  • Providing length equalization
    Patent number: 8025250
    Abstract: Length equalization may be provided. First, a plurality of conductors may be paid off from a plurality of pay-off devices respectively corresponding to the plurality of conductors to form a cable. The plurality of conductors comprising the cable may then be wound onto a take-up device. During the winding process, a guide device may be rotated to cause the plurality of conductors to have substantially a same length after the cable has been wound onto the take-up device. The guide device may be disposed between the take-up device and the plurality of pay-off devices. The guide device may have holes respectively corresponding to each of the plurality of conductors. Each of the plurality of conductors may pass through a respective hole in the guide device.
