Abstract: A system for applying labels to cable or conduit including at least one label and a label applicator. The label applicator including at least one guide roller, at least one tamping device comprising at least one tamping pad for applying at least one label onto the moving cable or conduit, and a guide shoe assembly. The guide shoe assembly comprises a guide shoe, the guide shoe comprises a rounding member, a plurality of springs for providing flexibility to the rounding member when the moving cable or conduit passes the at least one guide shoe, a support mount for supporting the at least one guide shoe, a plurality of pivots disposed between the rounding member and the rounding member support for adjusting the set of springs, and a fitted member for providing an anchor for the at least one guide shoe to connect with the support mount.

Abstract: An electrical cable having an integrally formed jacket and partitioned wall members and process and apparatus for making the same, wherein the electrical cable comprises a non-metallic jacket that encapsulates an insulated conductor and a bare grounding conductor, wherein the insulated conductor and the bare grounding material are separated by a wall that runs the length of the electrical cable and is integrally formed with the jacket. A die assembly unit for manufacturing an electrical cable having an integrally formed jacket and partitioned wall members. The die assembly unit comprising a die assembly nozzle and a die assembly cap. The die assembly nozzle further comprising an extrusion tip with at least one wall channel to allow for the creation of the integrally formed wall members.
