A method of production provides a plurality of conductors and a plastic-like material interlaced with the conducts in a woven pattern to hold and secure the conductors in a spaced relationship. The woven pattern of plastic-like material is formed by an injection molding process. The cable can have a plurality of conductors generally labeled as a first conductor, second conductor, and continuing to a last conductor held in a spaced relationship with each other, and each of the conductors has a beginning end and a terminating end. A narrow strip of the plastic-like compound forms a beginning base around the conductors, then it is woven over the first conductor, under the second conductor, over the third conductor ad continues in this woven pattern until the last conductor is included. Then the strip continues around the last conductor and is woven over the conductors in the opposite manner back to the first conductor, weaving the conductors together in a spaced relationship. This woven pattern is repeated to an ending position and there forms an ending base around the conductors near the ending position.

Method of producing a molded woven cable

A molded cable comprises a plurality of conductors and a webbed conductor harness. The webbed harness has openings formed by intersecting strands, the strands including channels therethrough for the conductors. The webbed harness can be made in combination with the conductors or with a preform to form the channels. The preform can then be replaced by the conductors to form the molded cabling.

Molded cabling, preform for making and method of making

A molded cable and a method of production which generally consists of a plurality of conductors and a plastic like material interlaced with the conductors in a woven pattern to hold and secure the conductors in a spaced relationship. The woven pattern of plastic like material is typically formed by an injection molding process. The cable can have a plurality of conductors generally labeled as a first conductor, second conductor, and continuing to a last conductor held in spaced relationship with each other and each of the conductors have a beginning end and a terminating end.

Then around the last conductor and woven back over the conductors in the opposite manner to the first conductor weaving the conductors together in a spaced relationship This woven pattern is repeated to an ending position and forming an ending base around the conductors near the ending position.

A dual durometer ribbon generally consisting of a preform and cover, typically formed by an injection molding process. The preform has a low durometer midsection and a plurality of high durometer ends. The high durometer ends are attached to the low durometer midsection at narrow blend areas where the high durometer material blends with the low durometer material. A plurality of printed circuit termination boards rests within recesses located on the top surface of each of the high durometer ends. The recesses are of uniform depth and have an outer border of uniform thickness. The printed circuit termination boards typically have slotted through holes at a receptacle end of the printed circuit board and female connectors are located on one of the surfaces of the printed circuit boards. A plurality of conductors rest within groves contained on the low durometer midsection. The conductors are terminate at the through holes in the printed circuit termination board. The cover is adhesively attached to the top surface of the preform covering the grooves containing the conductors and the recesses containing the printed circuit termination boards.
