Abstract
A cable incorporates at least one flexible conductor and a non-conductive, elongated, strain relieving member bound mechanically to the conductor. The strain relieving member is mechanically attached between two relatively movable components. The electrical conductor is in turn electrically attached to contacts on the components. Movement of the components relative to one another will be limited by the strain relieving member thereby protecting a somewhat longer electrical conductor extending therebetween. Alternately, a plurality of conductors can be integrally combined with the elongated strain relieving member, by braiding or twisting, to form a unitary cable which incorporates the strain relieving member. In this configuration, all of the conductors in the cable are mechanically protected by the strain relieving element.
