Abstract
A cable with a ripcord disposed in the webbed connection portion between the messenger portion and the communications portion of the cable, the ripcord allowing for easy separation of the messenger portion from the communications portion of the cable. The figure-8 cable with a ripcord allows for doing away with or minimizing the need to access the cable with pocket knives, box cutters, razor blades, scalpels and other tools of dangerous implementation, all of which enjoy various levels of imprecise results. The connection portion may have an internal or external weakened section to facilitate the separation.
