Abstract: Embodiments may comprise forming a rigid, tubular outer housing of an electrically conductive material; inserting an electrical cable longitudinally into the outer housing, the electrical cable having an inner conductor and a dielectric jacket surrounding the inner conductor; and, reshaping at least one longitudinal segment of the outer housing to fix the electrical cable inside the outer housing.

Abstract: Embodiments of a connecting element for connecting a first electrical assembly to a second electrical assembly may comprise a rigid, tubular outer housing made of an electrically conductive material and an electrical cable running inside the outer housing along a longitudinal axis of the outer housing. The electrical cable may include at least one inner conductor and a dielectric layer surrounding the at least one inner conductor. At least one segment of the outer housing may be reshaped along the longitudinal axis in such a way as to fix the electrical cable inside the outer housing.

Abstract: Embodiments of a method for the manufacture of a connecting element for connecting one electrical assembly to another may comprise the steps of forming a rigid, tubular outer housing of an electrically conductive material, the outer housing having an axis which extends in a longitudinal direction; inserting longitudinally into the outer housing an electrical cable which has at least one inner conductor and a dielectric jacket surrounding the at least one inner conductor; and, reshaping at least one longitudinal segment of the outer housing to fix the electrical cable inside the outer housing. In some embodiments the reshaping may be carried out by rolling and in certain embodiments may be rolled radially at perimeter segments distributed along the perimeter of the longitudinal segment. Such perimeter segments may have a uniform radius and uniform arc length and may be spaced apart from one another such that a compensation segment is formed between the perimeter segments.
