Abstract:
1. A method for constructing a cable structure, the method comprising: providing material to an extruder, the extruder comprising: feeding a first conductor bundle through a hypodermic path within the movable pin and extending through a portion of the die; moving the movable pin to at least partially define the volume of the material extruded through the die; extruding the material through the die while the conductor bundle is fed through the hypodermic path, wherein the extruded material surrounds the conductor bundle to form a first leg; splitting, by a splitting member, the first conductor bundle and leg into at least a second and third conductor bundle defining a second and third leg; and dynamically adjusting, for each of the second and third legs, system factors of the extruder and the splitting member to change an outer diameter of the respective leg in a bump region of the respective leg that separates an interface region of the respective leg from a non-interface region of the respective leg.
