ABSTRACT:
A composite ribbon coupling cable includes a plurality of elongated strengthening elements made of a resilient springy material, a plurality of elongated communications elements disposed in alternating spaced apart relation with the elongated strengthening elements, an inner jacket of insulative material encapsulating the alternating strengthening elements and communications elements therewithin so as to dispose the encapsulated elements in a substantially common plane providing a substantially flat ribbon configuration, and an outer jacket of resilient wear-resistant protective material encapsulating the inner jacket of insulative material. The strengthening elements preferably are elongated bands of a spring metal whereas the communications elements preferably have fiber optic cores or copper cores. The inner jacket includes a pair of inner flat layers of insulative material disposed along and adhered to opposite sides of the alternating strengthening elements and communications elements. The outer jacket includes a pair of outer flat layers of wear-resistant protective material each disposed along and adhered to an outer surface of one of the inner flat layers of the inner jacket of insulative material.
