Abstract: Cables capable of high-speed data transmission and having a low insertion loss. Examples may mitigate the effect of the suckout component of insertion loss by providing cables that eliminated, shift, or reduce the suckout. Examples may eliminate, or at least partially eliminate, the suckout component by providing a continuous return path. Others may shift the frequency of the suckout component to a high frequency where it no longer interferes or significantly attenuates signals being conveyed by the cable. Still others may reduce or control the magnitude of the suckout component.

Abstract: An electrical power transmission system includes electrical insulators arranged to electrically isolate live power lines. Surface reconditioning units are incorporated or integrated in the insulator structures. A sensor arrangement determines surface conditions of the electrical insulators in use to isolate live power lines. In response, the surface reconditioning units automatically recondition the surfaces of the in-service electrical insulators if appropriate for maintaining the electrical insulators in healthy state.

Abstract: A high-voltage isolator is disclosed which has a first electrical connecting piece and a second electrical connecting piece, between which an electrical isolating body extends. The end sections of the connecting pieces are connected to the isolating body, with a toroidal field control element being arranged on at least one of the end sections. A slot, which extends in the circumferential direction of the end section, is introduced on the end section which has the field control element. The field control element and the respectively associated end section are formed integrally. As a result of the slot, tension and compression forces which occur during longitudinal and lateral contractions of the isolating body and act at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the end section can be largely prevented, as can shear forces, while at the same time achieving a high level of uniformity in an area of the isolating gap, for electrical fields which occur during operation.

Abstract: A communication cable can include twisted pairs of electrical conductors for transmitting electrical signals, such as for digital communication or data transmission.

The flexible member can have a cross section that is shaped like the letter T, the letter L, the letter J, or the letter Y. A jacket can circumferentially cover the positioned twisted pairs and the flexible member.
