A seat track system for conducting electricity between spaced apart seats,
such as between passenger seats of an aircraft passenger cabin,
comprising a conductive tube assembly and a housing. The conductive tube
assembly includes a conductive inner layer having a first conductive
portion and a second conductive portion that is structurally independent
of the first conductive portion. The first and the second portions define
a socket. The tube assembly further includes a dielectric outer layer
that is elastic so as to exert a biasing force on the conductive inner
layer to urge the first portion and the second portion together. The
housing is operable to receive the conductive tube assembly and support
the tube assembly between the first and the second seats. The socket is
operable to receive a conductive member that mates with the conductive
inner layer to conduct electricity to and from the conductive tube
assembly.
