A cable channel filler or spline and a cable containing the cable channel filler or spline in its core. The channel filler extends longitudinally and has a plurality of spaced longitudinally extending open pockets in which cables, such as unshielded twisted pair cables, are placed and form part of the core. The core containing the twisted pair cables in the pockets is jacketed. The longitudinal pockets have a cross-sectional area that is greater than the envelope diameter of the twisted pair cable to be placed in the pocket. The channel filler has an imbedded shield that extends into each of the channel filler pocket legs and is preferably prepared from a single tape. Alternatively when two tapes are used for the shield, the first tape has three shield legs and with one leg being a folded over leg and the second tape forms the fourth leg and has 20 to 50 percent&mdash;at least {fraction (1/16)} in. of one of its sides encased by the folded over portion of the first tape.

Cable channel filler with imbedded shield and cable containing the same

The present invention relates to a metallic shielded cable having a wire braid shield coated with a non-gel and non-powder anti-corrosion coating and also to a coaxial cable having a central solid copper or copper clad conductor having a copper surface coated with an anti-corrosion benzotriazole composition. Also, the present invention relates to the method of producing a coaxial cable by coating a copper or copper clad conductor with an anti-corrosion benzotriazole composition prior to extruding a dielectric insulation on the conductor and to a method of preparing a coaxial cable wherein the coaxial cable has an aluminum wire braid and coating the wire braid with an anti-corrosion composition of a metal ionomers of ethylene and acrylic acid copolymers with the metal selected from the group consisting of Zn, Ca, Na and Mg, prior to extruding an insulation jacket around the aluminum wire braid.
