Abstract
A cable and connector system comprises a cable having a plurality of conductors for carrying electric current. The conductors are surrounded by a plurality of aramid fiber tension members that carry tensile loads that are applied to the cable. The conductors and tension members are wrapped with an aramid fiber armor tape. The armor tape protects the bundle from crushing loads and penetration by sharp objects. A connector is provided at each end of the cable whereby the tension members of the cable may be fixedly attached to the connector such that the tensile loads carried by the tension members are directly transmitted to the connector and are not transmitted to the conductors.
