Abstract: A right angle connector includes a fixture for supporting a coaxial cable through a ninety degree angle made in close proximity to the connector. The connector is typically of standard configuration including a contact means, a ferrule, and crimp sleeve positioned within a casing. An engagement means functions to support that portion of the coaxial cable as it bends through the ninety degree angle and may be soldered to the cable.

Abstract: A high speed data transmission cable comprises a pair of primary cables positioned adjacent to each other along their lengths with each primary cable including a pair of generally parallel conductors coupled together and surrounded by insulation. A shield layer surrounds each primary cable along its length to isolate the primary cables from each other. The primary cables and corresponding shield layers are twisted together around a center axis and form a double helical structure, thereby providing improved transmission characteristics in the high speed data transmission cable.

Abstract: A cable connecting system for interconnection with a mating connector includes a connecting element, a first securing element, and a second securing element. The first securing element is rotatably mounted to the connector and the second securing member is rotatably mounted to the first securing element. In operation, the first and second securing elements are first threaded onto a receiving section of the mating connector. Once fully positioned on the receiving section of the mating connector, torque is applied in a conventional direction to the first securing element to secure the connecting element to the mating connector. Then, torque is applied in a counter direction to the second securing element to lock the first and second securing elements. The cable connecting system and the method of interconnection utilizing the cable connecting system is reversible so as to allow repeated connection and disconnection of various assemblies of cable assemblies.

Abstract: The finished mass terminated end for a miniature coaxial ribbon cable is comprised of coaxial ribbon cable having an overlayer of metallic materials soldered into position, adhesive tape end portions and the insulation required by the conductor. The method of producing the mass terminated miniature coaxial ribbon cable comprises the steps necessary to produce a cable, both during the process and as a finished product that is consistently uniform in terms of the spacing of the conductors exposed and repetitive axial location without which later operations cannot be performed enmasse with a high degree of reliability and uniform appearance. The uniformity also allows termination without crossovers and shorts and improves strain relief by allowing all the conductors to become taut at the same time in order to equally share mechanical loads in a straight line motion.

Abstract: An insulated conductor having improved arc propagation resistant properties. The insulation consists of a first layer of a composite tape of polyimide between two layers of polytetrafluoroethylene. The second overlaying tape layer is unsintered polytetrafluoroethylene. Further disclosed is a process for manufacturing a sintered wire product having a tin plated electrical conductor.
