Techflex may be the sheathing you're looking for. They even offer
different grades for heavy duty use. You'll just need to make sure the
size chosen can expand sufficiently to go over the connectors at either
end. To secure and finish the ends, use heatshrink tubing.

Subject: [OT] Rugged USB cable?
Anyone here come across anything like a rugged USB cable?
Scenario: Measure equipment cabled to a laptop via USB. Laptop goes
on a table. Measure equipment is moved around a piece of work being
measured. Cable is dragged across floors, stepped on, yanked,
abraded, pinched, kinked, etc. User education is being pursued, but
it still seems like a tougher cable would be appropriate for the
environment. Some kind of extra-thick sheath, or even flexible
segmented metal (like the kind used on payphone handsets).
