Hi guys, I'm a little confused with the Flex-System naming.
We have Flex-System cables (342c01.dat). I found out about these parts'
existence only recently on TBs and do not have any. But it seems it's some sort

Then we have what's LDraw name is Flex-System hose (75.dat). But for what I know
it's just a hose with no specialty, like the Ribbed Hose.
My question is here: what does link the Flex-System hose and cable together?
Answers would be appreciated.
