I think he's trying to create a cable with lots of vertibrae like the human spine. Right?

right, ye but how you attech all the element to the spline ik, and meke them move correctly

[soulburn3d]

Instead of spline ik, you may wish to use path deform instead. Make your complex wire mesh, then attach it to a spline using the world space modifier version of path deform (make sure to hit the move to path button to move your wire to the path). Then animate the vertex in your path to manipulate the wire.

This tutorial may help:

Only notes is I would use the world space modifier instead of the regular modifier, and replace my chain model with whatever model you want to deform.
