Abstract: The electrical connector of this invention is for terminating the wires of a cable into an electrical insert positioned within a connector backshell at an angle to the direction of the cable. A wireing space at the rear of the backshell is provided to terminate the wires within the insert. The connector is used to provide a connector interface for a cable running along one surface of a bulkhead and turning at an angle through the bulkhead to a receptacle or connector face extending from the other face of the bulkhead. The connector face receives an associated electrical interface device. The electrical connector of this invention provides the connector in a minimum amount of clearance space on both sides of the bulkhead. Grounding and shielding of a shielded portion of the cable to the connector is also provided within the minimum clearance space. A tie cord attaches the wires of the cable to a neck of the hollow shaft of the connector backshell to provide stress relief for the wires.

Abstract: A composite shield jacket and woven electrical transmission cable assembly is disclosed wherein the shield jacket comprises an outer elastomeric cover and a metalized backing on the interior side of the cover which advantageously may comprise a thin flexible fibrous web formed either by weaving metallic coated fibers or forming a non-woven web from the metallic coated fibers, or by applying a thin metallic layer to the backside of the cover. In any case, a highly durable, flexible shield jacket is provided. When the jacket is applied to a flat transmission cable according to the invention, the side edges of the shield are on opposite sides of the cable so as to overlap the sides of the shield and cover so that exits from the shield are defined on opposing sides of the cable reducing the unwanted escape of interference noises.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a woven electrical transmission cable formed with cut zones, body zones and an identification tracer. The cable is formed of an array of longitudinally extending insulated conductor warp wires arranged side by side. A plurality of longitudinally extending synthetic yarns arranged to be substantially parallel with and substantially adjacent one edge of the array of conductive wires. The synthetic yarns are colored a color which distinguishes from the color of the conductor wires. A weft yarn is woven with the array of conductor wires and the synthetic yarns to form the body zone. The weft yarn weaves only with the synthetic yarns to form the cut zones which are arranged in spaced manner longitudinally of the cable. The conductor wires weave with the weft yarn in a two up two down twill weave to form the body zones.

Abstract: A woven shielded cable in which a plurality of conductor wires and a plurality of spacer cords are alternately arranged to extend longitudinally of the cable. A woven outer cover is formed from metalized warp and weft yarns, to encapsulate the conductor and spacer cords to form a shield therefor. A set of binder yarns weave with the weft yarns on opposite side of the conductor wires and spacer cords to positively lock the warp yarns, the spacer cords and the conductor wires in position relative to each other. The cable may be formed with a hinge arranged longitudinally along an intermediate point. In this instance the warp yarns are divided into two groups which weave on opposed sides of the hinge and on opposite surfaces of the opposite sides. The conductor wires are stacked and shielded from each other when the cable is folded along the hinge.

Abstract: A balanced-line transmission cable is disclosed for use in a communications system of the type having a differential driver which transmits a differential output in the form of two output voltage signals which are transmitted to two corresponding inputs of a differential receiver which produces an output proportional to the difference between the two input voltage signals. A woven balanced line transmission cable includes a plurality of balanced-line signal conductor pairs each pair consisting of first and second signal transmission wires laterally spaced closely adjacent one another and lying generally parallel with one another in the cable. The first and second signal transmission wires transmit one each of the two voltages for input into the differential receiver. A plurality of fiber warp and weft yarns are interwoven in the cable with the signal conductor wire pairs fixing the lateral spacing and parallel alignment of the first and second signal transmission wires.
