Coupled building wire
The coupled building wire of the present invention comprises a first length of non-metallic cable having a top surface and a bottom surface and a second length non-metallic cable having a top surface and a bottom surface, wherein the bottom surface of the first length of non-metallic cable is coupled to the top surface of the second length of non-metallic cable. The first length of non-metallic cable comprises at least one circuit conductor having a first gauge. The second length of non-metallic cable comprises at least one circuit conductor having a second gauge. The first gauge of the at least one circuit conductor of the first length of non-metallic cable may be substantially equal or unequal to the second gauge of the at least one circuit conductor of the second length of non-metallic cable.
1 . A coupled building wire comprising:
a first length of non-metallic cable having a top surface and a bottom surface;
a second length non-metallic cable having a top surface and a bottom surface;
wherein the bottom surface of the first length of non-metallic cable is coupled to the top surface of the second length of non-metallic cable.
2 . A coupled building wire as defined in claim 1 wherein the first length of non-metallic cable comprises at least one circuit conductor having a first gauge and the second length of non-metallic cable comprises at least one circuit conductor having a second gauge, and wherein the first gauge of the at least one circuit conductor of the first length of non-metallic cable is substantially equal to the second gauge of the at least one circuit conductor of the second length of non-metallic cable.
3 . A coupled building wire as defined in claim 1 wherein the first length of non-metallic cable comprises at least one circuit conductor having a first gauge and the second length of non-metallic cable comprises at least one circuit conductor having a second gauge, and wherein the first gauge of the at least one circuit conductor of the first length of non-metallic cable is unequal to the second gauge of the at least one circuit conductor of the second length of non-metallic cable.
4 . A coupled building wire as defined in claim 1 wherein the bottom surface of the first length of non-metallic cable is coupled to the top surface of the second length of non-metallic cable by materials selected from the group consisting essentially of cementations material, glue, webbing material, heat-shrinkable material, material having complimentary parts which adhere to each other when pressed together, self-locking threaded fasteners, adhesive material, double-sided tape, adhesive polymeric strip, binding strip, welding, and combinations thereof.
5 . A coupled building wire as defined in claim 4 wherein the binding strip is constructed of mylar, polyester, string, and combinations thereof.
6 . A coupled building wire as defined in claim 4 wherein the welding is hot-air welding, ultrasonic welding, solvent welding, and combinations thereof.
