More Information
Summary:A flexible cable sheath includes an outer sleeve, an inner sleeve, and a flexible cable passing through the inner sleeve. The outer sleeve has a plurality of individual segments which are coupled to bend and have limited axial separation. By tensioning the inner sleeve relative to the outer sleeve, the resulting assembly has improved dimensional stability and torsional rigidity.
