Meta patents new way to make tiny cables for devices

Patent drawing
Patent drawing from the official filing.

Meta describes a method for creating customized micro-coaxial cables, which are very thin wires used to carry electrical signals. The process uses extrusion to attach a conductive core to the cable's surface, avoiding the need for a laser or chemical ablation step.

Why it mattersThis manufacturing technique could help produce smaller, more flexible components for future hardware, though the filing does not specify which products will use them.

In the filing’s own words

A method of the subject technology includes fabricating a customized micro-coaxial cable by using an extrusion process to connect a conductive core to a surface of a micro-coaxial cable and providing surface connections without using an ablation process.

What exactly they claim (claim 1)

1. A method comprising: fabricating a customized micro-coaxial cable by: using an extrusion process to connect a conductive core to a surface of a micro-coaxial cable; and providing surface connections without using an ablation process.
