Abstract
A method and apparatus of reinforcing a cable includes wrapping a flexible wire around at least a portion of an external surface of the cable, and soldering the flexible wire to the cable, thereby positioning the flexible wire with respect to the cable. The portion of the external surface of the cable wrapped with the flexible wire may be disposed between the cable and a connector, or represent an entire length of the cable. Wrapping the flexible wire may involve wrapping the flexible wire around a portion of the external surface of the cable such that coils of the flexible wire are disposed apart from each other, and sliding the coils together such that the coils of the flexible wire are touching each other.
