Abstract:
An electrical cable, comprising:(a) a plurality of individual juxtaposed insulated conductors;(b) the plurality of juxtaposed insulated conductors being frangibly coupled together along a longitudinal length of the juxtaposed insulated conductors, by a frangible coupling of insulation of each of the juxtaposed insulated conductors; and(c) an additional uninsulated conductor, which is electrically isolated from a conductor of each of the plurality of juxtaposed insulated conductors, the additional uninsulated conductor encased within and contacting portions of the insulation of at least two of the plurality of insulated conductors;(d) the electrical cable structured to release the uninsulated conductor when at least one frangibly coupled juxtaposed insulated conductor is separated from at least one other juxtaposed insulated conductor.
