Abstract
A twisted cable assembly and a method of making the same. The cable assembly comprises first and second spaced apart end spools and a continuous length of wire. The wire is looped around and extends between the end spools, and sections of the wire between the end spools are twisted into a composite strand. With one embodiment, an elongated malleable wire also is connected to and extends between the end spools to hold the cable assembly selectively in a range of curved positions. With an alternate embodiment, a stiffening wire is connected to and extends between the end spools to inhibit bending of the cable assembly.
