Принадлежит: Individual

A method for coupling ends of two insulated conductors includes coupling an end portion of a core of a first insulated conductor to an end portion of a core of a second insulated conductor. At least a part of the end portions of the cores are at least partially exposed. Electrically insulating material is placed over the exposed portions of the cores. An inner sleeve is placed over end portions of the two insulated conductors to be coupled. An outer sleeve is placed over the inner sleeve. There is an open volume between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve. The inner sleeve and the outer sleeve are coupled to jackets of the insulated conductors. A pressurized fluid is provided into the open volume between the inner sleeve and the outer sleeve to compress the inner sleeve into the electrically insulating material and compact the electrically insulating material.

The present invention relates to a method for removing a shielding foil (K) of an electrical cable (Ka) with a longitudinal axis (L), which cable has, going out from the longitudinal axis outward, an inner conductor (K), a dielectric (K), the shielding foil (K) and an insulating sheath (K), comprising the following steps: 1. Method for removing a shielding foil of an electrical cable with a longitudinal axis (L) , which cable has , going out from the longitudinal axis outward , at least one inner conductor , a dielectric , the shielding foil and an insulating sheath , comprising the following steps:a. Creating an incision of a first depth in the insulating sheath of the electrical cable, whereby the first depth is smaller than or the same as a thickness of the insulating sheath;b. Creating a predetermined breaking point in the shielding foil through pressing in of at least one radially adjustable perforation tool through the incision produced in step a. until the perforation tool has reached a second depth, wherein the second depth corresponds to at least the thickness of the insulating sheath plus at least half of a thickness of the shielding foilc. Tearing the shielding foil at the predetermined breaking point; andd. Removing the shielding foil.2. Method according to claim 1 , wherein between the steps b. and c. or between the steps c. and d. the perforation tool is put back in a position outside of the insulating sheath.3. Method according to claim 1 , wherein between steps a. and b. claim 1 , the insulating sheath is partially or completely removed.4. Method according to claim 1 , wherein the shielding foil comprises metal and the perforation tool is connected to means for detection of a contact with an electrically conductive object claim 1 , and wherein the pressing in of the perforation tool is stopped as soon as a contact of the perforation tool with the shielding foil is detected.5. Method according to claim 1 , wherein the cable has a shielding braid ...

Embodiments of the present invention provide an improved cable assembly for connecting an electrical test and measurement probe to a device under test. One end of the probe is connected to a device under test (“DUT”), while the other end is connected to the instrument through one or more cables. To prevent mechanical stresses to the probe-DUT interface caused by the cables' resistance to bending and twisting, embodiments of the improved cable assembly use one or more pliable spines to hold the cable assembly in position after it has been bent or twisted. This provides a more secure connection to the DUT and prevents damage to the probe-DUT interface. Each spine is anchored to the tip of the probe, and may be further secured by an outer housing or additional anchors. A flexible boot may surround the cable assembly and/or outer housing, further protecting the cables from damage. Alternatively, one or more spines may be placed inside the boot. 1. A cable assembly for an electrical test probe , comprising:one or more signal cables; anda pliable spine proximate to the one or more signal cables.2. The cable assembly of claim 1 , further comprising an anchor that connects the pliable spine to a probe tip.3. The cable assembly of claim 2 , wherein the anchor is a first anchor and the pliable spine comprises one or more second anchors that limit the motion of the one or more signal cables with respect to the pliable spine.4. The cable assembly of claim 2 , wherein the anchor consists of a U-shaped portion of the pliable spine that is received by the probe tip.5. The cable assembly of claim 2 , wherein the anchor consists of an L-shaped portion of the pliable spine that is received by the probe tip.6. The cable assembly of claim 1 , wherein a first end of the cable assembly is connected to the probe tip claim 1 , and a second end of the cable assembly is connected to an instrument cable.7. The cable assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a flexible housing that secures the ...
