Patent number: 8013252Abstract: A cable assembly has a number of wires each having a central conductor and a surrounding insulating layer. Each wire is unshielded from the other wires, so that the conductor is the only conductive portion of the wire. Each wire has a first end and an opposed second end. The first ends of the wires are secured to each other in a flat ribbon portion in a first sequential arrangement, and the second ends of the wires are secured to each other in the same sequence as the first arrangement, with indicia identifying a selected wire in the sequence. The intermediate portions of the wires are detached from each other, and a sheath having a braided conductive shield may loosely encompass the wires, permitting significant flexibility of the cable.Type: GrantFiled: January 16, 2003Date of Patent: September 6, 2011Inventors: Larry Daane, Arthur Buck

Publication number: 20060144613Abstract: A cable assembly having a plurality of wires, each having a first end and an opposed second end. A sheath including an shield encompasses all the wires. The shield is a braid formed of a plurality of braid wires, and each of the braid wires has an insulating coating. The wires of the braid may be gathered at an end into a pigtail. The insulation is removed from the wires at the pig tail. The insulation may be removed by dipping the pigtail in a high temperature solder bath.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2005Publication date: July 6, 2006Inventors: Arthur Buck, Dana Daugherty, Thanh Tran, Kristin Ngo

Patent number: 6786762Abstract: A cable includes a number of wires. Each of the wires has a number of signal conductors encompassed by a dielectric sheath, and the sheath is encompassed by a conductive shield. The wires are arranged side-by-side in a row at an end of each wire, where a termination element is connected. The termination element has opposed major faces, with an array of first contacts on a first face, and an array of second contacts on the opposed face, each of the first contact being electrically connected to a corresponding second contact. Each of the signal conductors of the wire elements is connected to a corresponding one of the first contacts. The signal conductors may be a pair of wires arranged in parallel, so that all signal conductors are in a common plane.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2003Date of Patent: September 7, 2004Assignee: The Ludlow Company, LPInventors: Arthur Buck, Eric Eichelberger, Emad Soubh

Patent number: 6651318Abstract: A flexible interconnect cable is manufactured by a method that includes providing a core, and wrapping a conductive shield element about the core. An insulating sheath layer is extruded about the core to encompass the shield element, and a multi-wire cable component having ribbonized ends and detached intermediate portions is connected to an end of the core. The core is removed from the sheath to insert the cable component into the sheath. The resulting assembly has intermediate portions of the cable component that are loosely received within the shield and sheath.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2002Date of Patent: November 25, 2003Assignee: Ludlow Company LPInventors: Arthur Buck, Laurence A. Daane, Malai Hongthong, Cindy Lee Diegel
