Abstract:
A furcation assembly for electrical conductors of an electro-optical cable with electrical conductors and optical conductors has an inner tube surrounded by a metallic shield layer and a polymer jacket surrounding the metallic shield layer. The inner tube may have a circular or a generally ovaloid cross section inner diameter. A transition housing may be applied over an interconnection between the metallic shield layer and a metallic shield of the electro-optical cable. A pull strand may be provided in the inner tube inner diameter, for ease of insertion of the electrical conductors and/or additional water proofing characteristics.
