Abstract

A molded cable and a method of production which generally consists of a plurality of conductors and a plastic like material interlaced with the conductors in a woven pattern to hold and secure the conductors in a spaced relationship. The woven pattern of plastic like material is typically formed by an injection molding process. The cable can have a plurality of conductors generally labeled as a first conductor, second conductor, and continuing to a last conductor held in spaced relationship with each other and each of the conductors have a beginning end and a terminating end. A narrow strip of the plastic like compound forms a beginning base around the conductors, then it is woven over the first conductor, under the second conductor, over the third conductor and continuing in this woven pattern until the last conductor is included. Then around the last conductor and woven back over the conductors in the opposite manner to the first conductor weaving the conductors together in a spaced relationship This woven pattern is repeated to an ending position and forming an ending base around the conductors near the ending position.
