Subject: Looking for correct name or terminology f or a push-pull

Hi All,

I am looking for the correct terminology here:

You know the heater and vent cables?� They are flexible sheathed rods that
can both push and pull.� By contrast a sheathed cable like a bike brake
cable can only pull - if you push on it it will buckle.

What is the name of either a sheathed rod that can push and pull, or a
sheathed cable with a rod on the end, again for both pushing and pulling?

Thanks!
