Abstract
A seamless flat-round conductive cable is adapted for use in a retractable cord reel having a spool on which a round portion of the cable is wound and a cable expansion chamber in which a flat portion of the cable is disposed. The cable has a plurality of seamless conductive members, each of which may include an inner conductor and an outer insulating layer. The cable includes a first cable portion with a substantially flat configuration and a second cable portion with a substantially round configuration. The first cable portion includes a plurality of conductive members which are held together in a substantially flat configuration by, alternatively, bonding, jacketing or weaving the conductive members together. The second cable portion includes a plurality of conductive members, each of which is seamlessly connected to i.e., integral with, the respective conductive members of the first cable portion. The conductive members of the second portion are preferably twisted to form a substantially round configuration.
