Background:

The cable theory is essential for understanding signal propagation in biological neurons and electrical systems.
Existing solutions often address specific boundary conditions or current injection points, limiting their general applicability.
Analyzing short cables presents challenges due to potential for large relative deviation errors.

Purpose of the Study:

To present a general, time-dependent transient solution for the cable theory with both ends sealed.
To provide a unified framework that encompasses previously reported solutions as particular cases.
To develop a solution useful for analyzing short cables and estimating truncation errors.

Main Methods:

Developed a general solution expressed as an infinite series.
Each term in the series is a product of a position-dependent cosine term and a time-dependent exponential term.
Demonstrated that the general solution unifies and clarifies relationships among various existing solutions.

Main Results:

The derived general solution accurately models current injection at arbitrary points in sealed cables.
The solution exhibits rapid convergence for shorter cables, enhancing analytical utility.
The infinite series structure allows for reliable estimation of truncation errors.

Conclusions:

The presented general solution offers a powerful and versatile tool for cable theory analysis.
It simplifies the understanding of diverse solutions by revealing their interrelations.
This approach is particularly advantageous for the precise analysis of short cable systems.
