  • Multi-pair cable with channeled jackets
    Patent number: 7629536
    Abstract: A multi-pair cable having a double jacket, including an inner jacket and an outer jacket. The inner and outer jackets each including channels formed on an inner surface. The channeled double jacket of the cable reducing the occurrence of alien crosstalk between adjacent cables by reducing the overall dielectric constant of the cable and increasing the center-to-center distance between adjacent cables. The channeled double jacket of the cable still accommodating existing standard cable connectors.
    Type: Grant

  • Cable with twisted pair centering arrangement
    Patent number: 7592550
    Abstract: A multi-twisted pair cable including a plurality of twisted pairs positioned within pockets of a filler. The filler including shaped elements having retaining members for retaining the twisted conductor pairs of the plurality within the pockets of the filler. At least one of the shaped elements of the filler having an end piece that creates a helical ridge in the jacket of the multi-twisted pair cable.

  • Multi-pair cable with varying lay length
    Patent number: 7550676
    Abstract: A multi-pair cable having a plurality of twisted conductor pairs. The twisted conductor pairs each have an initial lay length that is different from that of the other twisted conductor pairs. The plurality of twisted conductor pairs defines a cable core. The core is twisted at a varying twist rate such that the cable core has a mean lay length of less than 2.5 inches.
