20080217044 | COUPLED BUILDING WIRE ASSEMBLY - A coupled building wire assembly is provided wherein more than one length of NM cable having the same or different gauges are coupled together that permits one to pull multiple lengths of cable from a single coil. The exterior surfaces of the coupled building wire assembly is also coated with a lubricant or has its outer sheaths incorporating the sufficient lubricant, which either migrates to the sheaths' surfaces or permeates such sheaths. | 09-11-2008 |
20100000784 | METHOD OF MANUFACTURING ELECTRICAL CABLE HAVING REDUCED REQUIRED FORCE FOR INSTALLATION - Disclosed is a method of manufacturing a finished cable by a process directed to reduce the amount of force required to install the cable. The process involves the extrusion of the cable's outer sheath and the incorporation of a pulling lubricant in connection with, and prior to the completion of, the extrusion to reduce the sheath's surface coefficient of friction as well as reduce the required force to pull the cable for installation. The conductor core is coated with an extruded plastic material with which an appropriate (in amount and type) pulling lubricant is initially combined with the plastic material prior to the formation of the sheath and in which the sheathed conductor core is thereafter cooled, the lubricant either migrating to and/or permeating the sheath to be available at the surface of the sheath at the time of the cable's installation. The preselected lubricant is disclosed as either combined with the plastic material during initial pelletization, or mixed with the plastic pellets prior to introduction of the mixture into the extruding head, or introduced into the extruding head at a separate location downstream from where the plastic material is introduced into the extruding head. | 01-07-2010 |
20100101821 | METAL-CLAD CABLE WITH FORAMINOUS CODED LABEL - A metal-clad cable having a plurality of spaced apart labels. The labels have coded information about the cable and are conductive and/or include a plurality of openings so as to assure conductivity between an outer sheath of the metal-clad cable and a terminating assembly connector member coupled thereto. | 04-29-2010 |
20100314148 | FLEXIBLE CABLE WITH STRUCTURALLY ENHANCED OUTER SHEATH - A flexible cable including an outer sheath having an inner surface, the inner surface forming a channel to receive at least one conductor and a support member. At least one conductor and support member are positioned within the channel to substantially resist deformation of the outer sheath. | 12-16-2010 |
20110017489 | ELECTRICAL CABLE WITH FORAMINOUS LABEL - Embodiments provided herein include an electrical cable of the type that is of the type to have a connector member coupled thereto. The electrical cable includes a conductive outer sheath and a label disposed on the conductive outer sheath, the label having information about the cable and having at least one conductive region to facilitate electrical conductivity between the conductive outer sheath and the connector member. | 01-27-2011 |
