Abstract

An automotive cable assembly for mechanically linking a first mechanical system to a second mechanical system for facilitating a transfer of tension loadings there-between, the cable assembly having a multi-stranded polymer-based core element having a first polymer based end fitting at a first end and a second polymer based end fitting at a second end such that the first polymer based end fitting is for retaining a coupling to the first mechanical component of the first end and the second polymer based end fitting is for retaining coupling to the second mechanical component at the second end during the transfer of tension loading. The first mechanical system can be a door latch, the first mechanical component a latch lever, the second mechanical system a door handle/remote and the second mechanical component a door lever. The first mechanical system can be a window motor, the first mechanical component a motor lever, the second mechanical system a window regulator lifter assembly and the second mechanical component a window lifter plate. Also provided are different manufacturing techniques for forming the end fittings.
