Claim Text:
1. A silicone encased flexible cable, comprising: plural individual conduits configured into a grouped arrangement, wherein the plural individual conduits include communication cables including at least one fluid communication conduit, optic fibers, tubing including pneumatic tubing, fluid tubing, gaseous tubing and/or electrical conductors, wherein the grouped arrangement forms a singular custom shaped grouping to make predetermined use of available installation routing space within a larger device or series of devices; a flexible silicone shaped extruded encasement of the grouped arrangement configured to hold in place the plural individual conduits to maintain the singular custom shaped grouping, wherein the flexible silicone shaped extruded encasement includes a mixture of silicone and predetermined additives deposited around the grouped arrangement of plural individual conduits creating an encasement of the singular custom shape forming a single encased flexible shaped cable in continuous lengths or as assemblies, wherein the mixture of silicone and predetermined additives forming the flexible silicone shaped extruded encasement is cured to set and maintain the singular custom shape of the grouped arrangement forming a silicone encased flexible cable; wherein the flexible encasement mixture of silicone and additives is customized to create differing characteristics including modifying flexibility; wherein the silicone encased flexible cable includes a flexible self supporting shape, a flexible flat shaped cable including indents between each separate individual section that can be split off from other sections into branch runs, and a flexible round shape encasing multiple round cables and tubes grouped together and encased to form a single round cable to reduce space normally lost for use using multiple round cables; and wherein the silicone encased flexible cable may include one or more flexible junction box configured to be integrated into the grouped arrangement, wherein the flexible junction box contains at least one incoming and one outgoing conduit connection and one or more functional devices connected to the junction box.
