors projects partially from the insulation and makes contact with the screening, and the projecting outer conductor is wider than the other conductors.

  • Patent number: 4967040
    Abstract: A multi-conductor screened electric cable in which each conductor may be connected in parallel to an elelctrical contact without having to break the cable. Such connections are made in predetermined zones of the cable. All of the conductors of the predetermined zones are parallel and lie in a plane. In addition to its insulated conductors, the cable includes an uninsulated conductor element (5) providing electrical continuity for its screening (6), and also making it possible to make an electrical contact with the screening. The insulated conductors (3, 4) and the uninsulated conductor element (8) are disposed at predetermined accurate distances relative to one another. The cable is particularly suitable for computer networks.
