Abstract
Foamed wire harnesses are provided with a jacket to protect the wires. The jackets are formed with convoluted structure to center the wires during foaming. The indented portions are spaced by full-sized portions. Also, the indented portions are noncontinuous in a circumferential direction. The non-indented portions provide protection to the encased wires by preventing movement of sheet metal or other components into the convoluted areas.
