Abstract

A cable system including device connectors connected to electropneumatic valves and electrical sensors at predetermined positions along a path on a common manifold and a wiring harness having a length sufficient to transverse the path. The wiring harness includes a plurality of insulated wires in a common sheath and selectively connected to harness connectors which are mounted at predetermined positions to the harness and mate with a corresponding device connector. The path is a closed loop and the wiring harness forms a corresponding closed loop. The majority of the wires in the wiring harness form the corresponding close loop.
