Abstract
A thin format crush resistant electrical cable that includes at least one bundle, having each bundle comprising a central conductor, an insulator that encapsulates the central conductor, a shielding that encapsulates the insulator, and a jacket that encapsulates the shielding wherein the jacket is crush resistant and thin format in cross section wherein a height of the jacket is smaller than a width of the jacket in cross-section and which enables a small bending radius. One or more embodiments include a small coaxial cable with width less than the jacket height in which the coaxial cable resides. Additional form fitting elements may be utilized as one or more additional bundles to provide for direction changes of the cable that may be implemented by bending the cable wherein the form fitting elements or wires maintain the form desired. The additional bundles may be conductive wire in any geometry.
