  • Patent number: 7361831
    Abstract: A coaxial cable and multi-coaxial cable which comprise a low-permittivity insulator having an air layer, whose outer diameters can be reduced, which have excellent flexibility, and which allow productivity to be increased. In the coaxial cable, an electrically conductive filament body for forming an inner conductor, and a filling yarn made of an electrically insulating resin are twisted together, the outside of this twisted body is covered with a tubular insulator so that the insulator makes contact with the electrically conductive filament body and the filling yarn. An outer conductor is provided to the external periphery of the insulator. The multi-coaxial cable has a plurality of the coaxial cables, and the coaxial cables are covered with a common sheath composed of an insulating material.

  • Patent number: 7323640
    Abstract: A shield cable, in which a winding looseness of a shield layer due to twisting can be decreased and a short-circuit between a shield layer and signal conductor as well as a disconnection of the signal conductor is prevented, and a wiring component and information apparatus having the shield cable are provided. A twisted conductor is covered with an insulator to form an insulated wire with an outer diameter of 0.3 mm or less. This insulated wire is covered with a shield conductor and a sheath so as to form a shield cable. The shield conductor consists of a plurality of shield layers. The first shield layer at an inner most part is formed by winding conductors spirally with a scroll pitch of 7 to 13 mm. One shield cable may contain two insulated wires.

  • Patent number: 7034228
    Abstract: A coaxial element wire includes a center conductor, an insulation layer, and an outer conductor. The insulation layer is provided around the center conductor, and it has a thickness of 0.15 mm or less. The outer conductor is a ribbon-shaped conductor obtained by pressing a copper or copper alloy round wire into a flat form, without annealing after pressing. This ribbon-shaped conductor is spirally wrapped around the insulation layer to thereby form the coaxial element wire. The coaxial element wire may be covered with a protective jacket, and plural coaxial wire elements may be joined into a common jacket to form a multicore cable.

  • Patent number: 6631554
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a worked-wire product from a wire (10) including, all coaxially arranged, a core conductor (11), an insulator (12), an outer conductor (13), a metal-evaporated film (14) and a sheath (15) is provided. The method comprises the steps of exposing a portion of the outer conductor (13); holding the exposed portion at two positions by gripping with metallic foils (2a; 2b) and fixtures (3; 4); bending the outer conductor (13) about a bending center (S) until it is circumferentially cut off, the bending being effected while applying ultrasonic vibrations on the outer conductor (13) through the fixture (4); removing the cut off portion of the outer conductor (13) to expose a portion of the insulator (12); and removing the exposed portion of the insulator (12) to expose a portion of the core conductor (11).
