Insulated conductor

The present invention relates to an improved insulated conductor with a low dielectric constant and reduced materials costs. The conductor () extends along a longitudinal axis and an insulation (&#x3e;) surrounds the conductor (). At least on channel (&#x3e;) in the insulation (&#x3e;) extends generally along the longitudinal axis to form an insulated conductor. Apparatuses and methods of manufacturing the improved insulated conductors are also disclosed.

Communication wire

A cable includes a jacket, a shielding tape, a pair of wires, an inner and outer jacket layer, and a separator. The shielding tape includes a substrate and a plurality of conductive shield segments disposed on the substrate. The pair of wires form a twisted pair. The inner and outer jacket layers are extruded onto inner and outer surfaces, respectively, of the substrate. The substrate, the inner jacket layer and the outer jacket layer are bonded together into a single layer that defines a circumference. Each of the conductive shield segments: extends only partially around the circumference of the single layer; is longitudinally spaced from each longitudinally adjacent one of the conductive shield segments; is radially spaced from, and overlaps a portion of, each immediately circumferentially adjacent one of the conductive shield segments; and is embedded in at least one of the inner jacket layer and the outer jacket layer.

Method for making cable jacket with embedded shield

A method for making a cable jacket that includes the steps of providing at least one shielding tape having a substrate formed of a substrate material, said substrate including at least one conductive segment; inserting the at least one shielding tape between first and second jacket layers of the cable jacket, each of said first and second jacket layers being formed of a jacket material; and co-extruding the at least one shielding tape with the first and second jacket layers, wherein the substrate material of the at least one shielding tape and the jacket material of the first and second jacket layers are the same such that during the co-extrusion step, the substrate and first and second jacket layers bond together into a single layer wherein the at least one conductive segment is embedded in the single layer.

The present invention relates to cables made of twisted conductor pairs. More specifically, the present invention relates to twisted pair communication cables for high-speed data communications applications. A twisted pair including at least two conductors extends along a generally longitudinal axis, with an insulation surrounding each of the conductors. The conductors are twisted generally longitudinally along the axis. A cable includes at least two twisted pairs and a filler. At least two of the cables are positioned along generally parallel axes for at least a predefined distance. The cables are configured to efficiently and accurately propagate high-speed data signals by, among other functions, limiting at least a subset of the following: impedance deviations, signal attenuation, and alien crosstalk along the predefined distance.

Cable with offset filler

A communication cable that comprises a jacket, a twisted wire group, and a single separator received in a core of the jacket. The separator includes a body that has first and second segments adapted to define quadrants in the communication cable. The first and second segments are substantially perpendicular to each other and define a junction point of the first and second segments. Each segment includes a main portion and a terminal end remote from the junction point of the segments. Each of the terminal ends has a shape such that each of the terminal ends is wider than the main portions of the segments. An air pocket is defined between the terminal ends of the first and second segments. The air pocket includes a gap sized such that the air pocket is substantially enclosed, wherein the twisted wire group is prevented from entering the air pocket.

Separator for communication cable with shaped ends

The present invention relates to an improved isolated core or insulated conductor with a low dielectric constant and reduced materials costs. Apparatuses and methods of manufacturing the improved isolated core or insulated conductor are also disclosed.
