Abstract
A cable is provided including an inner member, an outer member and an intermediate member. The intermediate member may be positioned between the inner member and the outer member and include a number of disconnection sections spaced apart from one another. In some cases, the cable may include two or more inner members. In addition, a method for preparing an end of a cable may be provided, including the steps of removing a portion of an outer member of the cable and applying a tensile force to an intermediate member of the cable comprising a plurality of disconnection sections. The intermediate member of the cable may be sheared at one of the plurality of disconnection sections, thereby exposing a portion of an inner member of the cable.
