Abstract
Systems and methods presented herein provide for elastomeric and flexible cables. One cable includes a first insulator extruded as a tube. The cable also includes an elastomeric conductor comprising conductive particles embedded in a polymer. The elastomeric conductor is extruded with the elastomeric insulator through a conduit of the tube. Other cables include flexible wires extruded with elastomeric tubes. In some embodiments, the cables are configured with stay cords that limit a length of stretching in the cable.
