  • Publication number: 20100018744
    Abstract: The cable includes a conductive cable core, an inner insulating sheath covering the cable core, a conductive sheath covering the inner insulating sheath, and an outer insulating sheath covering the conducting sheath, except for a revealed portion of the conductive sheath extending from an end of the cable, wherein the revealed portion has an end opposite the outer insulating sheath. The method includes the steps of, while maintaining the free end of the conductive sheath in contact with the inner insulating sheath, pushing up the end of the revealed portion of the conductive sheath from the end of the cable for revealing a portion of the inner insulating sheath and causing the revealed portion of the conductive sheath to crumple, forming an annular nipple, and blocking the pushed up portion of the conductive sheath.

  • Publication number: 20090229851
    Abstract: 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.
