Abstract: A ribbon cable includes: a plurality of elongate signal-carrying members, the plurality of signal-carrying members arranged in a generally planar configuration; and a jacket that surrounds the signal-carrying members, the jacket having first and second opposed side edges. Each of the first and second side edges includes interlocking features configured to interlock with an adjacent ribbon cable with interlocking features. First and second ribbon cables can be formed into a chain, in which the interlocking features of the first side edge of the first ribbon cable are interlocked with the interlocking features of the second side edge of the second ribbon cable to form the chain. An assembly may include a structural member and a chain of ribbon cables as described above. In some embodiments, the structural member is a pole (such as the leg of an antenna tower), and the chain of ribbon cables entirely encircles the pole.
