Zusammenfassung:(1) Field of the Invention A cable sectional assembly houses an electrically concatenated series of electronic circuit modules and has electric hook-up media interspersed between the modules. Each run of interspersed hook-up media is surrounded by a flexible tubular member, which is oversized to allow movement of the hook-up media without restriction under flexing of the assembly. The assembly is a construction and arrangement of two forms of moldingly bonded encapsulations. The first of these forms is made of a hard encapsulant and forms a unitary encapsulation local to each electronic module which (i) encapsulates the circuit module and associated electrical coupling connections between the adjacent end of each individual run of an adjacent interspersed run of media and an electrical terminal of the module, and (ii) is securely bonded to the adjacent marginal end portions of the tubular members which surround the adjacent interspersed runs of hook-up media. The second form is an overmolded annular encapsulation made of a softer flexible encapsulant which fills the annular spaces between the encapsulations of the first form, and which is securely moldingly bonded to the midportion of the tubular member and the adjacent lateral surfaces of the encapsulations of the first form. Both the first and second forms of encapsulations are made of cool curing types of encapsulants.
