A process for obtaining a twisted pair electrical signal cable having conductors of equal physical length and equal signal transmitting properties by passing a parallel pair of adhered insulated conductors of equal length through a closely-fitting die and twisting the conductors into a twisted pair cable. The process applies to thermopolymer insulated and ePTFE insulated conductors.

Process for manufacture of twisted pair electrical cables having

A mutliconductor cable having separatable insulated conductors is provided having a plurality of insulated conductors spaced apart in planar relationship and at least the exterior layer is comprised of porous PTFE, wherein a contact area exists between adjacent exterior layers so that adjacent insulated conductors bond with each other. A multiconductor cable is also described comprising a plurality of conductors insulated in discrete clusters wherein each cluster is surrounded by an exterior layer of expanded porous PTFE which forms a bond with the adjacent exterior layer. A multiconductor cable comprising coaxial cables which are bonded together by the exterior layer of expanded porous PTFE is also described. A process of making the multiconductor cable is also described.
