Data communication cables include twisted wire pairs, a fire retardant tape, a metallized tape shield, a braided metallic shield, and a jacket layer. The fire retardant tape surrounds the twisted wire pairs has an overlap of about 15% to about 25%. The data communication cables are also halogen-free and may pass the fire retardant standards of National Fire Protection Agency ('NFPA') 130.

Fire resistant data communication cable

A cable separator includes a body, and the body includes a polycarbonate-based material that is at least a partially foamed. Cables and methods of manufacturing such cables having a separator are also provided.

Foamed polycarbonate separators and cables thereof

Three-wire communication cables are useful for operation with a vehicle as vehicular data communication cables. The cables include a cable core formed of three insulated wires twisted together at a defined pitch and a jacket surrounding the cable core. The cables can meet Mobile Industry Processor Interface ('MIPI') C-PHY&#x2120; standard (Version 1.2) as well as International Standards Organization ('ISO') 6722-1 (2011) and 14572 (2011).

Three-wire communication cable

Data communication cables include twisted wire pairs, a fire retardant tape, and a jacket layer. The fire retardant tape surrounds the twisted wire pairs has an overlap of about 15% to about 25%. The data communication cables are also halogen-free and may pass the fire retardant standards of National Fire Protection Agency ('NFPA') 130.

A communications cable having a plurality of twisted pairs of conductors and various embodiments of a metal foil tapes between the twisted pairs and a cable jacket is disclosed. In some embodiments, a metal foil tape includes a discontinuous metal layer and a polymer layer bonded to the metal layer. Portions of the metal layer and the polymer layer are deformed to form a plurality of dimples, the dimples forming air gaps between the polymer layer and the cable core or a barrier layer if used. The air gaps lower the overall dielectric constant between the metal layer and the cable core, thereby lowering the alien capacitance of the communications cable.

Communications cable with improved isolation between wire-pairs and metal foil tape

Twisted pair data communication cables with modified delay skew values to improve electrical performance are disclosed. Methods of making and using the cables are also disclosed.

Data communication cable having modified delay skew

A cable separator comprising a preshaped article having a longitudinal length, wherein said preshaped article is substantially entirely formed of a foamed polymer material having a glass transition temperature greater than 160&#xb0; C. and being halogen-free is provided. A data communications cable comprising a plurality of conductors and the cable separator of the present invention, wherein said cable separator separates the plurality of conductors is provided. A method of manufacturing a cable comprising the separator of the invention is also provided.

Foamed polymer separator for cabling

A cable includes a first twisted pair of insulated conductors, a second twisted pair of insulated conductors, a shielding tape, and an outer jacket surrounding the first twisted pair of insulated conductors, the second twisted pair of insulated conductors and the shielding tape. The shielding tape includes a substrate and a plurality of conductive shielding segments. The plurality of conductive shielding segments is disposed on the substrate. Each conductive shielding segment is spaced from each immediately adjacent conductive shielding segment in a longitudinal direction.

Cable having shielding tape with conductive shielding segments

The present invention relates to materials for making cable jackets, particularly for riser and plenum cables. The materials provide low flammability and allow the cable to meet UL 910 or NFPA-262 or UL 1666 specifications. The composition contains polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resin, a plasticizer, ammonium octamolybdate, a molybdate compound, a stabilizer, a lubricant, aluminum trihydrate, and either i) metal oxide particles, ii) a polytetrafluoroehtylene (PTFE), iii) an intumescent compound, or iv) combinations thereof.

Jacket composition for riser and plenum cables

A data cable can include a plurality of insulated conductors twisted into pairs, an intumescent tape surrounding one or more of the insulated conductors, and a jacket. Each of the plurality of insulated conductors includes a conductor and an insulation layer. Data cables being fluoropolymer-free or halogen free are also described herein.

Data cables having an intumescent tape

The present invention relates generally to cables suitable for use in plenum applications. In particular, the present invention relates to coaxial cables suitable for use in plenum applications (which exhibit flame spread and smoke generation properties that comply with industry standards, e.g., UL 910 or NFPA 262) without compromising electrical performance. The cable has two or more layers of insulation where the inner layer is made of a material having a high melt flow index and the outer layer is made of a material having a low melt flow index.
