BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 0001 1. Field of the Invention 0002 The present invention relates to a method for integrating a plurality of cables, and particularly to a method for integrating a plurality of electrical cables used for interconnecting two electrical devices. 0003 2. Description of Prior Art 0004 As the development and innovations of electrical technology continue to advance, electrical devices are being designed to have an increasing number of improved functions. New electrical products are developed and marketed in rapid succession. Accordingly, interconnection and information transmission among various electrical products are constantly being developed, particularly for multifunction electrical transmission systems. 0005 Cables are generally adopted to electrically connect electrical devices. A conventional means for assembling a plurality of cables is to respectively fix electrical connectors to first and second ends of the cables. The electrical connectors of the first ends of the cables can respectively mate with corresponding electrical connectors of a first electrical device, and the electrical connectors of the second ends of the cables can respectively mate with corresponding electrical connectors of a second electrical device. The cables thus interconnect the first and second electrical devices. 0006 Conventional cables are often directly exposed to the environment, and are subject to degradation and accidental damage. Multiple cable systems are prone to twisting and misconnection. 0007 New means for integration of a plurality of cables which can overcome the shortcomings of conventional cable technology are desired.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 0008 In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a method of integrating a plurality of cables that yields excellent connection among electrical devices. 0009 Another object of the present invention is to provide a simple manufacturing procedure for a cable module. 0010 A further object of the present invention is to provide a manufacturing procedure for a cable module which insures manufacturing precision, saves manpower and reduces manufacturing costs. 0011 A still further object of the present invention is to provide a method of integrating a plurality of cables which effectively protects the cables. 0012 To fulfill the above-mentioned objects, a method of integrating a plurality of cables used for interconnecting electrical devices is provided by the present invention. In a preferred embodiment of the method, firstly, a precursor cable is prepared and cut into a plurality of cables as required for a particular application. Secondly, the cables are put into a sleeve. First ends and opposite second ends of the cables protrude out suitable predetermined distances from opposite ends of the sleeve respectively. Thirdly, the cables are fixed in the sleeve. Finally, the first and second ends are precision cut as required for the particular application, and respectively joined to corresponding connectors as required for the particular application. A cable module is thus formed. 0013 In an alternative embodiment of the method, firstly, a precursor cable is prepared and cut into a plurality of cables as required for a particular application. Secondly, first ends of the cables are cut as required for the particular application, and joined to corresponding connectors as required for the particular application. Thirdly, the cables are extended through the sleeve, second ends first. Fourthly, the cables are fixed in the sleeve. Finally, the second ends of the cables are precision cut as required for the particular application, and joined to corresponding connectors as required for the particular application. A cable module is thus formed. 0014 Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION 0021 Reference will now be made to the drawings to describe the present invention in detail. 0022 Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a cable module 10 comprises a plurality of cables 12 (only a pair of cables 12 is shown) used to respectively transmit electrical signals, and a rigid sleeve 14. The cables 12 extend through the sleeve 14, and opposite ends of each cable 12 are respectively electrically connected to a first electrical device 20 and a second electrical device 30. Thus an electrical transmission system is formed, wherein signal transmission between the first and the second electrical devices 20, 30 can be obtained. 0023 Because the sleeve 14 is rigid, it can provide support for holding the first electrical device 20. Furthermore, the sleeve 14 holds the cables 12 therein and protects them. 0024 The present invention relates to a method for assembling the cables 12 into the sleeve 14, and related procedures. FIGS. 2 and 3 illustrate a preferred embodiment of the method of the present invention. 0025 Firstly, a precursor cable is prepared and cut into a plurality of cables 12 (only a pair of cables 12 is shown) as required for a particular application. Secondly, the cables 12 are put into the sleeve 14. First ends 16 and opposite second ends 18 of the cables 12 protrude out suitable predetermined distances from opposite ends of the sleeve 14 respectively. Thirdly, the cables 12 are fixed in the sleeve 14. Finally, the first and second ends 16, 18 are precision cut as required for the particular application, and respectively joined to corresponding connectors (not labeled) as required for the particular application. The cable module 10 is thus formed (see FIG. 3). 0026 FIGS. 4, 5 and 6 illustrate an alternative embodiment of the method of the present invention. Firstly, a precursor cable is prepared and cut into a plurality of cables 12 (only a pair of cables 12 is shown) as required for a particular application. Secondly, first ends 16 of the cables 12 are cut as required for the particular application, and joined to corresponding connectors (not labeled) as required for the particular application. Thirdly, the cables 12 are extended through the sleeve 14, second ends 18 first. Fourthly, the cables 12 are fixed in the sleeve 14. Finally, the second ends 18 of the cables 12 are precision cut as required for the particular application, and joined to corresponding connectors (not labeled) as required for the particular application. A cable module 10 is thus formed (see FIG. 6). 0027 The alternative embodiment has even more advantages than the preferred embodiment. In the alternative embodiment, the first ends 16 of the cables 12 are cut as required for the particular application, and joined to the corresponding connectors (not labeled) as required for the particular application. The first ends 16 do not need to be precision cut, because the cables 12 are subsequently extended through the sleeve 14. Thereafter, the first ends 16 need only be suitably positioned relative to a proximate end of the sleeve 14 to ensure that the first ends 16 comply with the requirements of the particular application. 0028 While preferred embodiments in accordance with the present invention have been shown and described, equivalent modifications and changes known to persons skilled in the art according to the spirit of the present invention are considered within the scope of the present invention as defined in the appended claims.
