Patent ID: 8692120

Claim:
An electrical control cable of the type comprising: a core made up of a plurality of polymer filaments; a plurality of strands of conductor material extending in the longitudinal direction of said core, distributed uniformly and concentrically around the periphery of said core, in contact in pairs with each other and in contact with said core; and an outer insulating sheath in contact with each strand, wherein said filaments are distributed as a plurality of subassemblies, the filaments of each subassembly being twisted together helically, each subassembly being embedded in a matrix of non metallic material, the subassemblies also being twisted to one another in an overall helix of a pitch and arrangement such that said filaments are prevented from radially escaping between said strands when said strands are splayed apart during a crimping operation involving stripping a portion of said outer insulating sheath.
