Publication number: 20090260847Abstract: A data transmission cable (2) comprises at least one pair of wires (4) comprising two wires (6) lying parallel to each other, each with an electrical conductor (8) surrounded by an insulation (10). The pair of wires (4) is sheathed over its length by a foil (12) with an electrically conducting inner side (14) and an electrically insulating outer side (16). To improve the electrical properties of the data transmission cable (2), the foil (12) has a longitudinal fold (18), so that the inner side (14) is directed outward, an additional wire (20), which contacts the inner side (14) made to face outward, being laid on the foil (12).Type: ApplicationFiled: April 21, 2009Publication date: October 22, 2009Applicant: LEONI KABEL HOLDING GMBHInventors: Gerold Tobben, Bernd Janssen

Publication number: 20090229851Abstract: A process of twinning a pair of polymer-insulated conductors to form a twisted pair, where the polymer-insulated conductors are formed by extruding a uniformly thick coating of polymer onto the conductors. More than one twisted pair is encased in a polymer jacket forming a cable. The twisted pair obtains a desirable average impedance performance using a reduced amount by weight of polymer forming said polymer-insulated conductors by: (i) extruding to form longitudinally running peaks and valleys in the exterior surface of each of the polymer-insulated conductors of the pair of polymer-insulated conductors and (ii) twinning resultant polymer-insulated conductors to nest at least one of the peaks in the exterior surface of one of the polymer-insulated conductors in at least one of said valleys in the exterior surface of the other of the polymer-insulated conductors of the pair of polymer-insulated conductors.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2009Publication date: September 17, 2009Applicant: E.I.

Publication number: 20090223698Abstract: An electrical cable with enhanced magnetic fields and better controlling of impedances. The electrical cable includes a central ground core, an inner dielectric layer surrounding the central ground core, and a pair of signal conductor wires spirally wound on the inner dielectric layer. The signal conductor wires are separated from the central ground core by a thickness of the inner dielectric layer, and spaced apart from each other and parallel to each other. The cable further includes an intermediate dielectric layer disposed between the signal conductor wires and an outer dielectric layer surrounding the signal conductor wires and the intermediate dielectric layer.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 4, 2008Publication date: September 10, 2009Inventors: Don A.

Publication number: 20090151980Abstract: The invention discloses a flexible flat cable and the manufacturing method thereof. The Flexible flat cable is manufactured by the following steps of: forming a metal layer on an insulated base layer, then forming a protective layer on the metal layer which had been formed above the insulated base layer, to make the metal layer be covered between the insulated base layer and the protective layer for forming a composite shelter, then preparing a conducting layer and an insulated substrate, and then spreading an insulated glue layer on the bottom of the composite shelter and then combining the composite shelter, the conducting layer and the insulated substrate by a thermo-compression bonding process to make the conducting layer be covered between the insulated base layer and the insulated substrate for forming a flexible flat cable having the composite shelter.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 15, 2008Publication date: June 18, 2009Inventors: Yu Cheng Chin, Sheng Li Hung
