For example, as shown in  FIG. 1 , cable subassembly  200  may be arranged to extend along a central longitudinal axis A from a first cable end  203  to an opposite second cable end  204  (e.g., along the X-axis), although it is to be understood that cable subassembly  200  may be flexible along at least a portion of the length of cable subassembly  200  such that it may be arranged in any other suitable shape other than a linear shape along a particular axis in space (e.g., cable subassembly  200  may be bent or coiled or otherwise manipulated into any suitable shape during use or otherwise). Cable subassembly  200  may include a first group of conductors  210  (e.g., a first conductor subassembly or first conductor group), a second group of conductors  220  (e.g., a second conductor subassembly or first conductor group), an insulation subassembly  250  that may be operative to electrically isolate or insulate first conductor group  210  from second conductor group  220  along at least a portion of the length of cable subassembly  200 , a jacket  260 , and/or a cover  270 . First conductor group  210  may extend between a first conductor group first end  213  at first cable end  203  and a first conductor group second end  214  at second cable end  204 , while second conductor group  220  may extend between a second conductor group first end  223  at first cable end  203  and a second conductor group second end  224  at second cable end  204 . Insulation subassembly  250  may include a first insulation  230  that may be disposed about and along at least a portion of first conductor group  210  and/or a second insulation  240  that may be disposed about and along at least a portion of second conductor group  220 . Jacket  260  may be disposed about and along at least a portion of insulation subassembly  250 , while cover  270  may be disposed about and along at least a portion of jacket  260 . 
     First conductor group  210  may extend along a length of cable subassembly  200  (e.g., along a first conductor group central axis A 1  that may be adjacent to central longitudinal axis A) from first end  213  proximate first cable end  203  to opposite second end  214  proximate second cable end  204 . At a cross-section of cable subassembly  200  taken perpendicularly to axis A (e.g., the cross-section of  FIG. 2 ), central axis A 1  of first conductor group  210  may extend through the centroid or geometric center of first conductor group  210  in that cross-section, which may be distanced from central longitudinal axis A by a distance A 1 D, where central longitudinal axis A of cable subassembly  200  may extend through the centroid or geometric center of cable subassembly  200  in that cross-section. For example, in some embodiments, distance A 1 D may be about 0.78 millimeters or may be in any suitable range, such as between about 0.73 millimeters and 0.83 millimeters. First conductor group  210  may include one or more conductors  212  that may be configured to electrically transmit signals between ends  213  and  214  of first conductor group  210 . Each conductor  212  may be any suitable electrically conductive conductor that may be composed of any suitable material including, but not limited to, copper (e.g., a soft copper (e.g., annealed soft bare copper wire), a tin-plated soft copper, a silver-plated copper alloy, etc.), aluminum, steel, and any combination thereof. Although  FIGS. 2 and 3  may only show forty-one (41) conductors  212  in first conductor group  210 , it is to be understood that first conductor group  210  may include any suitable number of conductors  212 , such as thirty-five (35) to forty-nine (49) conductors, or even just one (1) conductor, in some embodiments. Each conductor  212  may be of any suitable geometry and, as shown in  FIG. 2 , may have a diameter d 1  or any other suitable cross-sectional width. For example, in some embodiments, diameter d 1  of conductor  212  may be about 0.16 millimeters. Each conductor  212  may be any suitable American Wire Gauge (AWG), such as number 34 AWG, while first conductor group  210  may have an effective size with any suitable AWG, such as number 18 AWG, and while second conductor group  220  may have an effective size with any suitable AWG, such as number 18 AWG. 
     First conductor group  210  (e.g., the collection of conductors  212 ) may be of any suitable shape (e.g., as may be defined by the geometry of a first interior region  211  within an interior surface of first insulation  230 ), such as “D-shaped” or semi-circular or less than semi-circular (e.g., a circular segment (e.g., a shape with an arc less than half the circumference of a circle)) or the like in cross-section and, as shown in  FIG. 2 , may include a chord with a chord length DC 1  extending between end points of an arc with an arc height DH 1 . For example, in some embodiments, chord length DC 1  of first conductor group  210  may be about 1.92 millimeters and/or arc height DH 1  of first conductor group  210  may be about 0.80 millimeters. Moreover, in some embodiments, as shown in  FIGS. 2 and 3 , amidst the one or more conductors  212  of first conductor group  210  (e.g., within the space that may be defined by an interior surface of first insulation  230 ), cable subassembly  200  may include at least one first support member  212   s  (e.g., proximate central axis A 1  of first conductor group  210 ) that may be provided to extend along at least a portion of the length of cable subassembly  200  for providing structural reinforcement or filler material, where each first support member may be composed of any suitable material, such as a para-aramid synthetic fiber (e.g., 1500 Denier Kevlar™ fiber). While first conductor group  210  may extend along first conductor group axis A 1  (e.g., parallel to central longitudinal axis A of cable subassembly  200 ), one, some, or all conductors  212  of first conductor group  210  may be twisted in a lay direction about a twist axis of first conductor group  210  (e.g., first conductor group axis A 1  or any other axis that may extend through first conductor group  210 ) along at least a portion of the length of first conductor group  210  (e.g., in a first lay direction of arrow LD 1  about the twist axis of first conductor group  210  or in a second lay direction of arrow LD 2  about the twist axis of first conductor group  210 ). Regardless of the lay direction in which conductor(s)  212  of first conductor group  210  may be twisted about the twist axis of first conductor group  210 , the lay length of each twisted conductor (i.e., the distance required for a single conductor  212  to be turned 360° about the twist axis of first conductor group  210 ) may be any suitable length, such as in a range between 15 millimeters and 25 millimeters, or a maximum length of 20 millimeters. 
     Second conductor group  220  may extend along a length of cable subassembly  200  (e.g., along a second conductor group central axis A 2  that may adjacent to central longitudinal axis A) from first end  223  proximate first cable end  203  to opposite second end  224  proximate second cable end  204 . At a cross-section of cable subassembly  200  taken perpendicularly to axis A (e.g., the cross-section of  FIG. 2 ), central axis A 2  of second conductor group  220  may extend through the centroid or geometric center of second conductor group  220  in that cross-section, which may be distanced from central longitudinal axis A by a distance A 2 D, where central longitudinal axis A of cable subassembly  200  may extend through the centroid or geometric center of cable subassembly  200  in that cross-section. For example, in some embodiments, distance A 2 D may be about 0.78 millimeters or may be in any suitable range, such as between about 0.73 millimeters and 0.83 millimeters. Second conductor group  220  may include one or more conductors  222  that may be configured to electrically transmit signals between ends  223  and  224  of second conductor group  220 . Each conductor  222  may be any suitable electrically conductive conductor that may be composed of any suitable material including, but not limited to, copper (e.g., a soft copper (e.g., annealed soft bare copper wire), a tin-plated soft copper, a silver-plated copper alloy, etc.), aluminum, steel, and any combination thereof. Although  FIGS. 2 and 3  may only show forty-one (41) conductors  222  in second conductor group  220 , it is to be understood that second conductor group  220  may include any suitable number of conductors  222 , such as thirty-five (35) to forty-nine (49) conductors, or even just one (1) conductor, in some embodiments. Each conductor  222  may be of any suitable geometry and, as shown in  FIG. 2 , may have a diameter d 2  or any other suitable cross-sectional width. For example, in some embodiments, diameter d 2  of conductor  222  may be about 0.16 millimeters. Each conductor  222  may be any suitable American Wire Gauge (AWG), such as number 34 AWG, while second conductor group  220  may have an effective size with any suitable AWG, such as number 18 AWG, and while first conductor group  210  may have an effective size with any suitable AWG, such as number 18 AWG. 
     Second conductor group  220  (e.g., the collection of conductors  222 ) may be of any suitable shape (e.g., as may be defined by the geometry of a second interior region  221  within an interior surface of second insulation  240 ), such as “D-shaped” or semi-circular or less than semi-circular (e.g., a circular segment (e.g., a shape with an arc less than half the circumference of a circle)) or the like in cross-section and, as shown in  FIG. 2 , may include a chord with a chord length DC 2  extending between end points of an arc with an arc height DH 2 . For example, in some embodiments, chord length DC 2  of second conductor group  220  may be about 1.92 millimeters and/or arc height DH 2  of second conductor group  220  may be about 0.80 millimeters. Moreover, in some embodiments, as shown in  FIGS. 2 and 3 , amidst the one or more conductors  222  of second conductor group  220  (e.g., within the space that may be defined by an interior surface of second insulation  240 ), cable subassembly  200  may include at least one second support member  222   s  (e.g., proximate central axis A 2  of second conductor group  220 ) that may be provided to extend along at least a portion of the length of cable subassembly  200  for providing structural reinforcement or filler material, where each second support member may be composed of any suitable material, such as a para-aramid synthetic fiber (e.g., 1500 Denier Kevlar™ fiber). While second conductor group  220  may extend along second conductor group axis A 2  (e.g., parallel to central longitudinal axis A of cable subassembly  200 ), one, some, or all conductors  222  of second conductor group  220  may be twisted in a lay direction about a twist axis of second conductor group  220  (e.g., second conductor group axis A 2  or any other axis that may extend through second conductor group  220 ) along at least a portion of the length of second conductor group  220  (e.g., in a first lay direction of arrow LD 1  about the twist axis of second conductor group  220  or in a second lay direction of arrow LD 2  about the twist axis of second conductor group  220 ). Regardless of the lay direction in which conductor(s)  222  of second conductor group  220  may be twisted about the twist axis of second conductor group  220 , the lay length of each twisted conductor (i.e., the distance required for a single conductor  222  to be turned 360° about the twist axis of second conductor group  220 ) may be any suitable length, such as in a range between 15 millimeters and 25 millimeters, or a maximum length of 20 millimeters. While  FIGS. 2 and 3  may show interior region  221  of second conductor group  220  to be shaped similarly to interior region  211  of first conductor group  210  and while  FIGS. 2 and 3  may show each conductor  212  to be shaped similarly to each conductor  222 , it is to be understood that first conductor group  210  and second conductor group  220  may each be shaped differently and may each include different numbers of conductors of different sizes and/or shapes. 
     Insulation subassembly  250  may include first insulation  230 , which may be disposed about and along at least a portion of first conductor group  210 , and/or second insulation  240 , which may be disposed about and along at least a portion of second conductor group  220 , such that insulation subassembly  250  may be operative to electrically isolate or insulate first conductor group  210  from second conductor group  220  along at least a portion of the length of cable subassembly  200 . Insulation  230  and/or insulation  240  may be any suitable insulating material or materials of any suitable structure that may be formed by any suitable technique or techniques. For example, one or each of insulation  230  and insulation  240  may be any suitable polymeric tape that may include a polymeric sheet that may optionally include an adhesive portion on one or both surfaces. Such a polymeric sheet may be constructed from any suitable plastic, such as polyethylene terephthalate (e.g., PET, such as Mylar™), Kapton™ tape, and the like. Such a sheet may be wrapped around a particular conductor group or both conductor groups in any suitable manner and may be wrapped in any suitable lay direction with respect to any suitable axis (e.g., axis A, A 1 D, A 2 D, etc.). Alternatively or additionally, one or each of insulation  230  and insulation  240  may be extruded about a particular conductor group or both conductor groups in any suitable manner. One or each of insulation  230  and insulation  240  may be any suitable material or combination of materials, including, but not limited to, plastics, rubbers, fluoropolymers, which may be foamed. The geometry of insulation  230  and insulation  240  may be formed as a single component or as two or more distinct components. 
     Insulation subassembly  250  may have any suitable geometry for providing appropriate insulation based on the materials of cable subassembly  200  and/or the intended use of cable subassembly  200 . In some embodiments, as shown, first insulation  230  may have a thickness IT 1 , which may be any suitable thickness, such as a thickness in a range between 0.33 millimeters and 0.43 millimeters, or an average thickness of about 0.38 millimeters. The magnitude of thickness IT 1  may be substantially consistent about the entirety of first interior region  211  (e.g., in a cross-section, such as in the cross-section of  FIG. 2  and/or in the cross-section of  FIG. 3 ), for example, such that the minimum magnitude of thickness IT 1  may be 0.33 millimeters and/or such that the minimum average magnitude of thickness IT about first interior region  211  may be 0.38 millimeters. Additionally or alternatively, as shown, second insulation  240  may have a thickness IT 2 , which may be any suitable thickness, such as a thickness in a range between 0.33 millimeters and 0.43 millimeters, or an average thickness of about 0.38 millimeters. The magnitude of thickness IT 2  may be substantially consistent about the entirety of second interior region  221  (e.g., in a cross-section, such as in the cross-section of  FIG. 2  and/or in the cross-section of  FIG. 3 ), for example, such that the minimum magnitude of thickness IT 2  may be 0.33 millimeters and/or such that the minimum average magnitude of thickness IT 2  about second interior region  221  may be 0.38 millimeters. Therefore, in some embodiments, a particular portion of insulation subassembly  250  may provide a thickness IT 3  between first interior region  211  and second interior region  221  (e.g., between first conductor group  210  and second conductor group  220 ) for electrically isolating or insulating conductor(s)  212  from conductor(s)  222 , where thickness IT 3  may be any suitable thickness, such as a thickness in a range between 0.66 millimeters and 0.86 millimeters, or an average thickness of about 0.76 millimeters. The magnitude of thickness IT 3  may be substantially consistent along the entirety of the space between the chord of first interior region  211  and the chord of second interior region  221  (e.g., in a cross-section, such as in the cross-section of  FIG. 2  and/or in the cross-section of  FIG. 3 ), for example, such that the minimum magnitude of thickness IT 3  may be 0.66 millimeters and/or such that the minimum average magnitude of thickness IT 3  may be 0.76 millimeters. 
     While first conductor group  210  and second conductor group  220  may, respectively, extend along first conductor group axis A 1  and second conductor group axis A 2  (e.g., parallel to central longitudinal axis A of cable subassembly  200 ), each of which may include conductors that are twisted about a twist axis of the particular conductor group, first conductor group  210  and second conductor group  220  may together be twisted (e.g., along with insulation subassembly  250 ) in a first lay direction about central longitudinal axis A or any other suitable twist axis of subassembly  200  along the length of at least a portion of cable subassembly  200 . For example, as shown in the differences between  FIG. 2  and  FIG. 3 , first conductor group  210  and second conductor group  220  may be twisted in a lay direction about central longitudinal axis A along at least a portion of the length of cable subassembly  200  (e.g., in a first lay direction of arrow LD 1  about the twist axis of subassembly  200  or in a second lay direction of arrow LD 2  about the twist axis of subassembly  200 ). Regardless of the lay direction in which each one of first conductor group  210  and second conductor group  220  may be twisted about axis A or any other suitable twist axis of subassembly  200 , the lay length of one, some, or all conductors of first conductor group  210  and/or of second conductor group  220  (i.e., the distance required for a single conductor to be turned 360° about the twist axis of subassembly  200 ) may be any suitable length, such as in a range between 30 millimeters and 40 millimeters, or a maximum length of 35 millimeters. With respect to  FIG. 2 , for example, regardless of whether the lay direction in which first conductor group  210  and second conductor group  220  may together be twisted about axis A or any other suitable twist axis of subassembly  200  is the direction of arrow LD 1  or LD 2 , the lay direction in which conductors  212  of group  210  may be twisted about a twist axis of group  210  may be either the direction of arrow LD 1  or LD 2 , and the lay direction in which conductors  222  of group  220  may be twisted about a twist axis of group  220  may be either the direction of arrow LD 1  or LD 2 . In some embodiments, as shown, first conductor group  210  and second conductor group  220  may extend parallel to one another and along longitudinal axis A (e.g., center axis A 1  of first conductor group  210  and center axis A 2  of second conductor group  220  may always be separated from one another by a distance (e.g., the sum of distances A 1 D and A 2 D), which may be substantially the same along at least a portion of the length of subassembly  200 ). Therefore, a central axis of each one of first conductor group  210  and second conductor group  220  may be removed from longitudinal axis A of cable subassembly  200  at any cross-section along the length of cable subassembly  200  (e.g., as shown in  FIG. 2  and  FIG. 3 ). For example, the distance between central axis A 1  and longitudinal axis A in the cross-section of  FIG. 2  may be the same or substantially the same as the distance between central axis A 1  and longitudinal axis A in the cross-section of  FIG. 3 , where in each cross-section, central axis A 1  of first conductor group  210  may extend through the centroid or geometric center of first conductor group  210  in that cross-section, and where central longitudinal axis A of cable subassembly  200  may extend through the centroid or geometric center of cable subassembly  200  in that cross-section. Additionally or alternatively, the distance between central axis A 2  and longitudinal axis A in the cross-section of  FIG. 2  may be the same or substantially the same as the distance between central axis A 2  and longitudinal axis A in the cross-section of  FIG. 3 , where in each cross-section, central axis A 2  of second conductor group  220  may extend through the centroid or geometric center of second conductor group  220  in that cross-section, and where central longitudinal axis A of cable subassembly  200  may extend through the centroid or geometric center of cable subassembly  200  in that cross-section. Additionally or alternatively, the distance between central axis A 1  and central axis A 2  in the cross-section of  FIG. 2  may be the same or substantially the same as the distance between central axis A 1  and central axis A 2  in the cross-section of  FIG. 3 , where in each cross-section, central axis A 1  of first conductor group  210  may extend through the centroid or geometric center of first conductor group  210  in that cross-section, and where in each cross-section, central axis A 2  of second conductor group  220  may extend through the centroid or geometric center of second conductor group  220  in that cross-section. In some embodiments, the distance between longitudinal axis A and central axis A 1  may be the same or substantially the same as the distance between longitudinal axis A and central axis A 2 , either in one cross-section, some cross-sections, or all cross-sections. 
     Cable subassembly  200  may be assembled using any suitable procedure(s). In some embodiments, any suitable number of conductors  212  may be twisted in a particular lay direction (e.g., about the twist axis of first conductor group  210 ) to form a twisted collection of conductors that may be in any suitable geometry (e.g., a circular cross-sectional geometry). Then that collection of conductors  212  may be formed into a desired shape (e.g., a D-shape) by putting at least a portion of that twisted collection of conductors  212  through a die or roller(s) of the shape (e.g., in any suitable extrusion process). Then, that shaped and twisted collection may be provided as group  210  and may have insulation  230  provided about that group  210 . A similar process may be done to provide insulation  240  about group  220 . Then, each one of insulated group  210  and insulated group  220  may be put through a respective aligning die (e.g., such that an arc of each shaped and twisted collection of conductors defines a particular part of a circumference of a circle (e.g., a circle CR of  FIG. 3  (e.g., a circle with a center that may be a point along the twist axis of subassembly  200 ))) and then they may be twisted together about any suitable twist axis of subassembly  200 , such as longitudinal axis A or any other suitable axis that may extend through a space within which the aligning dies are twisted, where adhesive may or may not be provided between insulated group  210  and insulated group  220  prior, during, or after the twisting of the insulated groups. Jacket  260  may then be provided to fix the twisted relationship of insulated group  210  and insulated group  220 . 
     Jacket  260  may be disposed around insulation subassembly  250  along a length of cable subassembly  200 . Jacket  260  may be any suitable insulating and/or conductive material that may be provided (e.g., extruded) about insulation subassembly  250  for protecting the internal structure of cable subassembly  200  from environmental threats (e.g., impact damage, debris, heat, fluids, and/or the like). For example, jacket  260  may be a thermoplastic copolyester (“TPC”) (e.g., Arnitel™ XG5857) that can be extruded around the outer periphery of insulation subassembly  250 . Jacket  260  may be provided around the outer periphery of insulation subassembly  250  with any suitable thickness JT and may provide an overall jacket diameter (or any other suitable cross-sectional width) JW. For example, in some embodiments, thickness JT of jacket  260  may have any suitable magnitude, such as a thickness in a range between 0.61 millimeters and 0.91 millimeters, or an average thickness of about 0.76 millimeters. The magnitude of thickness JT may be substantially consistent about the entirety of insulation subassembly  250  (e.g., in a cross-section, such as in the cross-section of  FIG. 2  and/or in the cross-section of  FIG. 3 ), for example, such that the minimum magnitude of thickness JT may be 0.61 millimeters and/or such that the minimum average magnitude of thickness JT about insulation subassembly  250  may be 0.76 millimeters. Additionally or alternatively, maximum cross-sectional width JW of jacket  260  may have any suitable magnitude, such as a width in a range between 4.75 millimeters and 4.95 millimeters, or about 4.85 millimeters. Jacket  260  may be operative to provide the outermost layer for at least a portion of cable subassembly  200  and may include any suitable surface finish (e.g., SPI Finish-D2). 
     Alternatively, in some embodiments, a cover  270  may be disposed around jacket  260  along a length of cable subassembly  200 , such that cover  270  may be operative to provide the outer most layer for at least a portion of cable subassembly  200 . Cover  270  may be any suitable insulating and/or conductive material that may be provided (e.g., braided) about jacket  260  for protecting the internal structure of cable subassembly  200  from environmental threats (e.g., impact damage, debris, heat, fluids, and/or the like). For example, cover  270  may be a nylon and/or polyester that may be braided about the outer periphery of jacket  260 . Cover  270  may be provided around the outer periphery of jacket  260  with any suitable thickness CT and may provide an overall cover diameter (or any other suitable cross-sectional width) CW. For example, in some embodiments, thickness CT of cover  270  may have any suitable magnitude, such as a thickness in a range between 0.72 millimeters and 0.92 millimeters, or an average thickness of about 0.82 millimeters. The magnitude of thickness CT may be substantially consistent about the entirety of jacket  260  (e.g., in a cross-section, such as in the cross-section of  FIG. 2  and/or in the cross-section of  FIG. 3 ), for example, such that the average magnitude of thickness CT about jacket  260  may be 0.82 millimeters. Additionally or alternatively, maximum cross-sectional width CW of cover  270  may have any suitable magnitude, such as a width in a range between 6.3 millimeters and 6.7 millimeters, or about 6.5 millimeters. 
     Insulation subassembly  250  may at least partially define and retain the cross-sectional shape of each one of first conductor group  210  and second conductor group  220  as similar shapes, complimentary shapes, or different shapes. In some embodiments, as shown in  FIGS. 2 and 3 , for example, first interior region  211  of first insulation  230  about first conductor group  210  may have a cross-sectional area with a first D-shape (e.g., an outer periphery of first conductor group  210  in the cross-section of  FIG. 3  may define a shape of a first circular segment that may be defined by a chord C 1  extending between points P 1  and P 2  of an arc R 1  also extending between points P 1  and P 2 ), while second interior region  221  of second insulation  240  about second conductor group  220  may have a cross-sectional area with a second D-shape (e.g., an outer periphery of first conductor group  210  in the cross-section of  FIG. 3  may define a shape of a second circular segment that may be defined by a chord C 2  extending between points P 3  and P 4  of an arc R 2  also extending between points P 3  and P 4 ). The shape of first interior region  211  about first conductor group  210  may be defined by at least a first portion of a surface of insulation subassembly  250  (e.g., insulation  230 ), whereas the shape of first interior region  221  about second conductor group  220  may be defined by at least a second portion of a surface of insulation subassembly  250  (e.g., insulation  240 ). In some embodiments, as shown, insulation subassembly  250  may be configured to position first interior region  211  with respect to second interior region  221  such that significant portions of the cross-sectional shapes of interior regions  211  and  221  may combine to form a significant portion of a circular shape, thereby reducing the cross-sectional area inhabited by interior regions  211  and  221 . For example, as shown in  FIG. 3 , each one of arc R 1  of interior region  211  and arc R 2  of interior region  221  may define a particular portion of a circumference of a circle CR (e.g., the entirety or substantially the entirety of arc R 1  may define a portion of a circle&#39;s circumference that may also be partially defined by the entirety or substantially the entirety of arc R 2 ). This may allow insulation subassembly  250  to have a circular cross-section with a reduced cross-sectional diameter IW while also packing as many conductors (e.g., conductors  212  and  222 ) as possible within the interior of insulation subassembly  250  (e.g., as compared to a cable subassembly in which each one of interior regions  211  and  221  may be circular yet also separated by a particular distance IT 3 , which results in a larger cross-sectional diameter IW). Various other shapes and geometries may be provided to enable such reduction in the overall size of cable subassembly  200 . For example, rather than being defined by an arc and an associated chord, each interior region may be defined by a curve similar to an arc but, rather than also being defined by a straight chord extending between the end points of that curve, each interior region may also be defined by a non-straight portion extending between the end points of that curve. For example, rather than each being straight, one or both of chords C 1  and C 2  may be non-linear (e.g., any other suitable geometry), for example, such that the combined cross-sectional shape of interior regions  211  and  221  may resemble the tajitsu symbol (e.g., the yin and yang symbol). 
     Therefore, cable subassembly  200  may be configured to provide a cable that may be safely used with cable assembly  100  as an AC power cordset that may have any suitable electrical rating, such as an electrical rating of 10 amperes (A), 125 volts alternating current (VAC). In some embodiments, such a cable subassembly  200  may be operative to meet the requirements of UL Standard 62 (e.g., each one of IT 1  and IT 2  may include about 0.33 millimeter minimum thickness and 0.38 millimeter minimum average thickness with a 35 millimeter lay length max (right), JT may include about 0.61 millimeter minimum thickness and 0.76 millimeter minimum average thickness, group  210  may include about 41 conductors  212  with diameter d 1  of about 0.16 millimeters and 20 millimeter lay length max (right) and filler  212   s  of about 1500D aramid fiber, and/or group  220  may include about 41 conductors  222  with diameter d 2  of about 0.16 millimeters and 20 millimeter lay length max (right) and filler  222   s  of about 1500D aramid fiber, which may enable a JW of about 4.85 millimeters+/−0.10 millimeters). Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, such a cable subassembly  200  may be operative to meet the requirements of any other suitable standard. For example, cable subassembly  200  may be operative to meet the requirements of EN50525/IEC62821 (e.g., each one of IT 1  and IT 2  may include about 0.35 millimeter minimum thickness and 0.50 millimeter minimum average thickness with a 70 millimeter lay length max (right), JT may include about 0.41 millimeter minimum thickness and 0.60 or 0.65 millimeter minimum average thickness, group  210  may include about 67 conductors  212  with diameter d 1  of about 0.12 millimeters and 20 millimeter+/−5 millimeter lay length max (right) and filler  212   s  of about 1000D aramid fiber, and/or group  220  may include about 67 conductors  222  with diameter d 2  of about 0.12 millimeters and 20 millimeter+/−5 millimeter lay length max (right) and filler  222   s  of about 1000D aramid fiber, which may enable a JW of about 4.91 millimeters+/−0.10 millimeters). As another example, cable subassembly  200  may be operative to meet the requirements of JCS 4509 (e.g., each one of IT 1  and IT 2  may include about 0.48 millimeter minimum thickness and 0.54 millimeter minimum average thickness with a 46 millimeter lay length max (right), JT may include about 0.70 millimeter minimum thickness and 0.90 millimeter minimum average thickness, group  210  may include about 67 conductors  212  with diameter d 1  of about 0.12 millimeters and 20 millimeter lay length max (right) and filler  212   s  of about 200D or 1000D aramid fiber, and/or group  220  may include about 67 conductors  222  with diameter d 2  of about 0.12 millimeters and 20 millimeter lay length max (right) and filler  222   s  of about 200D or 1000D aramid fiber, which may enable a JW of about 5.32 millimeters+/−0.10 millimeters). As another example, cable subassembly  200  may be operative to meet the requirements of IS  694  (e.g., each one of IT 1  and IT 2  may include about 0.44 millimeter minimum thickness and 0.60 millimeter minimum average thickness with a 70 millimeter lay length max (right), JT may include about 0.52 millimeter minimum thickness and 0.90 millimeter minimum average thickness, group  210  may include about 24 conductors  212  with diameter d 1  of about 0.20 millimeters and 20 millimeter lay length max (right) and filler  212   s  of about 200D or 1000D aramid fiber, and/or group  220  may include about 24 conductors  222  with diameter d 2  of about 0.20 millimeters and 20 millimeter lay length max (right) and filler  222   s  of about 200D or 1000D aramid fiber, which may enable a JW of about 5.82 millimeters+/−0.10 millimeters). 
     As shown in  FIGS. 4-11 , first cable connector subassembly  300  may include at least two contacts, such as contact  310  and contact  320 . Contact  310  may be electrically coupled to first conductor group  210  of subassembly  200  (e.g., to one, some, or each conductor  212  of first conductor group  210 ) and may be operative to be electrically coupled to a remote subsystem (e.g., subsystem  500 ), while contact  320  may be electrically coupled to second conductor group  220  of subassembly  200  (e.g., to one, some, or each conductor  222  of second conductor group  220 ) and may be operative to be electrically coupled to the remote subsystem (e.g., subsystem  500 ). In other embodiments, it is to be understood that first cable connector subassembly  300  may include at least three contacts, each of which may be electrically coupled to a respective one of conductor groups  210 ′,  220 ′, and  280 ′ of subassembly  200 ′. Contact  310  may include a blade portion  313  and a coupling or receiving portion  314 . Receiving portion  314  may be operative to interact with a cable conductor. For example, receiving portion  314  may be operative to receive a portion of first conductor group  210  at or near first end  213  proximate first cable end  203  (e.g., a portion of at least one conductor  212  or the entirety of first conductor group  210  adjacent first end  213  that may be exposed and not surrounded by insulation subassembly  250 ) and then receiving portion  314  may be mechanically deformed or compressed (e.g., crimped) about that received conductor portion for electrically coupling contact  310  to first conductor group  210  (e.g., as shown in  FIG. 5 ). Blade portion  313  may be operative to interact with a remote subsystem (e.g., blade portion  313  may be operative to be received and at least partially held by respective female-type contact  510  of first device subsystem  500 ) for electrically coupling blade portion  313  with the remote subsystem and, thus, for electrically coupling the remote subsystem with first conductor group  210  via contact  310 . Similarly, contact  320  may include a coupling or receiving portion  324  for receiving and being electrically coupled to at least a portion of second conductor group  220  (e.g., through crimping) as well as a blade portion  323  that may be operative to interact with a remote subsystem (e.g., blade portion  323  may be operative to be received and at least partially held by respective female-type contact  520  of first device subsystem  500 ) for electrically coupling blade portion  323  with the remote subsystem and, thus, for electrically coupling the remote subsystem with second conductor group  220  via contact  320 . Each one of contacts  310  and  320  may be made of any suitable conductive material or combination of conductive materials for enabling communication of electrical signals between first device subsystem  500  and at least one conductor of cable subassembly  200 . 
     Once contact  310  has been electrically coupled (e.g., crimped) to first conductor group  210  and once contact  320  has been electrically coupled (e.g., crimped) to second conductor group  220 , a body component  330  of first cable connector subassembly  300  may be provided for additional structure. For example, as shown in  FIG. 6 , body component  330  may be provided to encompass a portion of contact  310  (e.g., receiving portion  314 ), a portion of contact  320  (e.g., receiving portion  324 ), and a portion of cable subassembly  200  (e.g., any portion of first conductor group  210  and/or second conductor group  220  and/or insulation subassembly  250  that may not be surrounded by jacket  260  and/or cover  270  at first cable end  203 ). Such provisioning of body component  330  may be operative to protect and/or reinforce the electrical and mechanical coupling of contact  310  and first conductor group  210  (e.g., at receiving portion  314 ) and to protect and/or reinforce the electrical and mechanical coupling of contact  320  and second conductor group  220  (e.g., at receiving portion  324 ), while still enabling blade portions  313  and  323  to be exposed for potential interaction with a remote subsystem. As shown in  FIG. 5 , tape  340  or any other suitable component may be provided about a portion of cable subassembly  200 , such as around an end of cover  270  (e.g., to hold any loose ends of a braided cover tightly against cable subassembly  200 ). Moreover, as shown in  FIG. 6 , whether or not such tape  340  may be provided about such an end of cover  270 , a portion of body component  330  may be operative to cover a portion of cable subassembly  200  that may include an end of insulation  230  and/or an end of insulation  240  and/or an end of jacket  260  and/or an end of cover  270 . Such provisioning of body component  330  about one or more portions of cable subassembly  200  (e.g., an end portion of first conductor group  210  and/or of second conductor group  220  and/or of insulation subassembly  250  and/or of cover  270  and/or of jacket  260  at first cable end  203 ) may be operative to protect and/or further insulate conductors  212  and  222  of cable subassembly  200 . 
     Additional insulation of cable subassembly  200  that may be provided by body component  330  may enable one or more portions of cable subassembly  200  to have a different geometry at its portion protected by body component  330  than at another portion that is not protected by body component  330 . For example, while each one of first conductor group  210  and second conductor group  220  may be configured to have a D-shaped cross-section along a majority of the length of cable subassembly  200  (e.g., as shown in  FIGS. 2 and 3 ), the cross-sectional shape of each one of first conductor group  210  and the cross-sectional shape of second conductor group  220  may transition from such a D-shape to a circular shape (e.g., as shown in  FIGS. 4 and 5 ) near first cable end  203  that may be covered by a portion of cable connector subassembly  300  (e.g., by body component  330 ). This transition in geometry of each conductor group to a circular cross-sectional shape may be enabled while maintaining a substantially constant outer width CW of cable subassembly  200  by varying (e.g., reducing) the thickness of insulation subassembly  250  about the conductor groups (e.g., reducing at least a portion of the cross-sectional thickness of thickness IT 1  and/or thickness IT 2 ), where any loss of outer insulation provided by such variation in insulation subassembly  250  may be made up for by insulation that may be provided by cable connector subassembly  300  (e.g., by body component  330 ). Such a circular cross-sectional shape of first conductor group  210  and/or of second conductor group  220  at first cable end  203  may be operative to enable a more robust and/or easier coupling with a receiving portion  314 / 324  of a respective contact  310 / 320 . Alternatively, the cross-sectional shape of first conductor group  210  and/or second conductor group  220  may be the same at first cable end  203  as it is at another portion of cable subassembly  200  (e.g., D-shaped, as shown in  FIGS. 2 and 3 ). 
     In some embodiments, as shown in  FIG. 8 , once body component  330  has been provided, an outer component  360  of first cable connector subassembly  300  may be provided for additional structure. For example, as shown, outer component  360  may be operative to surround the entirety of body component  330  but not blade portions  313  and  323 , such that blade portions  313  and  323  may remain exposed for potential interaction with a remote subsystem (e.g., with contacts  510  and  520  of subsystem  500 ). For example, as shown in  FIG. 9 , each one of blade portions  313  and  323  may extend (e.g., in the +X-direction) a length DL from an end of connector subassembly  300 , where length DL may have any suitable magnitude, such as in a range between 16.50 millimeters and 17.50 millimeters or may be about 17.00 millimeters. A maximum external cross-sectional width NW of connector subassembly  300  at its end from which blade portions  313  and  323  extend may be any suitable magnitude, such as in a range between 24.77 millimeters and 25.27 millimeters or may be about 25.02 millimeters. Additionally or alternatively, the length NL of connector subassembly  300  from the tips of blade portions  313  and  323  to the end of gripping component  350  may be any suitable magnitude, such as in a range between 51.80 millimeters and 53.40 millimeters or may be about 52.60 millimeters. Each one of body component  330  and/or outer component  360  of cable connector subassembly  300  may be formed using any suitable material(s) using any suitable techniques. For example, component  330  may be molded (e.g., injection molded) using any suitable material (e.g., plastic), while component  360  may be molded (e.g., over molded over component  330 ) using any suitable material (e.g., a thermoplastic polymer (e.g., DSM Arnitel™ XG5858 TPC-ET)). Component  360  may differ from component  330  with respect to any suitable characteristic, such as size, shape, color, flexibility, deformability, tactility, ability to repel certain fluids, and/or the like. Component  360  may be operative to provide the outer most layer of at least a portion of cable connector subassembly  300  and may, therefore, be treated so as to provide any suitable desired aesthetic properties. Additionally or alternatively, component  360  may be operative to define at least a portion of the flexibility of connector subassembly  300  about cable subassembly  200  for at least partially defining a strain relief for cable assembly  100  between connector subassembly  300  and cable subassembly  200 . 
     Connector subassembly  300  may also include a gripping component  350  that may be operative to prevent material from seeping onto a particular portion of cable subassembly  200  (e.g., a portion of cover  270 ) when that material is being used to provide body component  330  and/or outer component  360 . For example, as shown in  FIG. 7 , at any suitable moment during the formation of connector subassembly  300  (e.g., before or after or during the provisioning of body component  330 ), gripping component  350  may be positioned about a particular portion of cable subassembly  200  along its length, such as at a position P 5  along cable subassembly  200  about an outer surface of cable subassembly  200  (e.g., cover  270  or jacket  260  if no cover  270  is provided). As shown in  FIG. 11 , for example, gripping component  350  may include a base body  352 , which may be any suitable shape (e.g., toroidal) with any suitable maximum cross-sectional outer width GW and any suitable length BL and any suitable thickness BT, and which may define a main opening  351  having any suitable maximum cross-sectional width MO that may be operative to surround and contact an outer surface of cable subassembly  200  (e.g., cover  270 ). For example, cross-sectional width MO may have a magnitude in a range between 6.25 millimeters and 6.35 millimeters or may be about 6.30 millimeters, such that it may be held (e.g., due to an interference fit) about width CW of jacket  260 , which may be in a range between 6.3 millimeters and 6.7 millimeters, or about 6.5 millimeters. Therefore, MO may be smaller than CW, but may alternatively be bigger or the same size. Outer width GW may have any suitable magnitude, such as in a range between 11.89 millimeters and 12.09 millimeters or may be about 11.99 millimeters. Length BL may have any suitable magnitude, such as in a range between 1.90 millimeters and 2.10 millimeters or may be about 2.00 millimeters. Thickness BT may have any suitable magnitude, such as in a range between 5.54 millimeters and 5.84 millimeters or may be about 5.69 millimeters. 
     As also shown in  FIG. 11 , for example, gripping component  350  may include an extension body  354  that may be coupled to base body  352  at one extension end  353  and that may extend away from base body  352  to another extension end  355  (e.g., generally in the +X-direction towards cable end  203  when component  350  is positioned about cable subassembly  200 ). Extension body  354  may be any suitable shape and may extend any suitable length EL away from base body  352 . As shown, a portion (e.g., a majority) of extension body  354  may also define a portion of main opening  351  having maximum cross-sectional width MO similar to that of base body  352 . However, as also shown, another portion of extension body  354  (e.g., proximal to and/or at extension end  355  may define a reduced opening  357  having a maximum cross-sectional width RO that may be operative to surround and contact an outer surface of cable subassembly  200  (e.g., cover  270 ). For example, cross-sectional width RO may have a magnitude in a range of between 5.85 millimeters and 5.95 millimeters or may be about 5.90 millimeters, such that extension body  354  at reduced opening  357  may be even more tightly held (e.g., due to a stronger interference fit) about width CW of jacket  260  than may base body  352  at main opening  351 . For example, as shown, one or more gripping fingers  356  provided on an interior surface of extension body  354  may be operative to dig into or otherwise grip an exterior surface of cable subassembly  200  positioned within reduced opening  357  (e.g., as shown in  FIG. 10 ), which may prevent any material (e.g., any material used to form component  330  and/or component  360 ) from seeping in between gripping component  350  and cable assembly  220  (e.g., in the −X-direction). 
     Extension body  354  may be shaped to include a ramp portion  358  that may extend from extension end  355  to an extension intermediate point  359  and that may increase the outer cross-sectional width of extension body  354  from the magnitude of width MO at extension end  355  to the magnitude of width RW at intermediate point  359 , where that magnitude may gradually increase such that ramp portion  358  may be a gradual or linear ramp or where that magnitude may increase in any other suitable manner (e.g., step-wise). Width RW may have any suitable magnitude, such as in a range between 7.80 millimeters and 8.00 millimeters or may be about 7.90 millimeters. Such a ramp may enable any material (e.g., any material used to form component  330  and/or component  360 ) that may intend to travel along gripping component  350  (e.g., in the −X-direction) may do so along the exterior surface of that ramp and not under gripping fingers  356  between gripping component  350  and cable subassembly  200 . Such a ramp may have any suitable length RL, which may have any suitable magnitude, such as in a range between 0.75 millimeters and 1.75 millimeters or may be about 1.25 millimeters. Additionally or alternatively, as shown, extension body  354  may be shaped to include a valley portion  358   v  that may extend from extension intermediate point  359  to extension end  353  and that may provide a decreased outer cross-sectional width of extension body  354  from the magnitude of width RW at intermediate point  359  to the magnitude of width VW at extension end  353 , where width VW may have any suitable magnitude, such as in a range between 7.20 millimeters and 7.40 millimeters or may be about 7.30 millimeters. Such a valley may enable at least some of the material (e.g., any material used to form component  330  and/or component  360 ) that may travel along ramp portion  358  of gripping component  350  (e.g., in the −X-direction) to eventually reside within valley portion  358   v  between base body  352  and ramp portion  358 . Valley portion  358   v  may have any suitable depth VH, which may have any suitable magnitude, such as in a range between 0.40 millimeters and 0.80 millimeters or may be about 0.60 millimeters. Valley portion  358   v  may have any suitable length VL, which may have any suitable magnitude, such as in a range between 0.45 millimeters and 0.85 millimeters or may be about 0.65 millimeters. Gripping component  350  may have any suitable length GL, which may have any suitable magnitude, such as in a range between 3.70 millimeters and 4.10 millimeters or may be about 3.90 millimeters. 
     In some embodiments, gripping component  350  may be positioned about cable subassembly  200  (e.g., at position P 5 ) prior to providing (e.g., molding) body component  330 , such that gripping component  350  may be operative to prevent any material used to form body component  330  and/or any material used to form outer component  360  from seeping beyond gripping component  350  (e.g., in the −X-direction) to a position P 6  along cable subassembly  200  (e.g., by seeping between gripping component  350  and cable subassembly  200  and/or by flowing up and over base body  352  (e.g., in the +Y-direction or the −Y-direction)), where outer component  360  may or may not be thereafter provided or where components  330  and  360  may instead be a single component formed in a single provisioning step. In other embodiments,  FIG. 10  may show outer component  360  as may be formed over body component  330  but body component  330  may not be shown in  FIG. 10  for sake of clarity. In some such embodiments, some material used to form body component  360  may finally reside (e.g., solidify) in the valley defined by ramp portion  358 , valley portion  358   v , and base body  352  (e.g., as shown in  FIG. 10 ), but with a thickness PT to spare before threat of such material passing over base body  352 , where thickness PT may be any suitable magnitude such as in a range between 1.14 millimeters and 1.54 millimeters or may be about 1.34 millimeters. Outer body  360  may have a thickness OBFT along a front face of any suitable magnitude, such as in a range between 1.4 millimeters and 1.6 millimeters or may be about 1.5 millimeters. However, in other embodiments, gripping component  350  may be positioned about cable subassembly  200  (e.g., at position P 5 ) prior to or after providing (e.g., molding) body component  330 , where little to no material of body component  330  may interact with gripping component  350  (see, e.g.,  FIG. 7 ), but prior to providing (e.g., molding) outer component  360 , such that gripping component  350  may be operative to prevent any material used to form outer component  360  from seeping beyond gripping component  350  (e.g., in the −X-direction) to a position P 6  along cable subassembly  200  (e.g., by seeping between gripping component  350  and cable subassembly  200  and/or by flowing up and over base body  352  (e.g., in the +Y-direction or the −Y-direction). In some such embodiments, some material used to form outer component  360  may finally reside (e.g., solidify) in the valley defined by ramp portion  358 , valley portion  358   v , and base body  352  (e.g., as shown in  FIG. 8 ). Gripping component  350  of cable connector subassembly  300  may be formed using any suitable material(s) using any suitable techniques. For example, gripping component  350  may be molded (e.g., injection molded) using any suitable material (e.g., a polycarbonate resin (e.g., Emerge™ PC 8600-10)). 
     Therefore, cable connector subassembly  300  may provide a cleanly defined subassembly for electrically coupling contacts  310  and  320  to respective conductor groups  210  and  220  while preventing any portion of subassembly  300  from extending beyond a certain point along cable subassembly  200  (e.g., beyond position P 6 ). 
     As shown in  FIGS. 12-25 , second cable connector subassembly  400  may include at least two device contacts, such as device contact  410  and device contact  420 , and at least two conductor contacts, such as conductor contact  430  and conductor contact  440 . Device contact  410  may be electrically coupled to first conductor group  210  (e.g., to one, some, or each conductor  212  of first conductor group  210  at or adjacent first conductor group second end  214  at second cable end  204 ) via conductor contact  430  and may be operative to be electrically coupled to a remote subsystem (e.g., subsystem  600 ), while contact  420  may be electrically coupled to second conductor group  220  (e.g., to one, some, or each conductor  222  of second conductor group  220  at or adjacent second conductor group second end  224  at second cable end  204 ) via conductor contact  440  and may be operative to be electrically coupled to the remote subsystem (e.g., subsystem  600 ). In other embodiments, it is to be understood that second cable connector subassembly  400  may include at least three contacts, each of which may be electrically coupled to a respective one of conductor groups  210 ′,  220 ′, and  280 ′ of subassembly  200 ′. Device contact  410  may include a female receptacle portion  413  (e.g., a device coupling portion) and a device contact extension portion  414 , while conductor contact  430  may include a receiving portion  434  and a conductor contact extension portion  433 . Receiving portion  434  of conductor contact  430  may be operative to receive and be electrically coupled to at least a portion of first conductor group  210  (e.g., through crimping), as shown by  FIGS. 16 and 17 , while conductor contact extension portion  433  of conductor contact  430  may be operative to extend (e.g., to a free end) from receiving portion  434  and to be electrically coupled to device contact  410  (e.g., to device contact extension portion  414  (e.g., via laser welding)), as shown by  FIG. 19 , while female receptacle portion  413  of device contact  410  may be operative to interact with a remote subsystem (e.g., female receptacle portion  413  may be operative to receive and at least partially hold a respective male-type contact  610  of second device subsystem  600 ) for electrically coupling female receptacle portion  413  with remote subsystem  600  and, thus, for electrically coupling remote subsystem  600  with first conductor group  210  via device contact  410  and conductor contact  430 . Similarly, device contact  420  may include a female receptacle portion  423  (e.g., a device coupling portion) and a device contact extension portion  424 , while conductor contact  440  may include a receiving portion  444  and a conductor contact extension portion  443 . Receiving portion  444  of conductor contact  440  may be operative to receive and be electrically coupled to at least a portion of second conductor group  220  (e.g., through crimping), as shown by  FIGS. 16 and 17 , while conductor contact extension portion  443  of conductor contact  440  may be operative to extend (e.g., to a free end) from receiving portion  444  and to be electrically coupled to device contact  420  (e.g., to device contact extension portion  424  (e.g., via laser welding)), as shown by  FIG. 19 , while female receptacle portion  423  of device contact  420  may be operative to interact with a remote subsystem (e.g., female receptacle portion  423  may be operative to receive and at least partially hold a respective male-type contact  620  of second device subsystem  600 ) for electrically coupling female receptacle portion  423  with remote subsystem  600  and, thus, for electrically coupling remote subsystem  600  with second conductor group  220  via device contact  420  and conductor contact  440 . Each one of device contacts  410  and  420  may be made of any suitable conductive material or combination of conductive materials (e.g., phosphor bronze (e.g., C5191-H) with or without nickel plating) for enabling communication of electrical signals between device subsystem  600  and cable connector subassembly  400 . Similarly, each one of conductor contacts  430  and  440  may be made of any suitable conductive material or combination of conductive materials (e.g., phosphor bronze (e.g., C5191-H) with or without nickel plating) for enabling communication of electrical signals between at least one conductor of cable subassembly  200  and a respective device contact. As shown, the geometry and size of conductor contact  430  may be the same or substantially the same as conductor contact  440 , which may enable contacts  430  and  440  to be used interchangeably during assembly for ease of manufacture. Moreover, as shown, the geometry and size of device contact  410  may be the same or substantially the same as device contact  420 , which may enable contacts  410  and  420  to be used interchangeably during assembly for ease of manufacture. It is to be understood that while device coupling portion  413  of device contact  410  and device coupling portion  423  of device contact  420  may be shown as female-type receptacles (e.g., for receiving and/or at least partially holding a respective male-type contact of second device subsystem  600 ), at least one of device coupling portion  413  of device contact  410  and device coupling portion  423  of device contact  420  may be a male-type contact (e.g., for being received by and/or at least partially held by a respective female-type contact of second device subsystem  600 ). As shown, device contact  410  and device contact  420  may be identical (e.g., geometrically and/or physically and/or otherwise) such that only a single type of component may be required in order to provide each device contact of subassembly  400 . Additionally or alternatively, as shown, conductor contact  430  and conductor contact  440  may be identical (e.g., geometrically and/or physically and/or otherwise) such that only a single type of component may be required in order to provide each conductor contact of subassembly  400 . 
     As shown, second cable connector subassembly  400  may also include a cable support component  450  that may be operative to be secured to cable subassembly  200  about a particular portion of cable subassembly  200  for providing a rigid surface against which a portion of a collet may exert any suitable force for retaining second cable connector subassembly  400  in a particular position with respect to remote subsystem  600  (e.g., retention mechanism  660  of  FIGS. 26-30 ). For example, as shown in  FIGS. 14-17 , at any suitable moment during the formation of connector subassembly  400  (e.g., before or after or during the coupling of one or both of conductor contacts  430  and  440  to one or both of respective conductor groups  210  and  220 , yet before a body component  460  may be provided as a portion of connector subassembly  400 ), cable support component  450  may be positioned about a particular portion of cable subassembly  200  along its length, such as at a position P 7  along cable subassembly  200  about an outer surface of cable subassembly  200  (e.g., cover  270  or jacket  260  if no cover  270  is provided). As shown in  FIGS. 15 and 21 , for example, position P 7  may be spaced a distance ES from an end of cover  270  at cable end  204  (e.g., distance ES may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 0.30 millimeters and 1.30 millimeters or may be about 0.80 millimeters), and cable support component  450  may include a base body  452 , which may be any suitable shape (e.g., disk shaped) with any suitable maximum cross-sectional outer width SW and any suitable length SL and any suitable thickness ST, and which may define a main opening  451  having any suitable maximum cross-sectional width SO that may be operative to surround and contact an outer surface of cable subassembly  200  (e.g., cover  270 ). For example, cross-sectional width SO may have a magnitude in a range between 6.35 millimeters and 6.75 millimeters or may be about 6.55 millimeters, such that it may just fit about width CW of jacket  260 , which may be in a range between 6.3 millimeters and 6.7 millimeters, or about 6.5 millimeters. Outer width SW may have any suitable magnitude, such as in a range between 10.22 millimeters and 10.38 millimeters or may be about 10.30 millimeters. Length SL may have any suitable magnitude, such as in a range between 0.28 millimeters and 0.32 millimeters or may be about 0.30 millimeters. Thickness ST may have any suitable magnitude, such as in a range between 2.92 millimeters and 3.38 millimeters or may be about 3.20 millimeters. A base body surface  452   s  of base body  452  about main opening  451  facing away from cable end  204  (e.g., facing the +X-direction and/or lying in an X-Y plane) may be operative to provide a rigid surface against which a portion of a collet may exert any suitable force for retaining second cable connector subassembly  400  in a particular position with respect to remote subsystem  600  (e.g., retention mechanism  660  of  FIGS. 26-30 ). Base body surface  452   s  may be electrically isolated or insulated from each conductor group of cable subassembly  200  by insulation subassembly  250  and/or jacket  260  and/or cover  270  and/or body component  460 . 
     As also shown in  FIGS. 15 and 21 , for example, cable support component  450  may also include an extension body  454  that may be coupled to base body  452  at one extension end  453  and that may extend away from base body  452  to another extension end  455  (e.g., generally in the +X-direction away from cable end  204  when component  450  is positioned about cable subassembly  200 ). Extension body  454  may be any suitable shape and may extend any suitable length XL away from base body  452  about cable subassembly  200  (e.g., length XL may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 5.40 millimeters and 6.00 millimeters or may be about 5.60 millimeters), and extension body  454  may also define a portion of main opening  451  having maximum cross-sectional width SO similar to that of base body  452 . However, as also shown (e.g., by the differences between  FIGS. 14 and 15 ), at least a portion of extension body  454  may be mechanically deformed and/or compressed or crimped about cable subassembly  200  for fixing extension body  454  and, thus, base body  452  about cable subassembly  200  at a particular position (e.g., with respect to position P 7 ), where such crimping of extension body  454  may be operative to prevent cable support component  450  from sliding along the length of cable subassembly  200  (e.g., along the X-axis) and/or from rotating about cable subassembly  200  (e.g., about axis A or the X-axis) during future use of cable subassembly  200  and connector subassembly  400  (e.g., during retention of connector subassembly  400  in a particular position with respect to remote subsystem  600 ). Moreover, as shown in  FIG. 21 , for example, insulation  230  and insulation  240  may extend a distance UD away from base body  452  (e.g., distance UD may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 3.30 millimeters and 4.30 millimeters or may be about 3.80 millimeters), and first conductor group second end  214  and second conductor group second end  224  may extend a distance ND away from base body  452  (e.g., distance ND may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 8.60 millimeters and 9.60 millimeters or may be about 9.10 millimeters). Cable support component  450  may be made of any suitable material or combination of materials (e.g., stainless steel (e.g., SUS304 ½H)) that may provide suitable rigidity (e.g., at base body surface  452   s ) against which a portion of a collet may exert any suitable force for retaining second cable connector subassembly  400  in a particular position with respect to remote subsystem  600 . 
     Once cable support component  450  has been fixed (e.g., crimped) to cable subassembly  200  and once conductor contact  430  has been electrically coupled (e.g., crimped) to first conductor group  210  and once conductor contact  440  has been electrically coupled (e.g., crimped) to second conductor group  220  (e.g., as may be shown by  FIGS. 13-17 ), a body component  460  of second cable connector subassembly  400  may be provided for additional structure. For example, as shown in  FIG. 18 , body component  460  may be provided to encompass a portion of conductor contact  430  (e.g., receiving portion  434 ), a portion of conductor contact  440  (e.g., receiving portion  444 ), and a portion of cable subassembly  200  (e.g., any portion of first conductor group  210  and/or second conductor group  220  and/or insulation subassembly  250  that may not be surrounded by jacket  260  and/or cover  270  at second cable end  204 ). Such provisioning of body component  460  may be operative to protect and/or reinforce the electrical and mechanical coupling of conductor contact  430  and first conductor group  210  (e.g., at receiving portion  434 ) and to protect and/or reinforce the electrical and mechanical coupling of conductor contact  440  and second conductor group  220  (e.g., at receiving portion  444 ), while still enabling at least a portion of conductor contact extension portion  433  of conductor contact  430  to be exposed for electrical coupling with device contact extension portion  414 , and while still enabling at least a portion of conductor contact extension portion  443  of conductor contact  440  to be exposed for electrical coupling with device contact extension portion  424 . For example, as shown in  FIG. 18 , a portion of conductor contact extension portion  433  may extend out from body component  460  (e.g., in the +Y-direction) by a distance XD above a top shelf  461  of body component  460 , where distance XD may be any suitable magnitude (e.g., in a range between 2.00 millimeters and 2.20 millimeters or about 2.00 millimeters), and a portion of conductor contact extension portion  443  may extend out from body component  460  (e.g., in the −Y-direction) by a distance that may be similar to distance XD below a bottom shelf  463  of body component  460  (e.g., an opposite surface than that of top shelf  461  of body component  460  (e.g., top shelf  461  and bottom shelf  463  face away from each other in opposite directions)). As shown in  FIG. 22 , for example, a maximum width WCC of conductor contact  430  (e.g., after crimping) may be any suitable magnitude, such as in a range between 1.49 millimeters and 2.09 millimeters or may be about 1.79 millimeters. Additionally or alternatively, as shown in  FIG. 22 , for example, a distance DCC between a first plane that may be defined by an interior surface  433   i  of conductor contact extension portion  433  (e.g., a first X-Y plane) and a second plane that may be defined by an interior surface  443   i  of conductor contact extension portion  443  (e.g., a second X-Y plane) may be any suitable magnitude, such as in a range between 3.75 millimeters and 3.85 millimeters or may be about 3.80 millimeters. Additionally or alternatively, as shown in  FIG. 22 , for example, a minimum distance CDC between conductor contact  430  and conductor contact  440  (e.g., between an outer surface of receiving portion  434  and an outer surface of receiving portion  444  (e.g., after crimping to respective conductor groups  210  and  220 )) may be any suitable magnitude (e.g., in a range between 0.35 millimeters and 0.45 millimeters or may be about 0.40 millimeters). 
     Moreover, as shown in  FIGS. 18, 23, and 24 , for example, a portion of body component  460  may be operative to cover a portion of cable support component  450  about cable subassembly  200  (e.g., the entirety of extension body  454  and the majority of base body  452  except for at least a portion of base body surface  452   s , which may be directly contacted by a collet for retaining a particular position of second cable connector subassembly  400  with respect to remote subsystem  600  (e.g., retention mechanism  660  of  FIGS. 26-30 )), as well as any other suitable portion of cable subassembly  200  that may not be engaged by cable support component  450  (e.g., a portion of cable subassembly  200  in the +X direction beyond another extension end  455  of extension body  454  of cable support component  450 ). Such provisioning of body component  460  about one or more portions of cable subassembly  200  (e.g., an end portion of first conductor group  210  and/or of second conductor group  220  and/or of insulation subassembly  250  and/or of cover  270  and/or of jacket  260  at second cable end  204 ) may be operative to protect and/or further insulate conductors  212  and  222  of cable subassembly  200 . 
     Additional insulation of cable subassembly  200  that may be provided by body component  460  may enable one or more portions of cable subassembly  200  to have a different geometry at its portion protected by body component  460  than at another portion that is not protected by body component  460 . For example, while each one of first conductor group  210  and second conductor group  220  may be configured to have a D-shaped cross-section along a portion or even a majority of the length of cable subassembly  200  (e.g., as shown in  FIGS. 2 and 3 ), the cross-sectional shape of first conductor group  210  and the cross-sectional shape of second conductor group  220  may transition from such a D-shape (e.g., as shown in  FIGS. 2 and 3 ) to a circular shape near second cable end  204  (e.g., as shown in  FIGS. 12-17 ) that may be covered by a portion of cable connector subassembly  400  (e.g., by body component  460 ). This transition in geometry of each conductor group to a circular cross-sectional shape may be enabled while maintaining a substantially constant outer width CW and/or constant outer width JW of cable subassembly  200  by varying (e.g., reducing) the thickness of insulation subassembly  250  about the conductor groups (e.g., reducing at least a portion of the cross-sectional thickness of thickness IT 1  and/or thickness IT 2 , with or without reducing thickness IT 3 ), where any loss of outer insulation provided by such variation in insulation subassembly  250  may be made up for by insulation that may be provided by cable connector subassembly  400  (e.g., by body component  460 ). Such a circular cross-sectional shape of first conductor group  210  and/or of second conductor group  220  at second cable end  204  may be operative to enable a more robust and/or easier coupling with a receiving portion  434 / 444  of a respective conductor contact  430 / 440 . Alternatively, the cross-sectional shape of first conductor group  210  and/or the cross-sectional shape of second conductor group  220  may be the same at second cable end  204  as it is at another portion of cable subassembly  200  (e.g., D-shaped, as shown in  FIGS. 2 and 3  (e.g., a cross-sectional shape of receiving portion  434  and/or of receiving portion  444  may also be at least partially D-shaped or a shape substantially similar to a respective conductor group at end  204  for facilitating a robust coupling) and/or as shown in  FIGS. 33-35  (e.g., prior to manipulation for defining a flat conductor coupling portion for use with another second cable connector subassembly  400 ′ of  FIGS. 32-43 )). The geometry of receiving portion  434  of conductor contact  430  may be configured to be similar to the geometry of first conductor group  210  at first conductor group second end  214  (e.g., the shared circular cross-sectional shape of  FIGS. 12-17 and 22 , or a D-shaped cross-section may be shared by both receiving portion  434  and conductor group second end  214  (not shown)) and the geometry of receiving portion  444  of conductor contact  440  may be configured to be similar to the geometry of second conductor group  220  at second conductor group second end  224  (e.g., the shared circular cross-sectional shape of  FIGS. 12-17 and 22 , or a D-shaped cross-section may be shared by both receiving portion  444  and conductor group second end  224  (not shown)). 
     In some embodiments, as shown in  FIGS. 19 and 23 , once body component  460  has been provided, a portion of conductor contact extension portion  433  of conductor contact  430  that may be extending out from body component  460  may be electrically coupled to device contact  410  (e.g., to device contact extension portion  414  (e.g., via laser welding)) and a portion of conductor contact extension portion  443  of conductor contact  440  that may be extending out from body component  460  may be electrically coupled to device contact  420  (e.g., to device contact extension portion  424  (e.g., via laser welding)). Device contact  410  may include device contact extension portion  414  of any suitable geometry, such as a regular cuboid with an outer surface  414   o  and an opposite inner surface  414   i  that may interface with and be electrically coupled to an outer surface  433   o  of conductor contact extension portion  433 . Alternatively, although not shown, outer surface  414   o  of extension portion  414  may interface with and be electrically coupled to inner surface  433   i  of conductor contact extension portion  433 . Device contact  410  may also include female receptacle portion  413  of any suitable geometry, such as a U-shaped component with a base contact portion  413   b , an upper contact portion  413   u  extending from base contact portion  413   b  to a free upper end, and a lower contact portion  413   l  extending from base contact portion  413   b  to a free lower end, where a female receptacle space  413   s  may be defined by surfaces of contact portions  413   b ,  413   u , and  413   l  (e.g., for receiving and/or holding contact  620  of subsystem  600 ). Moreover, device contact  410  may also include a curved or angled or bent arm  414   a  that may extend from a first arm end at extension portion  414  to a second arm end at base contact portion  413   b  (e.g., a portion of the first arm end of arm  414   a  may be in an X-Y plane of inner surface  414   i  while a portion of the second arm end of arm  414   a  may be in a Y-Z plane of base contact portion  413   b ). Device contact  420  may be the same or substantially the same as device contact  410 , which may enable contacts  410  and  420  to be used interchangeably during assembly for ease of manufacture. For example, as shown, device contact  420  may include device contact extension portion  424  of any suitable geometry, such as a regular cuboid with an outer surface  424   o  and an opposite inner surface  424   i  that may interface with and be electrically coupled to an outer surface  443   o  of conductor contact extension portion  443 . Alternatively, although not shown, outer surface  424   o  of extension portion  414  may interface with and be electrically coupled to inner surface  443   i  of conductor contact extension portion  443 . Device contact  420  may also include female receptacle portion  423  of any suitable geometry, such as a U-shaped component with a base contact portion  423   b , an upper contact portion  423   u  extending from base contact portion  423   b  to a free upper end, and a lower contact portion  423   l  extending from base contact portion  423   b  to a free lower end, where a female receptacle space  423   s  may be defined by surfaces of contact portions  423   b ,  423   u , and  423   l  (e.g., for receiving and/or holding contact  620  of subsystem  600 ). Moreover, device contact  420  may also include a curved or angled or bent arm  424   a  that may extend from a first arm end at extension portion  424  to a second arm end at base contact portion  423   b  (e.g., a portion of the first arm end of arm  424   a  may be in an X-Y plane of inner surface  424   i  while a portion of the second arm end of arm  424   a  may be in a Y-Z plane of base contact portion  423   b ). 
     As shown in  FIG. 23 , for example, device contacts  410  and  420 , in conjunction with body component  460  and conductor contacts  430  and  440 , may provide a structure with geometry capable of communicating any suitable electrical signals according to various standards. Once body component  460  has been provided and device contact  410  has been electrically coupled to conductor contact  430  (e.g., via one or more laser weld instances  439  between conductor contact extension portion  433  and extension portion  414 ), a spacing QS may be maintained between extension portion  414  and body component  460  (e.g., between a bottom of extension portion  414  and top shelf  461  of body component  460 ), where spacing QS may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 0.24 millimeters and 0.34 millimeters or may be about 0.29 millimeters. A spacing LS may be maintained between female receptacle portion  413  and body component  460  (e.g., between lower contact portion  413   l  and top shelf  461  of body component  460 ), where spacing LS may be any suitable magnitude (e.g., about 0.10 millimeters). A front surface  462  of body component  460  that may extend between top shelf  461  and bottom shelf  463  of body component  460  may have a width BCW, where width BCW may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 2.62 millimeters and 2.72 millimeters or may be about 2.67 millimeters. A minimum spacing CCS may be maintained between female receptacle portion  413  and female receptacle portion  423  (e.g., between lower contact portion  413   l  of female receptacle portion  413  and upper contact portion  423   u  of female receptacle portion  423 ), where spacing CCS may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 3.00 millimeters and 4.00 millimeters or may be about 3.64 millimeters. A spacing BCD between an end of female receptacle portion  423  and a plane of front surface  462  of body component  460  may be any suitable magnitude, such as in a range between 0.30 millimeters and 0.38 millimeters or may be about 0.34 millimeters. A lip portion  464  of body component  460  may be provided about base body  452  of cable support component  450  and may include a width BLW and a length BLL, where width BLW may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 10.40 millimeters and 10.60 millimeters or may be about 10.50 millimeters, and where length BLL may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 1.30 millimeters and 1.40 millimeters or may be about 1.35 millimeters. A transition portion  466  of body component  460  may be provided to extend away from lip portion  464  (e.g., in the −X-direction) and may include a length BTL, where length BTL may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 0.90 millimeters and 1.10 millimeters or may be about 1.00 millimeter. A front portion  468  of body component  460  may be provided to extend away from transition portion  466  (e.g., in the −X-direction) and may define front surface  462 , top shelf  461 , and bottom shelf  463 . A length CBL between the front of lip portion  464  and front surface  462  of front portion  468  may be any suitable magnitude, such as in a range between 8.79 millimeters and 8.95 millimeters or may be about 8.87 millimeters. A length CCL between the front of lip portion  464  and the front of contact extension portion  443  may be any suitable magnitude, such as in a range between 6.85 millimeters and 7.05 millimeters or may be about 6.95 millimeters. A rear portion  469  of body component  460  may be provided to extend away from lip portion  464  (e.g., in the +X-direction) and about extension body  454  of cable support component  450  and may include a width BRW, where width BRW may be any suitable magnitude less than that of width BLW of lip portion  464  such that surface  452   s  of a particular dimension may be provided (e.g., at least 0.35 millimeters or in a range between 0.30 millimeters and 0.50 millimeters or may be about 0.40 millimeters). A total length BTL of body component  460  (e.g., including portions  464 ,  466 ,  468 , and  469 ) may be any suitable magnitude, such as in a range between 17.78 millimeters and 17.98 millimeters or may be about 17.88 millimeters. 
     In some embodiments, as shown in  FIGS. 20 and 24 , once body component  460  has been provided and once conductor contacts  430  and  440  have been electrically coupled to respective device contacts  410  and  420 , an outer component  470  of second cable connector subassembly  400  may be provided for additional structure. For example, as shown, outer component  470  may be operative to surround a portion of body component  460  (e.g., transition portion  466  and front portion  468  of body component  460 ) and may be operative to abut the front of lip portion  464 . Additionally, as shown, outer component  470  may be operative to surround the entirety of device contacts  410  and  420  while still enabling device contacts  410  and  420  to be accessible for potential interaction with a remote subsystem. For example, outer component  470  may be provided to include one or more suitable passages, such as passages  471  and  472  provided through a front wall  476  of outer component  470 , for enabling female receptacle portions  413  and  414  to be accessible by remote subsystem  600  for potential interaction with respective contacts  610  and  620  (e.g., introduction of contact  610  into female receptacle space  413   s  via passage  471  for electrically coupling contact  610  and contact  410  and/or introduction of contact  620  into female receptacle space  423   s  via passage  472  for electrically coupling contact  620  and contact  420 ). For example, as shown in  FIG. 24 , outer component  470  may be provided to define a first space  473  in cooperation with body component  460  such that contact  410  may be able to appropriately interact with (e.g., be expanded by for retaining) contact  610  within first space  473  and/or to define a second space  474  in cooperation with body component  460  such that contact  420  may be able to appropriately interact with (e.g., be expanded by for retaining) contact  620  within space  474 . Passage  471  may be fluidly coupled with first space  473  and passage  472  may be fluidly coupled with second space  474 . Each one of passage  471  and  472  may have any suitable height PH and any suitable width PW at an outer surface  475  of front wall  476 . Height PH may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 1.20 millimeters and 1.40 millimeters or may be about 1.30 millimeters, while width PW may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 2.85 millimeters and 3.05 millimeters or may be about 2.95 millimeters. Each one of passage  471  and  472  may have any suitable height PH′ and any suitable width PW′ at an inner surface  477  of front wall  476 . Height PH′ may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 0.82 millimeters and 0.92 millimeters or may be about 0.87 millimeters, while width PW′ (not shown) may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 2.44 millimeters and 2.54 millimeters or may be about 2.49 millimeters. Front wall  476  may have any suitable thickness OBT between outer surface  475  and inner surface  477  (e.g., thickness OBT may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 0.7 millimeters and 0.9 millimeters or may be about 0.8 millimeters). Outer component  470  may have any suitable maximum width OBW, which may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 10.4 millimeters and 10.6 millimeters or may be about 10.5 millimeters. Outer component  470  may have any suitable length OBL, which may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 9.62 millimeters and 9.72 millimeters or may be about 9.67 millimeters. Body component  460  and outer component  470  may together have any suitable total length MTL (e.g., a total length of cable connector subassembly  400 ), which may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 18.60 millimeters and 19.00 millimeters or may be about 18.80 millimeters. 
     In some embodiments, as shown in  FIGS. 12 and 24 , once body component  460  has been provided, a trim component  490  of cable connector subassembly  400  may be provided for additional structure. For example, as shown, trim component  490  may be operative to extend along and about a portion of cable subassembly  200  and/or along and about a portion of body component  460  (e.g., a mechanical feature  460   f  of body component  460  (e.g., a nub or groove) may interact with a mechanical feature  490   f  of trim component  490  (e.g., a groove or nub) for mechanically coupling trim component  490  to body component  460  about cable subassembly  200 ). For example, trim component  490  may be configured as a snap ring for engaging body component  460 . Trim component  490  may be configured to be removed from body component  460  by an end user or by a manufacturer for any suitable purpose (e.g., to enable easier removal of cable connector subassembly  400  from remote subsystem  600 ). Trim component  490  may be operative to act as a strain relief that may help cable subassembly  200  to have a gradual radius (e.g., trim component  490  may be able to help the transition of the cable to curve up or down or otherwise). 
     Body component  460  and/or outer component  470  of cable connector subassembly  400  may be formed using any suitable material(s) using any suitable techniques. For example, component  460  may be molded (e.g., injection molded) using any suitable material (e.g., a polycarbonate resin (e.g., Emerge™ PC 8600-10)), while component  470  may be molded (e.g., molded and then coupled (e.g., ultrasonically welded) to body component  460  or over molded onto body component  460 ) using any suitable material (e.g., a polycarbonate resin (e.g., Emerge™ PC 8600-10)). Component  460  may differ from component  470  with respect to any suitable characteristic, such as size, shape, color, flexibility, deformability, tactility, ability to repel certain fluids, and/or the like. Alternatively, component  460  and component  470  may be formed from the same material. Additionally or alternatively, the manner(s) in which component  460  may be formed may be the same as or different than the manner(s) in which component  470  may be formed. If body component  460  is formed using a molding process, that process may use any suitable technique(s) to ensure that surface  452   s  of base body  452  of cable support component  450  may remain uncovered by the material of body component  460  (e.g., an injection mold tool may be operative to shut off against surface  452   s ). Alternatively or additionally, a portion of a provided body component  460  may be removed after formation for exposing surface  452   s . If body component  460  is formed using a molding process, that process may use any suitable technique(s) to ensure that minimum distance CDC between conductor contact  430  and conductor contact  440  may be maintained (e.g., to ensure a suitable amount of insulation may be provided (e.g., by body component  460 ) between contacts  430  and  440  (e.g., for electrically isolating or insulating the electrical paths of conductor groups  210  and  220 )). For example, one side of an injection molding tool may be provided with a footprint geometry indicated by broken line  480  of  FIG. 22 , which may include a first surface  482  that may run along a portion of inner surface  433   i  of conductor contact extension portion  433 , a second surface  484  that may run along a portion of inner surface  443   i  of conductor contact extension portion  443 , and a third surface  483  that may extend between an end of first surface  482  and an end of second surface  484 , where surface  483  may run tangentially to an outer surface of receiving portion  434  and tangentially to an outer surface of receiving portion  444 , which may thereby prevent conductor contact  430  and conductor contact  440  from being moved closer than minimum distance CDC during the provisioning of body component  460  using such a tool (e.g., whereby conductor contact  430  and at least a crimped portion of first conductor group  210  may be inserted into that side of the mold associated with line  480 , and whereby another side of the mold may shut off on the conductor crimp). In some embodiments, as shown (see, e.g.,  FIG. 19 ), one or more holes  459  may be provided through base body  452  of cable support component  450  for enabling any material used to provide body component  460  (e.g., any injection mold material) to pass through hole(s)  459  such that the material may be provided on both sides of base body  452 . 
     Therefore, cable connector subassembly  400  may provide a cleanly defined subassembly for electrically coupling contacts  410  and  420  to respective conductor groups  210  and  220  while providing a reduced size connector for use with subsystem  600 . 
     In some embodiments, as shown in  FIGS. 26 and 27 , a receptacle  630  of device subsystem  600  may house at least a portion of contact  610  and at least a portion of contact  620  positioned within a receptacle space  630   s  defined by receptacle  630 , rather than contacts  610  and  620  extending outwardly away from any other structure of subsystem  600  (e.g., as shown in  FIG. 1 ). Therefore, in such embodiments, second cable connector subassembly  400  may be at least partially inserted into receptacle  630  (e.g., in the −X-direction from the position of  FIG. 26  through an opening of device subsystem  600  and into receptacle space  630   s  of receptacle  630  to the position of  FIG. 27 ), such that female receptacle space  413   s  may receive contact  610  for electrically coupling female receptacle portion  413  with contact  610  and such that female receptacle space  423   s  may receive contact  620  for electrically coupling female receptacle portion  423  with contact  620 . In order to retain cable assembly  100  in the position of  FIG. 27  (e.g., the position in which connector subassembly  400  may be electrically coupled to device subsystem  600  within receptacle space  630   s ), a retention mechanism  660  may be provided. 
     Retention mechanism  660  may be any suitable mechanism that may be operative to prevent connector subassembly  400  from being withdrawn from receptacle space  630   s  (e.g., in the +X-direction) despite forces of a certain magnitude attempting to pull connector subassembly  400  out from receptacle space  630   s  (e.g., retention mechanism  660  may be operative to withstand forces of 1075 Newton that may be applied to connector subassembly  400  in the +X-direction for retaining subassembly  400  within receptacle space  630   s ). Retention mechanism  660  may be physically distinct from and/or electrically insulated from each contact of device subsystem  600  (e.g., from each one of contacts  610  and  620 ). In some embodiments, as shown in  FIGS. 26-30 , for example, retention mechanism  660  may be provided as a collet or any other suitable device. Retention mechanism  660  may be described as an annular element (e.g., annular about an axis R (e.g., along an X-axis)) that may include any suitable number of annularly spaced tabs or fingers  662  that may connect adjacent ones of a number of annularly extending and spaced anchor segments  668 . In some embodiments, as shown, retention mechanism  660  may be a hollow structure that may be annularly continuous but annularly enlargeable about its axis R. Each finger  662  may include a lead segment  664 , a first leg segment  663 , and a second leg segment  665 , where first leg segment  663  of a particular finger  662  may extend between a first end of that finger&#39;s lead segment  664  and one end of a first anchor segment  668 , and where second leg segment  665  of that particular finger  662  may extend between a second end of that finger&#39;s lead segment  664  and one end of a second anchor segment  668  adjacent the first anchor segment  668 . Each first leg segment  663  and each second leg segment  665  may have any suitable height LSH, which may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 4.03 millimeters and 4.43 millimeters or may be about 4.23 millimeters. As shown, in some embodiments, retention mechanism  660  may include twelve (12) fingers  662  (i.e., fingers  662   a - 662   l ) and, thus, twelve (12) anchor segments  668 . However, in other embodiments, retention mechanism  660  may have more or fewer than twelve (12) fingers  662 . Alternatively, the structure of retention mechanism  660  may have different configurations of fingers and geometries altogether. Retention mechanism  660  may be made of any suitable material or combination of materials (e.g., stainless steel (e.g., SUS304 ½H)) that may provide suitable rigidity (e.g., against base body surface  452   s ) for exerting any suitable force for retaining second cable connector subassembly  400  in a particular position with respect to remote subsystem  600 . Retention mechanism  660  may be formed using any suitable techniques (e.g., machining, drilling, etching, etc.). Retention mechanism  660  may be configured to deform or deflect in various ways when various forces are applied thereto. However, in some embodiments, retention mechanism  660  may be configured to return to the configuration of  FIGS. 28-30  when no forces are applied thereto, and may resist certain forces with any suitable amount of resistance as may be determined based on various materials and/or geometries of mechanism  660 . 
     Some fingers  662  may include leg segments  663  and  665  that may extend perpendicularly up from their associated anchor segments  668 . For example, as shown, leg segments  663  and  665  of each one of fingers  662   a ,  662   d ,  662   g , and  662   j  may extend perpendicularly upwards (e.g., in the −X-direction) from a Y-Z plane PLN that may contain a portion of each anchor segment  668  of mechanism  660 , such that the distance between that plane and the lead segment  664  of each one of fingers  662   a ,  662   d ,  662   g , and  662   j  may be substantially the same as height LSH of each leg segment. Additionally, some fingers  662  may include leg segments  663  and  665  that may extend at an angle other than 90° up from their associated anchor segments  668 . For example, as shown, leg segments  663  and  665  of each one of fingers  662   b ,  662   c ,  662   e ,  662   f ,  662   h ,  662   i ,  662   k , and  662   l  may extend upwards at an angle θ other than 90° from plane PLN, such that the distance between that plane and the lead segment  664  of each one of fingers  662   b ,  662   c ,  662   e ,  662   f ,  662   h ,  662   i ,  662   k , and  662   l  may be any suitable distance LSD that may be shorter than height LSH of each leg segment (e.g., LSD may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 3.93 millimeters and 4.33 millimeters or may be about 4.13 millimeters). Therefore, some fingers  662  (e.g., eight (8) fingers  662   b ,  662   c ,  662   e ,  662   f ,  662   h ,  662   i ,  662   k , and  662   l ) may be angled or deflected or bent or otherwise configured to extend away from plane PLN differently than some other fingers  662  (e.g., four (4) fingers  662   a ,  662   d ,  662   g , and  662   j ). As shown, fingers  662  that may not be bent (e.g., four (4) fingers  662   a ,  662   d ,  662   g , and  662   j ) may be evenly dispersed amongst fingers  662  that may be bent (e.g., eight (8) fingers  662   b ,  662   c ,  662   e ,  662   f ,  662   h ,  662   i ,  662   k , and  662   l ), such as every third finger  662  about mechanism  660  may not be bent. As shown, an outer cross-sectional width ASW of retention mechanism  660  that may be defined by anchor segments  668  (e.g., within plane PLN) may be any suitable magnitude, such as in a range between 11.41 millimeters and 11.61 millimeters or may be about 11.51 millimeters. An inner cross-sectional width ISW of retention mechanism  660  that may be defined between opposite fingers  662  that may not be bent (e.g., between fingers  662   a  and  662   g ) may be any suitable magnitude, such as in a range between 10.56 millimeters and 10.96 millimeters or may be about 10.76 millimeters. An inner cross-sectional width IBW of retention mechanism  660  that may be defined between opposite fingers  662  that may be bent (e.g., between fingers  662   b  and  662   h ) may be any suitable magnitude, such as in a range between 9.57 millimeters and 9.97 millimeters or may be about 9.77 millimeters. A thickness RMT of retention mechanism  660  may be substantially consistent throughout and may be any suitable magnitude, such as in a range between 0.20 millimeters and 0.40 millimeters or may be about 0.30 millimeters. 
     Retention mechanism  660  may be positioned at any suitable position with respect to receptacle space  630   s  that may enable mechanism  660  to retain cable connector subassembly  400  in a particular position with respect to receptacle space  630   s . For example, as shown, retention mechanism  660  may be positioned within a pocket  650  that may be defined by any suitable portion of receptacle  630  (e.g., as a portion of receptacle space  630   s ) or by any other portion of device subsystem  600 . Pocket  650  may be adjacent a back wall  632  of receptacle  630  that may have a receptacle opening  630   o  provided therethrough (e.g., for exposing receptacle space  630   s  to cable connector subassembly  400 ). As shown, pocket  650  may be positioned in the +X-direction from contacts  610  and  620  such that front wall  476  of cable connector subassembly  400  may pass through pocket  650  after passing through receptacle opening  630   o , but potentially before contacts  610  and  620  may pass through front wall  476 . Pocket  650  may be at least partially defined by a side wall  654  extending between a back wall  652  and a front wall  658 , where back wall  652  may extend at least partially about receptacle opening  660   o  (e.g., about an X-axis) and may face towards (e.g., in the −X-direction) front wall  658  of pocket  650 , where front wall  658  may similarly extend at least partially about receptacle opening  660   o  (e.g., about an X-axis) and may face towards (e.g., in the +X-direction) back wall  652 , and where side wall  654  may similarly extend at least partially about receptacle opening  660   o  (e.g., about an X-axis) and face inwardly towards that X-axis. Retention mechanism  660  may be positioned within pocket  650  such that anchor segments  668  and at least certain lead segments  664  may be operative to interact with (e.g., to contact or to be close to contacting) opposite portions of pocket  650 . For example, as shown, each anchor segment  668  (e.g., plane PLN) of retention mechanism  660  may be positioned adjacent or contacting back wall  652  of pocket  650 , while at least certain lead segments  664  (e.g., the lead segment  664  of each non-bent finger  662  (e.g., lead segments  664  of four (4) fingers  662   a ,  662   d ,  662   g , and  662   j )) may be positioned adjacent or contacting front wall  658  of pocket  650 , such that at least non-bent fingers  662   a ,  662   d ,  662   g , and  662   j  may be operative to prevent significant movement of retention mechanism along an X-axis due to the constraints of pocket  650 . Moreover, as shown, certain other lead segments  664  may be operative to interact with cable connector subassembly  400  for preventing at least certain movement of cable connector subassembly  400  along the X-axis. For example, the lead segment  664  of each one of bent fingers  662   b ,  662   c ,  662   e ,  662   f ,  662   h ,  662   i ,  662   k , and  662   l  may be operative to press against an exterior surface of cable connector subassembly  400  as it may be inserted into receptacle space  630   s  via receptacle opening  630   o  and through the hollow of the annulus of retention mechanism  660  (e.g., in the −X-direction, which may be along axis R of retention mechanism  660 ). For example, during such insertion, the lead segment  664  of each one of bent fingers  662   b ,  662   c ,  662   e ,  662   f ,  662   h ,  662   i ,  662   k , and  662   l  may be operative to press initially against an exterior surface of outer body  470  (e.g., a curved lead contact surface  479  of outer body  470  may facilitate easy and smooth initial introduction of interface between cable connector subassembly  400  and retention mechanism  660 ) and then later against an exterior surface of lip portion  464  of body component  460  and then eventually against an exterior surface of rear portion  469  of body component  460  (e.g., as shown in  FIG. 27 ). 
     However, due to the geometry of cable connector subassembly  400  and retention mechanism  660  (e.g., due to a bias of such bent fingers  662  and due to width BRW of rear portion  469  being less than width BLW of lip portion  464 ), once such lead segments  664  press against an exterior surface of rear portion  469  of body component  460 , surface  452   s  may be operative to interact with such lead segments for preventing removal of cable connector subassembly  400  from receptacle space  630   s  (e.g., when a user pulls on cable connector subassembly  400  in the +X-direction). Bent fingers  662   b ,  662   c ,  662   e ,  662   f ,  662   h ,  662   i ,  662   k , and  662   l  may be operative to exert any suitable force on the exterior surface of cable connector subassembly  400  as it passes through the hollow of retention mechanism  660  (e.g., along axis R) and may snap against the exterior surface of rear portion  469  after being enabled to deflect inwards (e.g., towards axis R) once the larger cross-sectioned lip portion  464  has passed fully beyond retention mechanism  660 . Attempts to even partially remove cable connector subassembly  400  from receptacle space  630   s  in the +X-direction once cable connector subassembly  400  has been inserted into the position of  FIG. 27  may result in base body surface  452   s  pressing against lead segments  664  of bent fingers  662   b ,  662   c ,  662   e ,  662   f ,  662   h ,  662   i ,  662   k , and  662   l , whereby such pressing force may be distributed along legs  663  and  665  of those bent fingers  662  to their associated anchor segments  668  that may distribute such force against back wall  652  of pocket  650 . In some embodiments, such interaction between cable connector subassembly  400 , retention mechanism  660 , and pocket  650  may be configured to occur amongst all metal components. For example, as mentioned, base body surface  452   s  may be provided by an exposed portion of base body  452 , which may be any suitable rigid material (e.g., stainless steel (e.g., SUS304 ½H)), while retention mechanism  660  may also be any suitable rigid material (e.g., stainless steel (e.g., SUS304 ½H)). Similarly, at least a portion of pocket  650  (e.g., back wall  652  and/or front wall  658  and/or side wall  654 ) may be provided by any suitable rigid material (e.g., stainless steel (e.g., SUS304 ½H)). For example, while receptacle  660  may be made of any suitable material, such as plastic, rubber, or the like, a rigid (e.g., metal) C-channel component  640  may be provided within pocket  650  for providing rigidity to its walls for interaction with retention mechanism  660 . It is to be understood that while contacts  410  and  420  of connector subassembly  400  may be shown as female-type contacts and contacts  610  and  620  of device subsystem  600  may be shown as male-type contacts, retention mechanism  660  may similarly work to retain connector subassembly  400  with male contacts for interacting with female contacts within receptacle  630 . 
     While retention mechanism  660  and pocket  650  and/or component  640  may be operative to interact with cable connector subassembly  400  (e.g., with base body surface  452   s ) for locking cable connector subassembly  400  with respect to receptacle  660  once cable connector subassembly  400  is initially inserted into receptacle space  660   s , a special tool  690  may be provided for enabling removal of cable connector subassembly  400  from receptacle space  660   s  if need be. For example, tool  690  may be configured to include a leading member  692  that may be operative to be inserted (e.g., in the −X-direction) into a space between the exterior surface of rear portion  469  of body component  460  and one, some, or each segment  663 ,  665 , and/or  664  of retention mechanism  660  to push those segments away from the exterior surface of rear portion  469  of body component  460  and towards side wall  654  (e.g., into pocket  650 ), such that cable connector subassembly  400  may be removed from receptacle space  630   s  through tool  690  and mechanism  660  (e.g., in the +X-direction). Therefore, retention mechanism  660  may enable at least a semi-permanent connection between cable connector subassembly  400  and device subsystem  600 , which may be configured so as not to be broken by an end user of system  1  (e.g., tool  690  may not be provided to an end user and may only be used in a factory or the like for easier serviceability or manufacture of system  1 ). In some embodiments, trim component  490  (e.g., a front exterior surface  498 ) may be operative to interface with (e.g., snap into or be glued to or be press-fitted against) an exterior surface  632  of receptacle  630  or of any external portion of device subsystem  600  (e.g., a cut out portion  633 ). Such an interface between trim component  490  and exterior surface  632  may be operative to block or otherwise make inaccessible (e.g., by an end user) the opening used to introduce tool  690  between the exterior surface of cable connector subassembly  400  and retention mechanism  660 . That exterior surface  632  may be shown in  FIG. 26  but not in  FIG. 27  (e.g., for clarity of use of tool  690 ). 
     As another example, when at least one or more of first cable connector subassembly  300 , second cable connector subassembly  400 , first device subsystem  500 , and second device subsystem  600  may include at least three contacts (not shown), a cable subassembly may include at least three electrically isolated or insulated conductors or at least three electrically isolated or insulated groups of conductors, each of which may be operative to conduct any suitable data signals and/or any suitable power signals between a contact of first cable connector subassembly  300  and a respective contact of second cable connector subassembly  400 . For example, as shown in  FIGS. 31 and 31A , a cable subassembly  200 ′ may be provided that may be similar to cable subassembly  200  but that may include not only a first group of conductors  210 ′ (e.g., a first conductor subassembly or first conductor group) and a second group of conductors  220 ′ (e.g., a second conductor subassembly or second conductor group), but also a third group of conductors  280 ′ (e.g., a third conductor subassembly or third conductor group). Cable subassembly  200 ′ may also include an insulation subassembly  250 ′ that may be operative to electrically isolate or insulate each one of first conductor group  210 ′, second conductor group  220 ′, and third conductor group  280 ′ from one another along at least a portion of the length of cable subassembly  200 ′, a jacket  260 ′, and/or a cover  270 ′. Insulation subassembly  250 ′ may include a first insulation  230 ′ that may be disposed about and along at least a portion of first conductor group  210 ′ and/or a second insulation  240 ′ that may be disposed about and along at least a portion of second conductor group  220 ′ and/or a third insulation  290 ′ that may be disposed about and along at least a portion of second conductor group  280 ′. Jacket  260 ′ may be disposed about and along at least a portion of insulation subassembly  250 ′, while cover  270 ′ may be disposed about and along at least a portion of jacket  260 ′. 
     First conductor group  210 ′ may extend along a length of cable subassembly  200 ′ (e.g., along a first conductor group central axis A 1 ′ that may be adjacent to central longitudinal axis A′ of cable subassembly  200 ′) from a first end proximate a first cable end to an opposite second end proximate a second cable end. At a cross-section of cable subassembly  200 ′ taken perpendicularly to axis A′ (e.g., the cross-section of  FIG. 31 ), central axis A 1 ′ of first conductor group  210 ′ may be distanced from central longitudinal axis A′ by a distance (e.g., similar to distance A 1 D of subassembly  200 ), which may be about 1.1 millimeters or may be in any suitable range, such as between about 0.9 millimeters and 1.5 millimeters. First conductor group  210 ′ may include one or more conductors  212 ′ that may be configured to electrically transmit signals between the ends of first conductor group  210 ′. Each conductor  212 ′ may be any suitable electrically conductive conductor that may be composed of any suitable material including, but not limited to, copper (e.g., a soft copper (e.g., annealed soft bare copper wire), a tin-plated soft copper, a silver-plated copper alloy, etc.), aluminum, steel, and any combination thereof. Although  FIG. 31  may only show forty-one (41) conductors  212 ′ in first conductor group  210 ′, it is to be understood that first conductor group  210 ′ may include any suitable number of conductors  212 ′, such as thirty-five (35) to forty-nine (49) conductors, or even just one (1) conductor, in some embodiments. Each conductor  212 ′ may be of any suitable geometry and may have any suitable diameter (e.g., similar to diameter d 1  of subassembly  200 ) or any other suitable cross-sectional width, which may be about 0.16 millimeters. Each conductor  212 ′ may be any suitable American Wire Gauge (AWG), such as number 34 AWG, while first conductor group  210 ′ may have an effective size with any suitable AWG, such as number 18 AWG, and while second conductor group  220 ′ may have an effective size with any suitable AWG, such as number 18 AWG, and/or while third conductor group  280 ′ may have an effective size with any suitable AWG, such as number 18 AWG. 
     First conductor group  210 ′ (e.g., the collection of conductors  212 ′) may be of any suitable shape (e.g., as may be defined by the geometry of a first interior region  211 ′ within an interior surface of first insulation  230 ′), such as “pie-shaped” or a sector (e.g., circular sector) or a portion of a sector (e.g., a portion of a circular sector (e.g., a shape that may be defined by an arc of a disk and by two line segments or other suitably shaped arc joining segments that may be coupled together at respective first segment ends and that may each be coupled to a respective end of the arc at a respective second segment end, where the arc may be less than or greater than the circumference of the disk (e.g., the arc may be about 2/9 th &#39;s of the circumference of the disk (e.g., the central angle of the sector may be 80°)))) or the like in cross-section and, as shown in  FIG. 31 , may include an arc extending between points P 1 ′ and P 2 ′ along the circumference of a disk or circle CR′. Moreover, in some embodiments, as shown in  FIG. 31 , amidst the one or more conductors  212 ′ of first conductor group  210 ′ (e.g., within the space that may be defined by an interior surface of first insulation  230 ′), cable subassembly  200 ′ may include at least one first support member  212   s ′ (e.g., proximate central axis A 1 ′ of first conductor group  210 ′) that may be provided to extend along at least a portion of the length of cable subassembly  200 ′ for providing structural reinforcement or filler material, where each first support member may be composed of any suitable material, such as a para-aramid synthetic fiber (e.g., 1500 Denier Kevlar™ fiber). While first conductor group  210 ′ may extend along second conductor group axis A 1 ′ (e.g., parallel to central longitudinal axis A′ of cable subassembly  200 ′), one, some, or all conductors  212 ′ of first conductor group  210 ′ may be twisted in a lay direction about a twist axis of first conductor group  210 ′ (e.g., first conductor group axis A 1 ′ or any other axis that may extend through first conductor group  210 ′) along at least a portion of the length of first conductor group  210 ′ (e.g., in a first lay direction of arrow LD 1 ′ about the twist axis of first conductor group  210 ′ or in a second lay direction of arrow LD 2 ′ about the twist axis of first conductor group  210 ′). Regardless of the lay direction in which conductor(s)  212 ′ of first conductor group  210 ′ may be twisted about the twist axis of first conductor group  210 ′, the lay length of each twisted conductor (i.e., the distance required for a single conductor  212 ′ to be turned 360° about the twist axis of first conductor group  210 ′) may be any suitable length, such as in a range between 30 millimeters and 60 millimeters, or a maximum length of 100 millimeters. 
     Second conductor group  220 ′ may extend along a length of cable subassembly  200 ′ (e.g., along a second conductor group central axis A 2 ′ that may adjacent to central longitudinal axis A′) from a first end proximate the first cable end to an opposite second end proximate the second cable end. At a cross-section of cable subassembly  200 ′ taken perpendicularly to axis A′ (e.g., the cross-section of  FIG. 31 ), central axis A 2 ′ of second conductor group  220 ′ may be distanced from central longitudinal axis A′ by a distance (e.g., similar to distance A 2 D of subassembly  200 ), which may be about 0.78 millimeters or may be in any suitable range, such as between about 0.73 millimeters and 0.83 millimeters. Second conductor group  220 ′ may include one or more conductors  222 ′ that may be configured to electrically transmit signals between the ends of second conductor group  220 ′. Each conductor  222 ′ may be any suitable electrically conductive conductor that may be composed of any suitable material including, but not limited to, copper (e.g., a soft copper (e.g., annealed soft bare copper wire), a tin-plated soft copper, a silver-plated copper alloy, etc.), aluminum, steel, and any combination thereof. Although  FIG. 31  may only show forty-one (41) conductors  222 ′ in second conductor group  220 ′, it is to be understood that second conductor group  220 ′ may include any suitable number of conductors  222 ′, such as thirty-five (35) to forty-nine (49) conductors, or even just one (1) conductor, in some embodiments. Each conductor  222 ′ may be of any suitable geometry and may have any suitable diameter (e.g., similar to diameter d 2  of subassembly  200 ) or any other suitable cross-sectional width, which may be about 0.16 millimeters. Each conductor  222 ′ may be any suitable American Wire Gauge (AWG), such as number 34 AWG, while second conductor group  220 ′ may have an effective size with any suitable AWG, such as number 18 AWG, and while first conductor group  210 ′ may have an effective size with any suitable AWG, such as number 18 AWG, and/or while third conductor group  280 ′ may have an effective size with any suitable AWG, such as number 18 AWG. 
     Second conductor group  220 ′ (e.g., the collection of conductors  222 ′) may be of any suitable shape (e.g., as may be defined by the geometry of a second interior region  221 ′ within an interior surface of second insulation  240 ′), such as “pie-shaped” or a sector (e.g., circular sector) or a portion of a sector (e.g., a portion of a circular sector (e.g., a shape that may be defined by an arc of a disk and by two line segments or other suitably shaped arc joining segments that may be coupled together at respective first segment ends and that may each be coupled to a respective end of the arc at a respective second segment end, where the arc may be less than or greater than the circumference of the disk (e.g., the arc may be about 2/9 th &#39;s of the circumference of the disk (e.g., the central angle of the sector may be 80°)))) or the like in cross-section and, as shown in  FIG. 31 , may include an arc extending between points P 3 ′ and P 4 ′ along the circumference of disk or circle CR′. Moreover, in some embodiments, as shown in  FIG. 31 , amidst the one or more conductors  222 ′ of second conductor group  220 ′ (e.g., within the space that may be defined by an interior surface of second insulation  240 ′), cable subassembly  200 ′ may include at least one second support member  222   s ′ (e.g., proximate central axis A 2 ′ of second conductor group  220 ′) that may be provided to extend along at least a portion of the length of cable subassembly  200 ′ for providing structural reinforcement or filler material, where each second support member may be composed of any suitable material, such as a para-aramid synthetic fiber (e.g., 1500 Denier Kevlar™ fiber). While second conductor group  220 ′ may extend along second conductor group axis A 2 ′ (e.g., parallel to central longitudinal axis A′ of cable subassembly  200 ′), one, some, or all conductors  222 ′ of second conductor group  220 ′ may be twisted in a lay direction about a twist axis of second conductor group  220 ′ (e.g., second conductor group axis A 2 ′ or any other axis that may extend through second conductor group  220 ′) along at least a portion of the length of second conductor group  220 ′ (e.g., in a first lay direction of arrow LD 1 ′ about the twist axis of second conductor group  220 ′ or in a second lay direction of arrow LD 2 ′ about the twist axis of second conductor group  220 ′). Regardless of the lay direction in which conductor(s)  222 ′ of second conductor group  220 ′ may be twisted about the twist axis of second conductor group  220 ′, the lay length of each twisted conductor (i.e., the distance required for a single conductor  222 ′ to be turned 360° about the twist axis of second conductor group  220 ′) may be any suitable length, such as in a range between 30 millimeters and 60 millimeters, or a maximum length of 100 millimeters. 
     Third conductor group  280 ′ may extend along a length of cable subassembly  200 ′ (e.g., along a third conductor group central axis A 3 ′ that may adjacent to central longitudinal axis A′) from a first end proximate the first cable end to an opposite second end proximate the second cable end. At a cross-section of cable subassembly  200 ′ taken perpendicularly to axis A′ (e.g., the cross-section of  FIG. 31 ), central axis A 3 ′ of third conductor group  280 ′ may be distanced from central longitudinal axis A′ by a distance, which may be about 0.78 millimeters or may be in any suitable range, such as between about 0.73 millimeters and 0.83 millimeters. Third conductor group  280 ′ may include one or more conductors  282 ′ that may be configured to electrically transmit signals between the ends of third conductor group  280 ′. Each conductor  282 ′ may be any suitable electrically conductive conductor that may be composed of any suitable material including, but not limited to, copper (e.g., a soft copper (e.g., annealed soft bare copper wire), a tin-plated soft copper, a silver-plated copper alloy, etc.), aluminum, steel, and any combination thereof. Although  FIG. 31  may only show forty-one (41) conductors  282 ′ in third conductor group  280 ′, it is to be understood that third conductor group  280 ′ may include any suitable number of conductors  282 ′, such as thirty-five (35) to forty-nine (49) conductors, or even just one (1) conductor, in some embodiments. Each conductor  282 ′ may be of any suitable geometry and may have any suitable diameter or any other suitable cross-sectional width, which may be about 0.16 millimeters. Each conductor  282 ′ may be any suitable American Wire Gauge (AWG), such as number 34 AWG, while third conductor group  280 ′ may have an effective size with any suitable AWG, such as number 18 AWG, and while first conductor group  210 ′ may have an effective size with any suitable AWG, such as number 18 AWG, and/or while second conductor group  220 ′ may have an effective size with any suitable AWG, such as number 18 AWG. 
     Third conductor group  280 ′ (e.g., the collection of conductors  282 ′) may be of any suitable shape (e.g., as may be defined by the geometry of a third interior region  281 ′ within an interior surface of third insulation  290 ′), such as “pie-shaped” or a sector (e.g., circular sector) or a portion of a sector (e.g., a portion of a circular sector (e.g., a shape that may be defined by an arc of a disk and by two line segments or other suitably shaped arc joining segments that may be coupled together at respective first segment ends and that may each be coupled to a respective end of the arc at a respective second segment end, where the arc may be less than or greater than the circumference of the disk (e.g., the arc may be about 2/9 th &#39;s of the circumference of the disk (e.g., the central angle of the sector may be 80°)))) or the like in cross-section and, as shown in  FIG. 31 , may include an arc extending between points P 5 ′ and P 6 ′ along the circumference of disk or circle CR′. Moreover, in some embodiments, as shown in  FIG. 31 , amidst the one or more conductors  282 ′ of third conductor group  280 ′ (e.g., within the space that may be defined by an interior surface of third insulation  290 ′), cable subassembly  200 ′ may include at least one third support member  282   s ′ (e.g., proximate central axis A 3 ′ of third conductor group  280 ′) that may be provided to extend along at least a portion of the length of cable subassembly  200 ′ for providing structural reinforcement or filler material, where each third support member may be composed of any suitable material, such as a para-aramid synthetic fiber (e.g., 1500 Denier Kevlar™ fiber). While third conductor group  280 ′ may extend along third conductor group axis A 3 ′ (e.g., parallel to central longitudinal axis A′ of cable subassembly  200 ′), one, some, or all conductors  282 ′ of third conductor group  280 ′ may be twisted in a lay direction about a twist axis of third conductor group  280 ′ (e.g., third conductor group axis A 3 ′ or any other axis that may extend through third conductor group  280 ′) along at least a portion of the length of third conductor group  280 ′ (e.g., in a first lay direction of arrow LD 1 ′ about the twist axis of third conductor group  280 ′ or in a second lay direction of arrow LD 2 ′ about the twist axis of third conductor group  280 ′). Regardless of the lay direction in which conductor(s)  282 ′ of third conductor group  280 ′ may be twisted about the twist axis of third conductor group  280 ′, the lay length of each twisted conductor (i.e., the distance required for a single conductor  282 ′ to be turned 360° about the twist axis of third conductor group  280 ′) may be any suitable length, such as in a range between 30 millimeters and 60 millimeters, or a maximum length of 100 millimeters. While  FIG. 31  may show interior region  211 ′ of first conductor group  210 ′, interior region  221 ′ of second conductor group  220 ′, and interior region  281 ′ of third conductor group  280 ′ to be shaped similarly to each other, and while  FIG. 31  may show conductor  212 ′, conductor  222 ′, and conductor  282 ′ to be shaped similarly to each other, it is to be understood that first conductor group  210 ′, second conductor group  220 ′, and third conductor group  280 ′ may each be shaped differently and may each include different numbers of conductors of different sizes and/or shapes (e.g., first conductor group  210 ′ may include an arc that may be about 2/9 th &#39;s of the circumference of the disk (e.g., the central angle of the sector may be 80°), second conductor group  220 ′ may include an arc that may be about 1/9 th &#39;s of the circumference of the disk (e.g., the central angle of the sector may be 40°), and third conductor group  280 ′ may include an arc that may be about 3/9 th &#39;s of the circumference of the disk (e.g., the central angle of the sector may be 120°)). 
     Insulation subassembly  250 ′ may include first insulation  230 ′, which may be disposed about and along at least a portion of first conductor group  210 ′, second insulation  240 ′, which may be disposed about and along at least a portion of second conductor group  220 ′, and/or third insulation  290 ′, which may be disposed about and along at least a portion of third conductor group  280 ′, such that insulation subassembly  250 ′ may be operative to electrically isolate or insulate the conductor groups from one another along at least a portion of the length of cable subassembly  200 ′. Insulation  230 ′ and/or insulation  240 ′ and/or insulation  290 ′ may be any suitable insulating material or materials of any suitable structure that may be formed by any suitable technique or techniques. For example, one, some, or each of insulation  230 ′, insulation  240 ′, and insulation  290 ′ may be any suitable polymeric tape that may include a polymeric sheet that may optionally include an adhesive portion on one or both surfaces. Such a polymeric sheet may be constructed from any suitable plastic, such as polyethylene terephthalate (e.g., PET, such as Mylar™), Kapton™ tape, and the like. Such a sheet may be wrapped around a particular conductor group or both conductor groups in any suitable manner and may be wrapped in any suitable lay direction with respect to any suitable axis (e.g., axis A′, A 1 D′, A 2 D′, A 3 D′, etc.). Alternatively or additionally, one, some, or each of insulation  230 ′, insulation  240 ′, and insulation  290 ′ may be extruded about a particular conductor group or two or more conductor groups in any suitable manner. One, some, or each of insulation  230 ′, insulation  240 ′, and insulation  290 ′ may be any suitable material or combination of materials, including, but not limited to, plastics, rubbers, fluoropolymers, which may be foamed. The geometry of insulation  230 ′, insulation  240 ′, and insulation  290 ′ may be formed as a single component or as two or three or more distinct components. 
     Insulation subassembly  250 ′ may have any suitable geometry for providing appropriate insulation based on the materials of cable subassembly  200 ′ and/or the intended use of cable subassembly  200 ′. In some embodiments, as shown, first insulation  230 ′ may have a thickness IT 1 ′, which may be any suitable thickness, such as a thickness in a range between 0.33 millimeters and 0.43 millimeters, or an average thickness of about 0.38 millimeters. The magnitude of thickness IT 1 ′ may be substantially consistent about the entirety of first interior region  211 ′ (e.g., in a cross-section, such as in the cross-section of  FIG. 31  and/or in the cross-section of  FIG. 31A , where those two cross-sections of subassembly  200 ′ may have a similar relationship to the cross-sections of subassembly  200  of  FIGS. 2 and 3 ), for example, such that the minimum magnitude of thickness IT 1 ′ may be 0.33 millimeters and/or such that the minimum average magnitude of thickness IT 1 ′ about first interior region  211 ′ may be 0.38 millimeters. Additionally or alternatively, as shown, second insulation  240 ′ may have a thickness IT 2 ′, which may be any suitable thickness, such as a thickness in a range between 0.33 millimeters and 0.43 millimeters, or an average thickness of about 0.38 millimeters. The magnitude of thickness IT 2 ′ may be substantially consistent about the entirety of second interior region  221 ′ (e.g., in a cross-section, such as in the cross-section of  FIG. 31  and/or in the cross-section of  FIG. 31A ), for example, such that the minimum magnitude of thickness IT 2 ′ may be 0.33 millimeters and/or such that the minimum average magnitude of thickness IT 2 ′ about second interior region  221 ′ may be 0.38 millimeters. Additionally or alternatively, as shown, third insulation  290 ′ may have a thickness IT 3 ′, which may be any suitable thickness, such as a thickness in a range between 0.33 millimeters and 0.43 millimeters, or an average thickness of about 0.38 millimeters. The magnitude of thickness IT 3 ′ may be substantially consistent about the entirety of third interior region  281 ′ (e.g., in a cross-section, such as in the cross-section of  FIG. 31  and/or in the cross-section of  FIG. 31A ), for example, such that the minimum magnitude of thickness IT 3 ′ may be 0.33 millimeters and/or such that the minimum average magnitude of thickness IT 3 ′ about third interior region  281 ′ may be 0.38 millimeters. Therefore, in some embodiments, a particular portion of insulation subassembly  250 ′ may provide a thickness IT 4 ′ between two of first interior region  211 ′, second interior region  221 ′, and third interior region  281 ′ (e.g., between two of first conductor group  210 ′, second conductor group  220 ′, and third conductor group  280 ′) for electrically isolating or insulating conductor(s)  212 ′, conductor(s)  222 ′, and conductor(s)  282 ′ from each another, where thickness IT 4 ′ may be any suitable thickness, such as a thickness in a range between 0.50 millimeters and 0.65 millimeters, or a minimum average thickness of about 0.38 millimeters. 
     While first conductor group  210 ′, second conductor group  220 ′, and third conductor group  280 ′ may, respectively, extend along first conductor group axis A 1 ′, second conductor group axis A 2 ′, and third conductor group axis A 3 ′ (e.g., parallel to central longitudinal axis A′ of cable subassembly  200 ′), first conductor group  210 ′, second conductor group  220 ′, and third conductor group  280 ′ may together be twisted (e.g., along with insulation subassembly  250 ′) in a first lay direction about central longitudinal axis A′ along the length of at least a portion of cable subassembly  200 ′. For example, as shown in the differences between  FIG. 31  and  FIG. 31A , first conductor group  210 ′, second conductor group  220 ′, and third conductor group  280 ′ may be twisted in a lay direction about central longitudinal axis A′ or any other suitable twist axis of subassembly  200 ′ along at least a portion of the length of cable subassembly  200 ′ (e.g., in a first lay direction of arrow LD 1 ′ about the twist axis of subassembly  200 ′ or in a second lay direction of arrow LD 2 ′ about the twist axis of subassembly  200 ′). Regardless of the lay direction in which each one of conductor groups  210 ′,  220 ′, and  280 ′ may be twisted about axis A′ or any other suitable twist axis of subassembly  200 ′, the lay length of one, some, or all conductors of first conductor group  210 ′ and/or of second conductor group  220 ′ and/or of third conductor group  280 ′ (i.e., the distance required for a single conductor to be turned 360° about the twist axis of subassembly  200 ′) may be any suitable length, such as in a range between 30 millimeters and 60 millimeters, or a maximum length of 100 millimeters. With respect to  FIG. 31 , for example, regardless of whether the lay direction in which first conductor group  210 ′, second conductor group  220 ′, and third conductor group  280 ′ may together be twisted about axis A′ or any other suitable twist axis of subassembly  200 ′ is the direction of arrow LD 1 ′ or LD 2 ′, the lay direction in which conductors  212 ′ of group  210 ′ may be twisted about a twist axis of group  210 ′ may be either the direction of arrow LD 1 ′ or LD 2 ′, and the lay direction in which conductors  222 ′ of group  220 ′ may be twisted about a twist axis of group  220 ′ may be either the direction of arrow LD 1 ′ or LD 2 ′, and the lay direction in which conductors  282 ′ of group  280 ′ may be twisted about a twist axis of group  280 ′ may be either the direction of arrow LD 1 ′ or LD 2 ′. In some embodiments, as shown, first conductor group  210 ′ and second conductor group  220 ′ may extend parallel to one another along longitudinal axis A′ (e.g., center axis A 1 ′ of first conductor group  210 ′ and center axis A 2 ′ of second conductor group  220 ′ may always be separated from one another by a distance, which may be substantially the same along at least a portion of the length of subassembly  200 ′), and/or first conductor group  210 ′ and third conductor group  280 ′ may extend parallel to one another along longitudinal axis A′ (e.g., center axis A 1 ′ of first conductor group  210 ′ and center axis A 3 ′ of third conductor group  280 ′ may always be separated from one another by a distance, which may be substantially the same along at least a portion of the length of subassembly  200 ′), and/or second conductor group  220 ′ and third conductor group  280 ′ may extend parallel to one another along longitudinal axis A′ (e.g., center axis A 2 ′ of second conductor group  220 ′ and center axis A 3 ′ of third conductor group  280 ′ may always be separated from one another by a distance, which may be substantially the same along at least a portion of the length of subassembly  200 ′). Therefore, a central axis of each one of first conductor group  210 ′, second conductor group  220 ′, and third conductor group  280 ′ may be removed from longitudinal axis A′ of cable subassembly  200 ′ at any cross-section along the length of cable subassembly  200 ′ (e.g., as shown in  FIG. 31  and  FIG. 31A ). For example, the distance between central axis A 1 ′ and longitudinal axis A′ in the cross-section of  FIG. 31  may be the same or substantially the same as the distance between central axis A 1 ′ and longitudinal axis A′ in the cross-section of  FIG. 31A , where in each cross-section, central axis A 1 ′ of first conductor group  210 ′ may extend through the centroid or geometric center of first conductor group  210 ′ in that cross-section, and where central longitudinal axis A′ of cable subassembly  200 ′ may extend through the centroid or geometric center of cable subassembly  200 ′ in that cross-section. Additionally or alternatively, the distance between central axis A 2 ′ and longitudinal axis A′ in the cross-section of  FIG. 31  may be the same or substantially the same as the distance between central axis A 2 ′ and longitudinal axis A′ in the cross-section of  FIG. 31A , where in each cross-section, central axis A 2 ′ of second conductor group  220 ′ may extend through the centroid or geometric center of second conductor group  220 ′ in that cross-section, and where central longitudinal axis A′ of cable subassembly  200 ′ may extend through the centroid or geometric center of cable subassembly  200 ′ in that cross-section. Additionally or alternatively, the distance between central axis A 3 ′ and longitudinal axis A′ in the cross-section of  FIG. 31  may be the same or substantially the same as the distance between central axis A 3 ′ and longitudinal axis A′ in the cross-section of  FIG. 31A , where in each cross-section, central axis A 3 ′ of third conductor group  280 ′ may extend through the centroid or geometric center of third conductor group  280 ′ in that cross-section, and where central longitudinal axis A′ of cable subassembly  200 ′ may extend through the centroid or geometric center of cable subassembly  200 ′ in that cross-section. Additionally or alternatively, the distance between central axis A 1 ′ and central axis A 2 ′ in the cross-section of  FIG. 31  may be the same or substantially the same as the distance between central axis A 1 ′ and central axis A 2 ′ in the cross-section of  FIG. 31A , where in each cross-section, central axis A 1 ′ of first conductor group  210 ′ may extend through the centroid or geometric center of first conductor group  210 ′ in that cross-section, and where in each cross-section, central axis A 2 ′ of second conductor group  220 ′ may extend through the centroid or geometric center of second conductor group  220 ′ in that cross-section. Additionally or alternatively, the distance between central axis A 1 ′ and central axis A 3 ′ in the cross-section of  FIG. 31  may be the same or substantially the same as the distance between central axis A 1 ′ and central axis A 3 ′ in the cross-section of  FIG. 31A , where in each cross-section, central axis A 1 ′ of first conductor group  210 ′ may extend through the centroid or geometric center of first conductor group  210 ′ in that cross-section, and where in each cross-section, central axis A 3 ′ of third conductor group  280 ′ may extend through the centroid or geometric center of third conductor group  280 ′ in that cross-section. Additionally or alternatively, the distance between central axis A 3 ′ and central axis A 2 ′ in the cross-section of  FIG. 31  may be the same or substantially the same as the distance between central axis A 3 ′ and central axis A 2 ′ in the cross-section of  FIG. 31A , where in each cross-section, central axis A 3 ′ of third conductor group  280 ′ may extend through the centroid or geometric center of third conductor group  280 ′ in that cross-section, and where in each cross-section, central axis A 2 ′ of second conductor group  220 ′ may extend through the centroid or geometric center of second conductor group  220 ′ in that cross-section. In some embodiments, the distance between longitudinal axis A′ and central axis A 1 ′ may be the same or substantially the same as the distance between longitudinal axis A′ and central axis A 2 ′ and/or may be the same or substantially the same as the distance between longitudinal axis A′ and central axis A 3 ′, either in one cross-section, some cross-sections, or all cross-sections. In some embodiments, the distance between central axis A 1 ′ and central axis A 2 ′ may be the same or substantially the same as the distance between central axis A 1 ′ and central axis A 3 ′ and/or may be the same or substantially the same as the distance between central axis A 2 ′ and central axis A 3 ′, either in one cross-section, some cross-sections, or all cross-sections. 
     Cable subassembly  200 ′ may be assembled using any suitable procedure(s). In some embodiments, any suitable number of conductors  212 ′ may be twisted in a particular lay direction (e.g., about the twist axis of first conductor group  210 ′) to form a twisted collection of conductors that may be in any suitable geometry (e.g., a circular cross-sectional geometry). Then that collection of conductors  212 ′ may be formed into a desired shape (e.g., a pie-shape) by putting at least a portion of that twisted collection of conductors  212 ′ through a die or roller(s) of the shape (e.g., in any suitable extrusion process). Then, that shaped and twisted collection may be provided as group  210 ′ and may have insulation  230 ′ provided about that group  210 ′. A similar process may be done to provide insulation  240 ′ about group  220 ′ and/or to provide insulation  290 ′ about group  280 ′. Then, each one of insulated groups  210 ′,  220 ′, and  280 ′ may be put through a respective aligning die (e.g., such that an arc of each shaped and twisted collection of conductors defines a particular part of a circumference of a circle (e.g., a circle CR′ of  FIG. 31  (e.g., a circle with a center that may be a point along the twist axis of subassembly  200 ′))) and then they may be twisted together about any suitable twist axis of subassembly  200 ′, such as longitudinal axis A′ or any other suitable axis that may extend through a space within which the aligning dies are twisted, where adhesive may or may not be provided between any two or more of insulated groups  210 ′,  220 ′, and  280 ′ prior, during, or after the twisting of the insulated groups. Jacket  260 ′ may then be provided to fix the twisted relationship of insulated groups  210 ′,  220 ′, and  280 ′. 
     Jacket  260 ′ may be disposed around insulation subassembly  250 ′ along a length of cable subassembly  200 ′. Jacket  260 ′ may be any suitable insulating and/or conductive material that may be provided (e.g., extruded) about insulation subassembly  250 ′ for protecting the internal structure of cable subassembly  200 ′ from environmental threats (e.g., impact damage, debris, heat, fluids, and/or the like). For example, jacket  260 ′ may be a thermoplastic copolyester (“TPC”) (e.g., Arnitel™ XG5857) that can be extruded around the outer periphery of insulation subassembly  250 ′. Jacket  260 ′ may be provided around the outer periphery of insulation subassembly  250 ′ with any suitable thickness JT and may provide an overall jacket diameter (or any other suitable cross-sectional width) JW′. For example, in some embodiments, thickness JT of jacket  260 ′ may have any suitable magnitude, such as a thickness in a range between 0.61 millimeters and 0.96 millimeters, or an average thickness of about 0.76 millimeters. The magnitude of thickness JT may be substantially consistent about the entirety of insulation subassembly  250 ′ (e.g., in a cross-section, such as in the cross-section of  FIG. 31  and/or in the cross-section of  FIG. 31A ), for example, such that the minimum magnitude of thickness JT may be 0.60 millimeters and/or such that the minimum average magnitude of thickness JT about insulation subassembly  250 ′ may be 0.76 millimeters. Additionally or alternatively, maximum cross-sectional width JW′ of jacket  260 ′ may have any suitable magnitude, such as a width in a range between 5.7 millimeters and 6.5 millimeters, or about 6.0 millimeters. Jacket  260 ′ may be operative to provide the outermost layer for at least a portion of cable subassembly  200 ′ and may include any suitable surface finish (e.g., SPI Finish-D2). 
     Alternatively, in some embodiments, a cover  270 ′ may be disposed around jacket  260 ′ along a length of cable subassembly  200 ′, such that cover  270 ′ may be operative to provide the outer most layer for at least a portion of cable subassembly  200 ′. Cover  270 ′ may be any suitable insulating and/or conductive material that may be provided (e.g., braided) about jacket  260 ′ for protecting the internal structure of cable subassembly  200 ′ from environmental threats (e.g., impact damage, debris, heat, fluids, and/or the like). For example, cover  270 ′ may be a nylon and/or polyester that may be braided about the outer periphery of jacket  260 ′. Cover  270 ′ may be provided around the outer periphery of jacket  260 ′ with any suitable thickness CT and may provide an overall cover diameter or any other suitable cross-sectional width CW′. For example, in some embodiments, thickness CT of cover  270 ′ may have any suitable magnitude, such as a thickness in a range between 0.1 millimeters and 0.5 millimeters, or an average thickness of about 0.2 millimeters. The magnitude of thickness CT may be substantially consistent about the entirety of jacket  260 ′ (e.g., in a cross-section, such as in the cross-section of  FIG. 31  and/or in the cross-section of  FIG. 31A ), for example, such that the average magnitude of thickness CT about jacket  260 ′ may be 0.2 millimeters. Additionally or alternatively, maximum cross-sectional width CW′ of cover  270 ′ may have any suitable magnitude, such as a width in a range between 6.1 millimeters and 6.9 millimeters, or about 6.4 millimeters. 
     Insulation subassembly  250 ′ may at least partially define and retain the cross-sectional shape of each one of first conductor group  210 ′, second conductor group  220 ′, and third conductor group  280 ′ as similar shapes, complimentary shapes, or different shapes. In some embodiments, as shown in  FIGS. 31 and 31A , for example, first interior region  211 ′ of first insulation  230 ′ about first conductor group  210 ′ may have a cross-sectional area with a first pie-shape (e.g., an outer periphery of first conductor group  210 ′ in the cross-section of  FIG. 31A  may define a shape of a portion of a circular sector with an arc R 1 ′ extending between points P 1 ′ and P 2 ′), while second interior region  221 ′ of second insulation  240 ′ about second conductor group  220 ′ may have a cross-sectional area with a second pie-shape (e.g., an outer periphery of second conductor group  220 ′ in the cross-section of  FIG. 31A  may define a shape of a portion of a circular sector with an arc R 2 ′ extending between points P 3 ′ and P 4 ′), while third interior region  281 ′ of third insulation  290 ′ about third conductor group  280 ′ may have a cross-sectional area with a third pie-shape (e.g., an outer periphery of third conductor group  280 ′ in the cross-section of  FIG. 31A  may define a shape of a portion of a circular sector with an arc R 3 ′ extending between points P 5 ′ and P 6 ′). The shape of first interior region  211 ′ about first conductor group  210 ′ may be defined by at least a first portion of a surface of insulation subassembly  250 ′ (e.g., insulation  230 ′), whereas the shape of first interior region  221 ′ about second conductor group  220 ′ may be defined by at least a second portion of a surface of insulation subassembly  250 ′ (e.g., insulation  240 ′), and whereas the shape of third interior region  281 ′ about third conductor group  280 ′ may be defined by at least a third portion of a surface of insulation subassembly  250 ′ (e.g., insulation  290 ′). In some embodiments, as shown, insulation subassembly  250 ′ may be configured to position first interior region  211 ′ with respect to second interior region  221 ′ and third interior region  281 ′ such that significant portions of the cross-sectional shapes of interior regions  211 ′,  221 ′, and  281 ′ may combine to form a significant portion of a circular shape, thereby reducing the cross-sectional area inhabited by interior regions  211 ′,  221 ′, and  281 ′. For example, as shown in  FIG. 31 , each one of arc R 1 ′ of interior region  211 ′ and arc R 2 ′ of interior region  221 ′ and arc R 3 ′ of interior region  281 ′ may define a particular portion of a circumference of circle CR′ (e.g., the entirety or substantially the entirety of arc R 1 ′ may define a portion of a circle&#39;s circumference that may also be partially defined by the entirety or substantially the entirety of arc R 2 ′ and by the entirety or substantially the entirety of arc R 3 ′). This may allow insulation subassembly  250 ′ to have a circular cross-section with a reduced cross-sectional diameter IW′ while also packing as many conductors (e.g., conductors  212 ′,  222 ′, and  282 ′) as possible within the interior of insulation subassembly  250 ′ (e.g., as compared to a cable subassembly in which each one of interior regions  211 ′,  221 ′, and  281 ′ may be circular yet also separated from one another by a particular distance IT 4 ′, which results in a larger cross-sectional diameter IW′). Various other shapes and geometries may be provided to enable such reduction in the overall size of cable subassembly  200 ′. For example, rather than being defined by an arc and two straight arc joining segments, each interior region may be defined by a curve similar to an arc but, rather than also being defined by two straight arc joining segments that are coupled together and that extend from respective ends of the arc, one, some, or each interior region may be defined by one or more non-straight arc joining segments. 
     Therefore, cable subassembly  200 ′ may be configured to provide a cable that may be safely used with cable assembly  100  as an AC power cordset that may have any suitable electrical rating, such as an electrical rating of 10 A, 125 VAC. In some embodiments, such a cable subassembly  200 ′ may be operative to meet the requirements of UL Standard 62 (e.g., each one of IT 1 ′, IT 2 ′, and IT 3 ′ may include about 0.33 millimeter minimum thickness and 0.38 millimeter minimum average thickness with a 35 millimeter lay length max (right), JT may include about 0.61 millimeter minimum thickness and 0.76 millimeter minimum average thickness, group  210 ′ may include about 41 conductors  212 ′ with a diameter of about 0.16 millimeters and 20 millimeter lay length max (right) and filler  212   s ′ of about 1500D aramid fiber, and/or group  220 ′ may include about 41 conductors  222 ′ with a diameter of about 0.16 millimeters and 20 millimeter lay length max (right) and filler  222   s ′ of about 1500D aramid fiber, and/or group  280 ′ may include about 41 conductors  282 ′ with a diameter of about 0.16 millimeters and 20 millimeter lay length max (right) and filler  282   s ′ of about 1500D aramid fiber, which may enable a JW′ of about 4.85 millimeters+/−0.10 millimeters). Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, such a cable subassembly  200 ′ may be operative to meet the requirements of any other suitable standard. For example, cable subassembly  200 ′ may be operative to meet the requirements of EN50525/IEC62821 (e.g., each one of IT 1 ′, IT 2 ′, and IT 3 ′ may include about 0.35 millimeter minimum thickness and 0.50 millimeter minimum average thickness with a 70 millimeter lay length max (right), JT may include about 0.41 millimeter minimum thickness and 0.60 or 0.65 millimeter minimum average thickness, group  210 ′ may include about 67 conductors  212 ′ with a diameter of about 0.12 millimeters and 20 millimeter+/−5 millimeter lay length max (right) and filler  212   s ′ of about 1000D aramid fiber, and/or group  220 ′ may include about 67 conductors  222 ′ with a diameter of about 0.12 millimeters and 20 millimeter+/−5 millimeter lay length max (right) and filler  222   s ′ of about 1000D aramid fiber, and/or group  280 ′ may include about 67 conductors  282 ′ with a diameter of about 0.12 millimeters and 20 millimeter+/−5 millimeter lay length max (right) and filler  282   s ′ of about 1000D aramid fiber, which may enable a JW′ of about 4.91 millimeters+/−0.10 millimeters). As another example, cable subassembly  200 ′ may be operative to meet the requirements of JCS 4509 (e.g., each one of IT 1 ′, IT 2 ′, and IT 3 ′ may include about 0.48 millimeter minimum thickness and 0.54 millimeter minimum average thickness with a 46 millimeter lay length max (right), JT may include about 0.70 millimeter minimum thickness and 0.90 millimeter minimum average thickness, group  210 ′ may include about 67 conductors  212 ′ with a diameter of about 0.12 millimeters and 20 millimeter lay length max (right) and filler  212   s ′ of about 200D or 1000D aramid fiber, and/or group  220 ′ may include about 67 conductors  222 ′ with a diameter of about 0.12 millimeters and 20 millimeter lay length max (right) and filler  222   s ′ of about 200D or 1000D aramid fiber, and/or group  280 ′ may include about 67 conductors  282 ′ with a diameter of about 0.12 millimeters and 20 millimeter lay length max (right) and filler  282   s ′ of about 200D or 1000D aramid fiber, which may enable a JW′ of about 5.32 millimeters+/−0.10 millimeters). As another example, cable subassembly  200 ′ may be operative to meet the requirements of IS  694  (e.g., each one of IT 1 ′, IT 2 ′, and IT 3 ′ may include about 0.44 millimeter minimum thickness and 0.60 millimeter minimum average thickness with a 70 millimeter lay length max (right), JT may include about 0.52 millimeter minimum thickness and 0.90 millimeter minimum average thickness, group  210 ′ may include about 24 conductors  212 ′ with a diameter of about 0.20 millimeters and 20 millimeter lay length max (right) and filler  212   s ′ of about 200D or 1000D aramid fiber, and/or group  220 ′ may include about 24 conductors  222 ′ with a diameter of about 0.20 millimeters and 20 millimeter lay length max (right) and filler  222   s ′ of about 200D or 1000D aramid fiber, and/or group  280 ′ may include about 24 conductors  282 ′ with a diameter of about 0.20 millimeters and 20 millimeter lay length max (right) and filler  282   s ′ of about 200D or 1000D aramid fiber, which may enable a JW′ of about 5.82 millimeters+/−0.10 millimeters). 
     As shown in  FIGS. 32-43 , another second cable connector subassembly  400 ′ may be provided that may be similar to second cable connector subassembly  400  but that may be electrically coupled to one or more conductor groups of a cable subassembly in a different manner (e.g., using different conductor contacts). For example, as shown, a cable assembly  100 ′ may be similar to cable assembly  100  and may include cable subassembly  200  but may also include second cable connector subassembly  400 ′ coupled to end  204  of cable subassembly  200  rather than second cable connector subassembly  400  coupled to end  204  of cable subassembly  200 . Second cable connector subassembly  400 ′ may include at least two device contacts, such as device contact  410 ′ and device contact  420 ′, and at least two conductor contacts, such as conductor contact  430 ′ and conductor contact  440 ′. Device contact  410 ′ may be electrically coupled to first conductor group  210  (e.g., to one, some, or each conductor  212  of first conductor group  210  at or adjacent first conductor group second end  214  at second cable end  204 ) via conductor contact  430 ′ and may be operative to be electrically coupled to a remote subsystem (e.g., subsystem  600 ), while contact  420 ′ may be electrically coupled to second conductor group  220  (e.g., to one, some, or each conductor  222  of second conductor group  220  at or adjacent second conductor group second end  224  at second cable end  204 ) via conductor contact  440 ′ and may be operative to be electrically coupled to the remote subsystem (e.g., subsystem  600 ). In other embodiments, it is to be understood that second cable connector subassembly  400 ′ may include at least three contacts, each of which may be electrically coupled to a respective one of conductor groups  210 ′,  220 ′, and  280 ′ of subassembly  200 ′. Device contact  410 ′ may include a female receptacle portion  413 ′ (e.g., a device coupling portion) and a device contact extension portion  414 ′, while conductor contact  430 ′ may include a coupling portion  434 ′ and a conductor contact extension portion  433 ′. Coupling portion  434 ′ of conductor contact  430 ′ may be operative to be electrically coupled to at least a portion of first conductor group  210  (e.g., through ultrasonic welding), as shown by  FIG. 37 , while conductor contact extension portion  433 ′ of conductor contact  430 ′ may be operative to extend from coupling portion  434 ′ and to be electrically coupled to device contact  410 ′ (e.g., to device contact extension portion  414 ′ (e.g., via laser welding)), as shown by  FIG. 39 , while female receptacle portion  413 ′ of device contact  410 ′ may be operative to interact with a remote subsystem (e.g., female receptacle portion  413 ′ may be operative to receive and at least partially hold a respective male-type contact  610  of second device subsystem  600 ) for electrically coupling female receptacle portion  413 ′ with remote subsystem  600  and, thus, for electrically coupling remote subsystem  600  with first conductor group  210  via device contact  410 ′ and conductor contact  430 ′. Similarly, device contact  420 ′ may include a female receptacle portion  423 ′ (e.g., a device coupling portion) and a device contact extension portion  424 ′, while conductor contact  440 ′ may include a coupling portion  444 ′ and a conductor contact extension portion  443 ′. Coupling portion  444 ′ of conductor contact  440 ′ may be operative to be electrically coupled to at least a portion of second conductor group  220 ′ (e.g., through ultrasonic welding), as shown by  FIG. 37 , while conductor contact extension portion  443 ′ of conductor contact  440 ′ may be operative to extend from coupling portion  444 ′ and to be electrically coupled to device contact  420 ′ (e.g., to device contact extension portion  424 ′ (e.g., via laser welding)), as shown by  FIG. 39 , while female receptacle portion  423 ′ of device contact  420 ′ may be operative to interact with a remote subsystem (e.g., female receptacle portion  423 ′ may be operative to receive and at least partially hold a respective male-type contact  620  of second device subsystem  600 ) for electrically coupling female receptacle portion  423 ′ with remote subsystem  600  and, thus, for electrically coupling remote subsystem  600  with second conductor group  220  via device contact  420 ′ and conductor contact  440 ′. Each one of device contacts  410 ′ and  420 ′ may be made of any suitable conductive material or combination of conductive materials (e.g., phosphor bronze (e.g., C5191-H) with or without nickel plating) for enabling communication of electrical signals between device subsystem  600  and cable connector subassembly  400 ′. Similarly, each one of conductor contacts  430 ′ and  440 ′ may be made of any suitable conductive material or combination of conductive materials (e.g., phosphor bronze (e.g., C5191-H) with or without nickel plating) for enabling communication of electrical signals between at least one conductor of cable subassembly  200  and a respective device contact. As shown, the geometry and size of conductor contact  430 ′ may be the same or substantially the same as conductor contact  440 ′, which may enable contacts  430 ′ and  440 ′ to be used interchangeably during assembly for ease of manufacture. Moreover, as shown, the geometry and size of device contact  410 ′ may be the same or substantially the same as device contact  420 ′, which may enable contacts  410 ′ and  420 ′ to be used interchangeably during assembly for ease of manufacture. The electrical coupling of each one of conductor contacts  430 ′ and  440 ′ to a respective one of conductor groups  210  and  220  (e.g., through metal ultrasonic welding) may provide a coupling force of 100 newtons or at least 89 newtons. It is to be understood that while device coupling portion  413 ′ of device contact  410 ′ and device coupling portion  423 ′ of device contact  420 ′ may be shown as female-type receptacles (e.g., for receiving and/or at least partially holding a respective male-type contact of second device subsystem  600 ), at least one of device coupling portion  413 ′ of device contact  410 ′ and device coupling portion  423 ′ of device contact  420 ′ may be a male-type contact (e.g., for being received by and/or at least partially held by a respective female-type contact of second device subsystem  600 ). As shown, device contact  410 ′ and device contact  420 ′ may be identical (e.g., geometrically and/or physically and/or otherwise) such that only a single type of component may be required in order to provide each device contact of subassembly  400 ′. Additionally or alternatively, as shown, conductor contact  430 ′ and conductor contact  440 ′ may be identical (e.g., geometrically and/or physically and/or otherwise) such that only a single type of component may be required in order to provide each conductor contact of subassembly  400 ′. 
     As shown, for example, by the differences between  FIG. 35  and  FIG. 36 , prior to electrically coupling first conductor group  210  to conductor contact  430 ′ and prior to electrically coupling second conductor group  220  to conductor contact  440 ′, the shape of one or both of first conductor group  210  and second conductor group  220  may be reconfigured for more easily being electrically coupled to a respective conductor contact of cable connector subassembly  400 ′. For example, a portion of first conductor group  210  at or adjacent first conductor group second end  214  at second cable end  204  may be reconfigured from a first shape (e.g., a first shape with a cross-sectional D-shape of  FIG. 35 ) to a second shape (e.g., a second shape with a rectangular cross-sectional shape of  FIG. 36 ) for defining a conductor coupling portion  217  that may more easily be electrically coupled to a coupling surface or surfaces of coupling portion  434 ′ of conductor contact  430 ′ (e.g., for defining a larger surface area (e.g., width RCW′ of a surface of conductor coupling portion  217  of conductor group  210  of  FIG. 41  may be wider than the width of chord DC 1  of conductor group  210  of  FIG. 2 )), and/or a portion of second conductor group  220  at or adjacent second conductor group second end  224  at second cable end  204  may be reconfigured from a first shape (e.g., a first shape with a cross-sectional D-shape of  FIG. 35 ) to a second shape (e.g., a second shape with a rectangular cross-sectional shape of  FIG. 36 ) for defining a conductor coupling portion  227  that may more easily be electrically coupled to a coupling surface or surfaces of coupling portion  444 ′ of conductor contact  440 ′. Conductors  212  of the portion of conductor group  210  to be reconfigured may be held together in a new suitable shape through any suitable process, such as ultrasonic welding (e.g., metal ultrasonic welding) or any other suitable welding process or otherwise. For example, the portion of conductors  212  of the portion of conductor group  210  to be reconfigured may be positioned within an ultrasonic press and/or nest of a particular shape (e.g., a shape with a rectangular cross-section, where the conductors may be manually re-shaped from the initial D-shape to fit within such a press and/or nest through any manual or other suitable procedure) and then high-frequency ultrasonic acoustic vibrations may be applied thereto for holding that portion of conductors  212  together in that particular shape (e.g., for providing the rectangular cross-sectional shape of first conductor group  210  at or adjacent first conductor group second end  214  at second cable end  204  as shown in  FIG. 36 ). Such reconfiguration may be operative to ensure that each conductor  212  of the reconfigured portion of conductors  212  of the portion of conductor group  210  at second cable end  204  may be electrically coupled to each other, such that when a coupling surface or surfaces of coupling portion  434 ′ of conductor contact  430 ′ may be electrically coupled to only a subset of conductors  212  at that reconfigured portion of conductor group  210 , each conductor  212  may be electrically coupled to that coupling surface or surfaces of coupling portion  434 ′ of conductor contact  430 ′. In some embodiments, conductor group  220  may be bent or otherwise moved away from conductor group  210  (e.g., in the −Y direction) such that conductor group  210  may be more easily interfaced with apparatus (e.g., ultrasonic welding apparatus) for reconfiguring the shape of conductor group  210 , and/or conductor group  210  may be bent or otherwise moved away from conductor group  220  (e.g., in the +Y direction) such that conductor group  220  may be more easily interfaced with apparatus (e.g., ultrasonic welding apparatus) for reconfiguring the shape of conductor group  220 . The geometry of the reconfigured portion of each conductor group may be any suitable geometry for promoting a reliable coupling with a conductor contact of subassembly  400 ′. For example, as shown in  FIG. 41 , a reconfigured shape of a portion of conductor group  210  at end  204  (e.g., conductor coupling portion  217 ) for coupling to conductor contact  430 ′ may have any suitable width RCW′ (e.g., width RCW′ may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 2.20 millimeters and 2.30 millimeters or may be about 2.25 millimeters). As another example, as shown in  FIG. 43 , a reconfigured shape of a portion of conductor group  210  at end  204  (e.g., conductor coupling portion  217 ) for coupling to conductor contact  430 ′ may have any suitable height RCH′ (e.g., height RCH′ may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 0.20 millimeters and 0.40 millimeters or may be about 0.30 millimeters). As shown, for example, in  FIG. 43 , three layers of conductors  212  may define this reconfigured shape, although conductors  212  may be rearranged in any suitable manner for providing the new shape. As another example, as shown in  FIG. 43 , a reconfigured shape of a portion of conductor group  210  at end  204  (e.g., conductor coupling portion  217 ) may provide any suitable dimension RCD′ along the length of the reconfigured portion for coupling to conductor contact  430 ′ (e.g., dimension RCD′ may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 3.60 millimeters and 4.00 millimeters or may be about 3.80 millimeters). The portion of conductors  222  of the portion of conductor group  220  to be reconfigured (e.g., to provide conductor coupling portion  227 ) may be reconfigured in a similar manner as that of conductor group  210  and/or to a similar or different shape than that of conductor group  210 . 
     As also shown in  FIGS. 36, 36A, and 36B , either prior to or after any shape reconfiguration of conductor group  210  and/or conductor group  220 , a divider component  485 ′ may be inserted between conductor group  210  and conductor group  220  for promoting separation between conductor group  210  and conductor group  220  at end  204 , which may prevent shorting between the two conductor groups and/or may better enable the coupling of conductor contacts  430 ′ and  440 ′ to respective conductor groups  210  and  220 . Divider component  485 ′ may include a divider body  486 ′ defining a divider body opening  488 ′, and a partition body  487 ′ that may be coupled to or integrated with divider body  486 ′ for defining a first opening  488   a ′ (e.g., a portion of divider body opening  488 ′) and a second opening  488   b ′ (e.g., another portion of divider body opening  488 ′). Partition body  487 ′ may extend between a first end  487   h ′ that may include a tip  487   t ′ and a second end  487   g ′. In some embodiments, first end  487   h ′ may be inserted in the +X direction in between first conductor group second end  214  of first conductor group  210  at second cable end  204  and second conductor group second end  224  of second conductor group  220  at second cable end  204 , such that a portion (e.g., a reconfigured portion) of first conductor group  210  may pass through first opening  488   a ′ of divider component  485 ′ and such that a portion (e.g., a reconfigured portion) of second conductor group  220  may pass through second opening  488   b ′ of divider component  485 ′. As shown in  FIG. 43 , for example, first end  487   h ′ may be inserted in the +X direction until a portion of divider component  485 ′ physically interfaces with a non-conductor portion of cable subassembly  200  (e.g., until tip  487   t ′ may be positioned against and/or in between insulation  230  and insulation  240 , and/or until one or more wing tips  489 ′ that may extend from divider body  486 ′ may be positioned against a non-conductor portion of cable subassembly  200  (e.g., insulation  250  and/or jacket  260  and/or cover  270 )), where wing tips  489 ′ may be operative to help locate divider body  486 ′ by acting as a stop against the insulators. At such an inserted position, partition body  487 ′ may be positioned in between a portion of first conductor group  210  and a portion of second conductor group  220 , which may be operative to promote or ensure any suitable spacing distance DSD′ between conductor group  210  and conductor group  220  at end  204  (e.g., distance DSD′ may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 0.80 millimeters and 0.86 millimeters or may be about 0.83 millimeters and preferably no less than 0.60 millimeters (e.g., to prevent shorting (e.g., to ensure a suitable amount of insulation may be provided (e.g., by body component  460 ′) between conductor coupling portion  217  and conductor coupling portion  227  (e.g., for electrically isolating or insulating the electrical paths of conductor groups  210  and  220 )))). Divider body  486 ′ may have any suitable width DBW′ (e.g., width DBW′ may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 4.12 millimeters and 4.28 millimeters or may be about 4.20 millimeters), any suitable height DBH′ (e.g., height DBH′ may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 2.90 millimeters and 3.04 millimeters or may be about 2.97 millimeters), any suitable length DBL′ not including any wing tips  489 ′ (e.g., length DBL′ may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 1.58 millimeters and 1.68 millimeters or may be about 1.63 millimeters), and any suitable length DBWL′ including any wing tips  489 ′ (e.g., length DBWL′ may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 2.70 millimeters and 2.80 millimeters or may be about 2.75 millimeters). Divider body opening  488   a ′ may have any suitable width DBOAW′ (e.g., width DBOAW′ may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 2.66 millimeters and 2.82 millimeters or may be about 2.74 millimeters), any suitable height DBOAH′ (e.g., height DBOAH′ may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 0.68 millimeters and 0.78 millimeters or may be about 0.73 millimeters), and any suitable length DBL′. Driver body opening  488   b ′ may have any suitable width DBOBW′ (e.g., width DBOBW′ may be the same as or different than width DBOAW′), any suitable height DBOBH′ (e.g., height DBOBH′ may be the same as or different than height DBOAH′), and any suitable length DBL′. Partition body  487 ′ may have any suitable height PBH′ (e.g., height PBH′ may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 0.73 millimeters and 0.83 millimeters or may be about 0.78 millimeters), any suitable length PBL′ not including tip  487   t ′ (e.g., length PBL′ may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 3.05 millimeters and 3.15 millimeters or may be about 3.10 millimeters), any suitable length TPBL′ for tip  487   t ′ (e.g., length TPBL′ may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 0.18 millimeters and 0.24 millimeters or may be about 0.21 millimeters), and any suitable length EPBL′ extending beyond divider body  486 ′ in the −X direction to second end  487   g ′ (e.g., length EPBL′ may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 1.43 millimeters and 1.57 millimeters or may be about 1.50 millimeters). A portion of partition body  487 ′ at or proximate to second end  487   g ′ may be wider than divider body opening  488 ′ (e.g., width PBGW′ of partition body  487 ′ may be larger than width DBOAW′ and/or width DBOBW′ of body opening  488 ′ (e.g., width PBGW′ may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 3.52 millimeters and 3.62 millimeters or may be about 3.57 millimeters)). In some embodiments, as shown in  FIG. 36B , for example, a portion of partition body  487 ′ at or through second end  487   g ′ may include one or more cavity markings  487   m ′. At least a portion or all of divider component  485 ′ may be made of any suitable material or combination of materials, such as nylon (e.g., nylon PA4T) or any other suitable thermoplastic or any other suitable insulator that may not electrically couple conductor group  210  and conductor group  220 , and may include any suitable surface finish (e.g., SPI Finish-B2). 
     As shown, second cable connector subassembly  400 ′ may also include a cable support component  450 ′, which may be similar to cable support component  450  of cable connector subassembly  400 ), that may be operative to be secured to cable subassembly  200  about a particular portion of cable subassembly  200  for providing a rigid surface against which a portion of a collet may exert any suitable force for retaining second cable connector subassembly  400 ′ in a particular position with respect to remote subsystem  600  (e.g., retention mechanism  660  of  FIGS. 26-30 ). For example, as shown in  FIGS. 34-37 , at any suitable moment during the formation of connector subassembly  400 ′ (e.g., before or after or during the coupling of one or both of conductor contacts  430 ′ and  440 ′ to one or both of respective conductor groups  210  and  220 , yet before a body component  460 ′ may be provided as a portion of connector subassembly  400 ′), cable support component  450 ′ may be positioned about a particular portion of cable subassembly  200  along its length, such as at a position P 7 ′ along cable subassembly  200  about an outer surface of cable subassembly  200  (e.g., cover  270  or jacket  260  if no cover  270  is provided). As shown in  FIGS. 35 and 41 , for example, position P 7 ′ may be spaced a distance ES′ from an end of cover  270  at cable end  204  (e.g., distance ES′ may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 0.90 millimeters and 1.10 millimeters or may be about 1.00 millimeters), and cable support component  450 ′ may include a base body  452 ′, which may be any suitable shape (e.g., disk shaped) with any suitable maximum cross-sectional outer width (e.g., a width similar to width SW of support component  450  of cable connector subassembly  400 ) and any suitable length (e.g., a length similar to length SL of support component  450  of cable connector subassembly  400 ) and any suitable thickness (e.g., a thickness similar to thickness ST of support component  450  of cable connector subassembly  400 ), and which may define a main opening  451 ′ having any suitable maximum cross-sectional width (e.g., a cross-sectional width similar to cross-sectional width SO of support component  450  of cable connector subassembly  400 ) that may be operative to surround and contact an outer surface of cable subassembly  200  (e.g., cover  270 ). A base body surface  452   s ′ of base body  452 ′ about main opening  451 ′ facing away from cable end  204  (e.g., facing the +X-direction and/or lying in an X-Y plane) may be operative to provide a rigid surface against which a portion of a collet may exert any suitable force for retaining second cable connector subassembly  400 ′ in a particular position with respect to remote subsystem  600  (e.g., retention mechanism  660  of  FIGS. 26-30 ). 
     As also shown in  FIGS. 35 and 41 , for example, cable support component  450 ′ may also include an extension body  454 ′ that may be coupled to base body  452 ′ at one extension end  453 ′ and that may extend away from base body  452 ′ to another extension end  455 ′ (e.g., generally in the +X-direction away from cable end  204  when component  450  is positioned about cable subassembly  200 ). Extension body  454 ′ may be any suitable shape and may extend any suitable length away from base body  452 ′ about cable subassembly  200  (e.g., a length similar to length XL of support component  450 ), and extension body  454 ′ may also define a portion of main opening  451 ′ having maximum cross-sectional width similar to that of base body  452 ′. However, as also shown (e.g., by the differences between  FIGS. 34 and 35 ), at least a portion of extension body  454 ′ may be mechanically deformed and/or compressed or crimped about cable subassembly  200  for fixing extension body  454 ′ and, thus, base body  452 ′ about cable subassembly  200  at a particular position (e.g., with respect to position P 7 ′), where such crimping of extension body  454 ′ may be operative to prevent cable support component  450 ′ from sliding along the length of cable subassembly  200  (e.g., along the X-axis) and/or from rotating about cable subassembly  200  (e.g., about axis A or the X-axis) during future use of cable subassembly  200  and connector subassembly  400 ′ (e.g., during retention of connector subassembly  400 ′ in a particular position with respect to remote subsystem  600 ). Moreover, as shown in  FIG. 41 , for example, insulation  230  and insulation  240  may extend a distance UD′ away from base body surface  452   s ′ of base body  452 ′ (e.g., distance UD′ may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 1.30 millimeters and 1.90 millimeters or may be about 1.60 millimeters), and first conductor group second end  214  and second conductor group second end  224  may extend a distance ND′ away from base body surface  452   s ′ of base body  452 ′ (e.g., distance ND′ may be any suitable magnitude in a range between 9.20 millimeters and 10.30 millimeters or may be about 9.70 millimeters). Cable support component  450 ′ may be made of any suitable material or combination of materials (e.g., stainless steel (e.g., SUS304 ½H or ¾H)) that may provide suitable rigidity (e.g., at base body surface  452   s ′) against which a portion of a collet may exert any suitable force for retaining second cable connector subassembly  400 ′ in a particular position with respect to remote subsystem  600 . 
     Once cable support component  450 ′ has been fixed (e.g., crimped) to cable subassembly  200  and once divider component  485 ′ has been positioned to promote division between first conductor group  210  and second conductor group  220  and once conductor contact  430 ′ has been electrically coupled (e.g., metal ultrasonically welded) to first conductor group  210  (e.g., once a coupling surface (e.g., a flat and/or bottom surface) of coupling portion  434 ′ of conductor contact  430 ′ has been coupled to a surface (e.g., a flat and/or top surface) of conductor coupling portion  217  of first conductor group  210 ) and once conductor contact  440 ′ has been electrically coupled (e.g., metal ultrasonically welded) to second conductor group  220  (e.g., once a coupling surface (e.g., a flat and/or top surface) of coupling portion  444 ′ of conductor contact  440 ′ has been coupled to a surface (e.g., a flat and/or bottom surface) of conductor coupling portion  227  of second conductor group  220 ) (e.g., as may be shown by  FIGS. 33-37, 42, and 43 , where the coupling surface of coupling portion  434 ′ and the coupling surface of coupling portion  444 ′ may lie in parallel or substantially parallel planes and/or may be separated from each other by the remainder of coupling portion  434 ′ and the remainder of coupling portion  444 ′), a body component  460 ′ of second cable connector subassembly  400 ′, which may be similar to body component  460  of cable connector subassembly  400 , may be provided for additional structure. For example, as shown in  FIG. 38 , body component  460 ′ may be provided to encompass a portion of conductor contact  430 ′ (e.g., coupling portion  434 ′), a portion of conductor contact  440 ′ (e.g., coupling portion  444 ′), and a portion of cable subassembly  200  (e.g., any portion of first conductor group  210  and/or second conductor group  220  and/or insulation subassembly  250  that may not be surrounded by jacket  260  and/or cover  270  at second cable end  204 ). Such provisioning of body component  460 ′ may be operative to protect and/or reinforce the electrical and mechanical coupling of conductor contact  430 ′ and first conductor group  210  (e.g., at coupling portion  434 ) and to protect and/or reinforce the electrical and mechanical coupling of conductor contact  440 ′ and second conductor group  220  (e.g., at coupling portion  444 ′), while still enabling at least a portion of conductor contact extension portion  433 ′ of conductor contact  430 ′ to be exposed for electrical coupling with device contact extension portion  414 ′, and while still enabling at least a portion of conductor contact extension portion  443 ′ of conductor contact  440 ′ to be exposed for electrical coupling with device contact extension portion  424 ′. For example, as shown in  FIG. 38 , a portion of conductor contact extension portion  433 ′ (e.g., conductor contact extension portion  433   a ′) may extend out from body component  460 ′ (e.g., in the +Y-direction) by any suitable distance (e.g., a distance similar to distance XD of cable connector subassembly  400 ) above a top shelf  461 ′ of body component  460 ′ for electrical coupling with device contact extension portion  414 ′, and a portion of conductor contact extension portion  443 ′ (e.g., conductor contact extension portion  443   a ′) may extend out from body component  460  (e.g., in the −Y-direction) by a distance that may be similar to distance XD below a bottom shelf  463 ′ of body component  460 ′ for electrical coupling with device contact extension portion  424 ′. In some embodiments, as shown in  FIG. 42 , for example, another portion of conductor contact extension portion  433 ′ (e.g., conductor contact extension portion  433   b ) may extend (e.g., in the −Y-direction) past first conductor group  210  and adjacent to divider component  485 ′ (e.g., conductor contact extension portion  433   b ′ may be configured to contact and/or abut and/or exert any suitable force on a surface portion of partition body  487 ′ at or proximate to second end  487   g ′) and/or another portion of conductor contact extension portion  443 ′ (e.g., conductor contact extension portion  443   b ′) may extend (e.g., in the +Y-direction) past second conductor group  220  and adjacent to divider component  485 ′ (e.g., conductor contact extension portion  443   b ′ may be configured to contact and/or abut and/or exert any suitable force on a surface portion of partition body  487 ′ at or proximate to second end  487   g ′). As shown in  FIG. 42 , for example, a distance DCC′ between a first plane that may be defined by or that may include at least a portion of conductor contact extension portion  433 ′ (e.g., a first X-Y plane) and a second plane that may be defined by or that may include at least a portion of conductor contact extension portion  443 ′ (e.g., a second X-Y plane) may be any suitable magnitude, such as in a range between 4.10 millimeters and 4.50 millimeters or may be about 4.30 millimeters. Additionally or alternatively, as shown in  FIG. 42 , for example, a minimum distance CDC′ between conductor contact  430 ′ and conductor contact  440 ′ (e.g., between a surface of coupling portion  434 ′ coupled to conductor group  210  and a surface of coupling portion  444 ′ coupled to conductor group  220 ) may be any suitable magnitude (e.g., in a range between 1.60 millimeters and 2.00 millimeters or may be about 1.80 millimeters). 
     Moreover, as described with respect to body component  460  of cable connector subassembly  400 , a portion of body component  460 ′ of cable connector subassembly  400 ′ may be operative to cover a portion of cable support component  450 ′ about cable subassembly  200  (e.g., the entirety of extension body  454 ′ and the majority of base body  452 ′ except for at least a portion of base body surface  452   s ′, which may be directly contacted by a collet for retaining a particular position of second cable connector subassembly  400 ′ with respect to remote subsystem  600  (e.g., retention mechanism  660  of  FIGS. 26-30 )), as well as any other suitable portion of cable subassembly  200  that may not be engaged by cable support component  450 ′ (e.g., a portion of cable subassembly  200  in the +X direction beyond another extension end  455 ′ of extension body  454 ′ of cable support component  450 ′). Such provisioning of body component  460 ′ about one or more portions of cable subassembly  200  (e.g., an end portion of first conductor group  210  and/or of second conductor group  220  and/or of insulation subassembly  250  and/or of cover  270  and/or of jacket  260  at second cable end  204 ) may be operative to protect and/or further insulate conductors  212  and  222  of cable subassembly  200 . 
     In some embodiments, as shown in  FIGS. 39 and 43 , once body component  460 ′ has been provided, a portion of conductor contact extension portion  433 ′ of conductor contact  430 ′ that may be extending out from body component  460 ′ may be electrically coupled to device contact  410 ′ (e.g., to device contact extension portion  414 ′ (e.g., via laser welding)) and a portion of conductor contact extension portion  443 ′ of conductor contact  440 ′ that may be extending out from body component  460 ′ may be electrically coupled to device contact  420 ′ (e.g., to device contact extension portion  424 ′ (e.g., via laser welding)). Device contact  410 ′ may include device contact extension portion  414 ′ of any suitable geometry, such as a regular cuboid with an outer surface  414   o ′ and an opposite inner surface that may interface with and be electrically coupled to an outer surface  433   o ′ of conductor contact extension portion  433 ′. Alternatively, although not shown, outer surface  414   o ′ of extension portion  414 ′ may interface with and be electrically coupled to an inner surface of conductor contact extension portion  433 ′. Device contact  410 ′ may also include female receptacle portion  413 ′ of any suitable geometry, such as a U-shaped component (e.g., similar to receptacle portion  413  of second cable connector subassembly  400 ), where a female receptacle space may be defined (e.g., for receiving and/or holding contact  620  of subsystem  600 ). Moreover, device contact  410 ′ may also include a curved or angled or bent arm  414   a ′ that may extend from a first arm end at extension portion  414 ′ to a second arm end at receptacle portion  413 ′. Device contact  420 ′ may be the same or substantially the same as device contact  410 ′, which may enable contacts  410 ′ and  420 ′ to be used interchangeably during assembly for ease of manufacture. For example, as shown, device contact  420 ′ may include device contact extension portion  424 ′ of any suitable geometry, such as a regular cuboid with an outer surface  424   o ′ and an opposite inner surface that may interface with and be electrically coupled to an outer surface of conductor contact extension portion  443 ′. Alternatively, although not shown, outer surface  424   o ′ of extension portion  414 ′ may interface with and be electrically coupled to an inner surface of conductor contact extension portion  443 ′. Device contact  420 ′ may also include female receptacle portion  423 ′ of any suitable geometry, such as a U-shaped component (e.g., similar to receptacle portion  423  of second cable connector subassembly  400 ), where a female receptacle space may be defined (e.g., for receiving and/or holding contact  620  of subsystem  600 ). Moreover, device contact  420 ′ may also include a curved or angled or bent arm that may extend from a first arm end at extension portion  424 ′ to a second arm end at receptacle portion  423 ′. 
     As shown in  FIGS. 37-39 , for example, device contacts  410 ′ and  420 ′, in conjunction with body component  460 ′ and conductor contacts  430 ′ and  440 ′, may provide a structure with geometry capable of communicating any suitable electrical signals according to various standards. Once body component  460 ′ has been provided and device contact  410 ′ has been electrically coupled to conductor contact  430 ′ (e.g., via one or more laser weld instances  439 ′ between conductor contact extension portion  433 ′ and extension portion  414 ′), a spacing (e.g., a spacing similar to spacing QS of cable connector subassembly  400 ) may be maintained between extension portion  414 ′ and body component  460 ′ (e.g., between a bottom of extension portion  414 ′ and top shelf  461 ′ of body component  460 ′). Another spacing (e.g., a spacing similar to spacing LS of cable connector subassembly  400 ) may be maintained between female receptacle portion  413 ′ and body component  460 ′. Body component  460 ′ of cable connector subassembly  400 ′ may provide a similar geometry and function to that of body component  460  of cable connector subassembly  400 . 
     In some embodiments, as shown in  FIG. 40 , once body component  460 ′ has been provided and once conductor contacts  430 ′ and  440 ′ have been electrically coupled to respective device contacts  410 ′ and  420 ′, an outer component  470 ′ of second cable connector subassembly  400 ′, which may be similar to outer component  470  of cable connector assembly  400 , may be provided for additional structure. For example, as shown, outer component  470 ′ may be operative to surround a portion of body component  460 ′ and abut another portion of body component  460 ′. Additionally, as shown, outer component  470 ′ may be operative to surround the entirety of device contacts  410 ′ and  420 ′ while still enabling device contacts  410 ′ and  420 ′ to be accessible for potential interaction with a remote subsystem. For example, outer component  470 ′ may be provided to include one or more suitable passages, such as passages  471 ′ and  472 ′ provided through a front wall  476 ′ of outer component  470 ′, for enabling female receptacle portions  413 ′ and  414 ′ to be accessible by remote subsystem  600  for potential interaction with respective contacts  610  and  620  (e.g., introduction of contact  610  into a female receptacle space of female receptacle portion  413 ′ via passage  471 ′ for electrically coupling contact  610  and contact  410 ′ and/or introduction of contact  620  into a female receptacle space of female receptacle portion  423 ′ via passage  472 ′ for electrically coupling contact  620  and contact  420 ′). Outer component  470 ′ of cable connector subassembly  400 ′ may provide a similar geometry and function to that of outer component  470  of cable connector subassembly  400 . 
     In some embodiments, once body component  460 ′ has been provided, a trim component (e.g., a trim component similar to trim component  490  of cable connector subassembly  400 ) may be provided for additional structure of cable connector subassembly  400 ′. For example, a trim component may be operative to extend along and about a portion of cable subassembly  200  and/or along and about a portion of body component  460 ′ (e.g., a mechanical feature  460   f  of body component  460 ′ (e.g., a nub or groove), as shown in  FIG. 40 , for example, may interact with a mechanical feature of the trim component (e.g., a groove or nub) for mechanically coupling the trim component to body component  460 ′ about cable subassembly  200 ). For example, the trim component may be configured as a snap ring for engaging body component  460 ′. Such a trim component may be configured to be removed from body component  460 ′ by an end user or by a manufacturer for any suitable purpose (e.g., to enable easier removal of cable connector subassembly  400 ′ from remote subsystem  600 ). 
     Body component  460 ′ and/or outer component  470 ′ of cable connector subassembly  400 ′ may be formed using any suitable material(s) using any suitable techniques. For example, component  460 ′ may be molded (e.g., injection molded) using any suitable material (e.g., a polycarbonate resin (e.g., Emerge™ PC 8600-10)), while component  470 ′ may be molded (e.g., molded and then coupled (e.g., ultrasonically welded) to body component  460 ′ or over molded onto body component  460 ′) using any suitable material (e.g., a polycarbonate resin (e.g., Emerge™ PC 8600-10)). Component  460 ′ may differ from component  470 ′ with respect to any suitable characteristic, such as size, shape, color, flexibility, deformability, tactility, ability to repel certain fluids, and/or the like. Alternatively, component  460 ′ and component  470 ′ may be formed from the same material. Additionally or alternatively, the manner(s) in which component  460 ′ may be formed may be the same as or different than the manner(s) in which component  470 ′ may be formed. In some embodiments, body component  460 ′ of cable connector subassembly  400 ′ may be formed similarly to how body component  460  of cable connector subassembly  400  may be formed. Additionally or alternatively, in some embodiments, outer component  470 ′ of cable connector subassembly  400 ′ may be formed similarly to how outer component  470  of cable connector subassembly  400  may be formed. 
     Therefore, cable connector subassembly  400 ′ may provide a cleanly defined subassembly for electrically coupling contacts  410 ′ and  420 ′ to respective conductor groups  210  and  220  while providing a reduced size connector for use with subsystem  600 . 
     In some embodiments, as shown in  FIGS. 44 and 45 , a receptacle  630 ′ of another device subsystem  600 ′, which may be similar to device subsystem  600 , may house at least a portion of a first contact (not shown) and at least a portion of a second contact  620 ′ positioned within a receptacle space  630   s ′ defined by receptacle  630 ′. Therefore, in such embodiments, a second cable connector subassembly  400 ″, which may be similar to subassembly  400  and/or subassembly  400 ′, and as may be coupled to cable subassembly  200  of a cable assembly  100 ″, may be at least partially inserted into receptacle  630 ′ (e.g., in the −X-direction from the position of  FIG. 44  through an opening of device subsystem  600 ′ and into receptacle space  630   s ′ of receptacle  630 ′ to the position of  FIG. 45 ), such that female receptacle spaces of subassembly  400 ″ (e.g., female receptacle spaces similar to female receptacle spaces  413   s  and  423   s  of subassembly  400  and/or to female receptacle spaces  413   s ′ and  423   s ′ of subassembly  400 ′) may receive a respective contact, including contact  620 ′, of subsystem  600 ′ for electrically coupling female receptacle portions of subassembly  400 ″ with contacts of subsystem  600 ′ of a system  1 ′. In order to retain cable assembly  100 ″ in the position of  FIG. 45  (e.g., the position in which connector subassembly  400 ″ may be electrically coupled to device subsystem  600 ′ within receptacle space  630   s ′), a retention mechanism  660 ′ may be provided by device subsystem  600 ′ for interacting with subassembly  400 ″ to retain cable assembly  100 ″ at that position. 
     Retention mechanism  660 ′ may be any suitable mechanism that may be operative to prevent connector subassembly  400 ″ from being withdrawn from receptacle space  630   s ′ (e.g., in the +X-direction) despite forces of a certain magnitude attempting to pull connector subassembly  400 ″ out from receptacle space  630   s ′ (e.g., retention mechanism  660 ′ may be operative to withstand any suitable forces (e.g., forces of 120 Newton or in the range of between 60 Newton and 800 Newton or up to or beyond 1075 Newton) that may be applied to connector subassembly  400 ′ in the +X-direction for retaining subassembly  400 ″ within receptacle space  630   s ′). Retention mechanism  660 ′ may be physically distinct from and/or electrically insulated from each contact of device subsystem  600 ′ (e.g., from contact  620 ′). In some embodiments, as shown in  FIGS. 44 and 45 , for example, retention mechanism  660 ′ may be provided as a flexible retention arm or any other suitable device. Retention mechanism  660 ′ may be described as a flexible retention arm mechanism with at least one retention arm that may extend from a first end that may be physically coupled to receptacle  630 ′ or any other suitable portion of device subsystem  600 ′ to a second free end that may be operative to interact with a feature of subassembly  400 ″ for capturing and holding subassembly  400 ″ in the position of  FIG. 45 . For example, as shown, retention mechanism  660 ′ may include at least a first retention arm  680 ′ that may extend from a first end  681 ′ that may be coupled to receptacle  630 ′ to a second free end  682 ′ that may be operative to interact with a retainable feature  492 ″ of subassembly  400 ″ (e.g., within a pocket  650 ′ that may be similar to pocket  650  of subsystem  600 ). Retainable feature  492 ″ may be a bump or any other suitable feature that may be reciprocal to (e.g., operative to snap into) a feature of device retention mechanism  660 ′, where retainable feature  492 ″ may extend from or define any suitable exterior surface portion of subassembly  400 ″ (e.g., a portion of a body component  460 ″ that may be similar to body component  460  and/or body component  460 ′ and/or a portion of a cable support component  450 ″ that may be similar to cable support component  450  and/or cable support component  450 ′ (e.g., retainable feature  492 ″ may be similar to base body  452  (e.g., base body surface  452   s  may provide at least a portion of retainable feature  492 ″)) and/or a portion of an outer component  470 ″ that may be similar to outer component  470  and/or outer component  470 ′). Additionally, in some embodiments, as shown, retention mechanism  660 ′ may include a second retention arm  684 ′ that may extend from a first end  685 ′ that may be coupled to receptacle  630 ′ to a second free end  686 ′ that may be operative to interact with a retainable feature  494 ″ of subassembly  400 ″ (e.g., within pocket  650 ′ that may be similar to pocket  650  of subsystem  600 ). Retainable feature  494 ″ may be a bump or any other suitable feature that may be reciprocal to (e.g., operative to snap into) a feature of device retention mechanism  660 ′, where retainable feature  494 ″ may extend from or define any suitable exterior surface portion of subassembly  400 ″ (e.g., a portion of body component  460 ″ that may be similar to body component  460  and/or body component  460 ′ and/or a portion of cable support component  450 ″ that may be similar to cable support component  450  and/or cable support component  450 ′ (e.g., retainable feature  494 ″ may be similar to base body  452  (e.g., base body surface  452   s  may provide at least a portion of retainable feature  494 ″)) and/or a portion of outer component  470 ″ that may be similar to outer component  470  and/or outer component  470 ′). In some embodiments, retention arm  682 ′ and retention arm  684 ′ may be distinct features for providing distinct free ends  682 ′ and  686 ′ (e.g., on opposite sides of receptacle space  630   s ′), where retention mechanism  660 ′ may include any suitable number (e.g., 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, 20, 36, or the like) of such distinct retention arms at any suitable orientations about receptacle space  630   s ′ that may interact with one or more distinct retainable features of subassembly  400 ″. Alternatively, retention arm  682 ′ and retention arm  684 ′ may be different portions of a single integral feature for providing a single integral free end including free ends  682 ′ and  686 ′ that may interact with one or more distinct retainable features of subassembly  400 ″. For example, retention arm  682 ′ and retention arm  684 ′ may be different portions of a single integral ring-shape (e.g., annular) feature extending about a portion or all of receptacle space  630   s ′ and, thus, subassembly  400 ″. Similarly, retainable feature  492 ″ and retainable feature  494 ″ may be distinct features for providing distinct elements that may interact with (e.g., snap into) be retained by one or more distinct free ends of retention mechanism  660 ′. Alternatively, retainable feature  492 ″ and retainable feature  494 ″ may be different portions of a single integral feature for providing a single integral retainable feature that may interact with (e.g., snap into) and be retained by one or more distinct free ends of one or more distinct retention arms of retention mechanism  660 ′. For example, retainable feature  492 ″ and retainable feature  494 ″ may be different portions of a single integral ring-shape (e.g., annular) feature extending about a portion or all of subassembly  400 ″ (e.g., as shown in  FIG. 44 , retainable feature  492 ″ and retainable feature  494 ″ may be provided by a single ring-shape retainable feature  496 ″ that may extend about at least a portion of body component  460 ″ (e.g., about the longitudinal axis of assembly  100 ″) and/or define a portion of the outer surface of body component  460 ″). Retainable feature  492 ″ and/or retainable feature  494 ″ and/or retainable feature  496 ″ may be electrically isolated or insulated from each conductor group of cable subassembly  200  by insulation subassembly  250  and/or jacket  260  and/or cover  270  and/or body component  460 ″ and/or outer component  470 ″. One or more retainable features (e.g., retainable feature  492 ″ and/or retainable feature  494 ′) may be metal (e.g., a portion of cable support component  450 ″) or may be a portion of body  460 ″ or a bump or groove and separate metal spring that may shaped in the form of a ring in the groove to act as the bump or may be a portion of outer component  470 ″. Therefore, retention mechanism  660 ′ may enable at least a semi-permanent connection between cable connector subassembly  400 ″ and device subsystem  600 ′, which may be configured so as not to be broken by an end user of system  1 ′. In some embodiments, a trim component  490 ″ of subassembly  400 ″ may be operative to interface with (e.g., snap into or be glued to or be press-fitted against) an exterior surface  632 ′ of receptacle  630 ′ or of any external portion of device subsystem  600 ′, where such an interface between trim component  490 ″ and exterior surface  632 ′ may be operative to block or otherwise make inaccessible (e.g., by an end user) receptacle space  630   s ′ or any other opening that may be used by a manufacturer or other suitable entity to introduce a tool for manipulating retention mechanism  660 ′ and/or subassembly  400 ″ for releasing subassembly  400 ″ from mechanism  660 ′. Alternatively, subassembly  400 ″ may be pulled out from mechanism  660 ′ with a force great enough to overcome a snap retention force. 
     While there have been described cable assemblies, systems, and methods for making the same, it is to be understood that many changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the subject matter described herein in any way. Insubstantial changes from the claimed subject matter as viewed by a person with ordinary skill in the art, now known or later devised, are expressly contemplated as being equivalently within the scope of the claims. Therefore, obvious substitutions now or later known to one with ordinary skill in the art are defined to be within the scope of the defined elements. It is also to be understood that various directional and orientational terms, such as “up” and “down,” “front” and “back,” “exterior” and “interior,” “top” and “bottom” and “side,” “length” and “width” and “depth,” “thickness” and “diameter” and “cross-section” and “longitudinal,” “X-” and “Y-” and “Z-,” and the like may be used herein only for convenience, and that no fixed or absolute directional or orientational limitations are intended by the use of these words. 
     Therefore, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the invention can be practiced by other than the described embodiments, which are presented for purposes of illustration rather than of limitation.
