Abstract:
A multi-member cable includes at least a first cable element and a second cable element. The first and second cable elements twist around a center axis of the cable in a counterclockwise direction multiple times to a first reversal point, then twist about the center axis of the cable in a clockwise direction multiple times until a second reversal point, with this pattern repeating along a length of the cable. Adhesion points are formed at intervals along a length of the cable to connect the first and second cable elements. The adhesion points may be spaced apart at an interval equal to a distance between the first and second reversal points. An outer surface of a jacket of the cable may include indications at the first and/or second reversal points, such as physical bumps or markings.
