    Abstract: A cable can include a cable core surrounded by an outer sleeve having a uniform thickness and further having a first longitudinal section having a first stiffness (e.g., corresponding to a flexible cable), a second longitudinal section having a second stiffness (e.g., corresponding to a rigid cable), and a third longitudinal section between the first and second longitudinal sections, where the second stiffness is greater than the first stiffness and where a stiffness of the third longitudinal section varies between the first stiffness and the second stiffness. The second longitudinal section can provide strain relief for the cable.

    Abstract: Cable structures with localized foam strain reliefs and systems and methods for making the same are provided. In some embodiments, at least one localized foam strain relief may be incorporated into or positioned underneath a cover of a cable structure. For example, the ratio of base material to foam material may be varied during the manufacture of the cover, such that distinct portions of the cover may include more foam than other portions of the cover. This may provide localized strain relief properties to the cable structure while also obviating the need for additional strain relief components to be provided adjacent to or over specific portions of the cover.

    Abstract: Cable structures with multi-material extruded strain reliefs and systems and methods for making the same are provided. In some embodiments, a cable structure may include at least two materials simultaneously extruded through a die and about a conductor. A relationship between the two materials may be changed during the simultaneous extrusion for varying the stiffness of the cable structure, which may thereby provide a strain relief region to the cable structure. One of the two materials may be stiffer than another of the two materials, and the ratio of the amount or thickness of one of the two materials with respect to the amount or thickness of the other of the two materials may be varied during the extrusion process to vary the stiffness of the cable structure along its length for providing the strain relief region.
