Cable assembly

1. A cable assembly including:

a first cable, wherein the first cable defines an inner channel;

a second cable slidably disposed in the inner channel; and

wherein the second cable includes a generally non-circular polygonal cross-sectional shape;

wherein the first cable includes a generally circular cross-sectional shape;

a first end of the second cable;

a first connector secured to the first end of the second cable;

a sheath enclosing the first end of the second cable; and

wherein the first end of the second cable slidably moves within the sheath.

2. The cable assembly of claim 1 , further including a lubrication material disposed in the inner channel.

3. The cable assembly of claim 1 , wherein the polygonal cross-sectional shape is one of a hexagon shape and a decagon shape.

4. The cable assembly of claim 3 ,

wherein the first cable further includes a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer;

wherein the second cable further includes a fourth layer and a fifth layer;

wherein the first layer, third layer, and fourth layer is made from a polymeric material; and

wherein the second layer and fifth layer is made from a steel material.

5. The cable assembly of claim 4 , wherein the fifth layer is a 1×19 swaged cable.

6. The cable assembly of claim 5 , further comprising a second connector disposed proximate a second end of the cable assembly and wherein the first connector is disposed proximate a first end of the cable assembly.

7. The cable assembly of claim 6 , wherein the first cable includes a first length, wherein the second cable includes a second length, and wherein the first length is shorter than the second length.

8. The cable assembly of claim 1 , in combination with a vehicle including a throttle assembly and an engine assembly, the combination comprising:

a first end of the cable assembly coupled with the throttle assembly; and

a second end of the cable assembly coupled with the engine assembly.

9. The combination of claim 8 , wherein the vehicle is a boat.

10. A method for forming a cable assembly, the method comprising the steps of:

forming an inner channel inside a first cable, wherein the inner channel includes a generally circular cross-sectional shape;

disposing a second cable having a non-circular polygonal cross-sectional shape inside the inner channel;

wherein the second cable includes one of a hexagonal cross-sectional shape and a decagonal cross-sectional shape; and

sliding the second cable in the inner channel.

11. The method of claim 10 , further comprising the step of depositing a lubrication material between the first cable and the second cable.

12. The method of claim 10 , further comprising the step of forming the first cable and the second cable in different lengths.

13. The method of claim 10 , further comprising the steps of:

forming a first portion of the first cable with a polymeric material;

forming a second portion of the second cable with the polymeric material; and

abutting the first portion with the second portion.

14. The method of claim 13 , further comprising the step of surrounding a swaged 1×19 cable with the second portion.

15. The method of claim 10 , further comprising the steps of:

connecting a first end of the cable assembly to a throttle assembly;

connecting a second end of the cable assembly to an engine assembly; and

moving a portion of the throttle assembly to slide the second cable in the inner channel and thereby actuate the engine.

16. A segment of a cable assembly, the segment including:

a first cable having a first cross-sectional shape;

an inner channel defined by the first cable;

a second cable having a second cross-sectional shape, wherein the second cable is slidably disposed in the inner channel;

wherein the first cross-sectional shape and the second cross-sectional shape are different;

wherein the second cross-sectional shape is non-circular;

wherein the second cross-sectional shape is a polygon; and

wherein the second cross-sectional shape is one of a hexagon shape and a decagon shape.

17. The segment of claim 16 , further comprising a lubrication material disposed between the first cable and the second cable.

18. The segment of claim 16 , wherein the second cable includes a swaged 1×19 cable surrounded by a polymeric material.

19. The segment of the cable assembly of claim 16 , in combination with a vehicle including a throttle assembly and an engine assembly, the combination comprising:

a first end of the cable assembly coupled with the throttle assembly; and

a second end of the cable assembly coupled with the engine assembly.

20. The combination of claim 19 , wherein the vehicle is a boat.
