Abstract
The present invention is a connecting web for side-by-side cables that eliminates the need for the use of slitting tools. The present invention includes a first elongate cable, a second elongate cable in parallel spaced apart relation from said first elongate cable and a connecting web between the first elongate cable and the second elongate cable. The connecting web is connected to the first elongate cable along a first surface and to the second elongate cable along a second surface and is capable of being pulled away from the first elongate cable or the second elongate cable without leaving a residue of the connecting web on either cable that will prevent a connector or bulkhead grommet from properly sealing around the cables. Thus, the connecting web can be removed without damaging the cables to provide good connectorization between the side-by-side cables and other cables.
