Publication number: 20140014394Abstract: A high performance data cable which has an interior support or star separator. The star separator or interior support extends along the longitudinal length of the data cable. The star separator or interior support has a central region. A plurality of prongs or splines extend outward from the central region along the length of the central region. Each prong or spline is adjacent with at least two other prongs or splines. The prongs or splines may be helixed or S-Z shaped as they extend along the length of the star separator or interior support. Each pair of adjacent prongs or splines defines grooves which extend along the longitudinal length of the interior support. At least two of the grooves have disposed therein an insulated conductor. The interior support can have a first material and a different second material. The different second material forms an outer surface of the interior support.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 8, 2013Publication date: January 16, 2014Inventors: Galen Mark Gareis, Paul Z. Vanderlaan

Patent number: 5763823Abstract: A patch high-speed cable for LAN applications having a jacket surrounding at least two twisted-pair insulated cables. Each of the twisted-pair cables have at least one tin sealed stranded tinned metal conductor. The tin sealed stranded tinned metal conductor has 7 or 19 tinned metal strands and a size of 24 or 26 AWG. Each of the tinned metal strands has a tin coating of 20 to 90 micro-inches. The insulation on the metal conductor has a thickness of about 0.007 to about 0.011 inches and a dielectric constant of about 2.2-2.5 and a dissipation factor of 0.0001 to 0.001. The twisted pair cable has an attenuation dB/100 ft. increase of less than 1.0 and preferably less than 0.5 when subjected, as an unterminated twisted pair cable over a 35 day period, to 100 MHz per 100 ft. and ambient air having a humidity of 40 to 80%.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 1996Date of Patent: June 9, 1998Assignee: Belden Wire & Cable CompanyInventors: Thomas J.
