  • Publication number: 20050279528
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20050167148
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved cable comprising a twisted wire pair. Each wire in the twisted wire pair includes a conductor and a polymeric insulator surrounding the conductor. The insulator defines a plurality of channels that run along the length of the conductor. The conductor has an exterior surface that is exposed to gas within the channels. Apparatuses and methods of manufacturing the improved cable are also disclosed.
