  • Patent number: 4281211
    Abstract: A flexible woven jacket assembly is disclosed for encasing woven electrical transmission cables providing a flexible package while maintaining the conductors of stacked cables generally fixed in their relative positions and providing protection against abrasion and unwanted electromagnetic noises. The woven jacket assembly includes a woven cover fabric formed from aromatic polyamide fibers woven together to form a solid outer cover fabric and various shielding is disclosed for reducing unwanted electromagnetic noises.

  • Patent number: 4143236
    Abstract: A woven electrical cable comprising a plurality of longitudinal conductor wires arranged in a substantially side-by-side manner for transmitting signals with a pair of longitudinal ground wires carried between adjacent conductor wires longitudinally coextending in a substantially parallel relationship with said conductor wires providing an associated ground wire on each side thereof for isolating a respective conductor wire. The conductor wires and ground wires are interwoven with insulating fiber strands to define a woven pattern with the associated ground wires being spaced from each respective conductor wire in the woven pattern so as to isolate and set the impedance of each conductor wire at a desired impedance value whereby the cable impedance may be controlled producing transmission of uniform signals with reduced cross-talk interference.
