1. A method for manufacturing a cable having one or more internal components, the method comprising the steps of:

  • surrounding the one or more internal components with a compressible inner jacket layer, the one or more internal components comprising at least one electrical conductor configured to propagate a signal; and

    surrounding the compressible inner jacket layer with an outer jacket layer, wherein the compressible inner jacket layer is less rigid than the outer jacket layer, wherein a relative pliability of the compressible inner jacket layer with respect to the outer jacket layer reduces an amount of insertion force required to fully insert a post of a cable connector underneath the compressible inner jacket layer and the outer jacket layer, and wherein a portion of the compressible inner jacket layer is configured to be compressed when the post of the cable connector is fully inserted underneath the compressible inner jacket layer and the outer jacket layer.
