  • Publication number: 20120080210
    Abstract: A cable that comprises a cable core that includes at least one conductor that is surrounded by insulation. A barrier layer substantially surrounds the conductor's insulation. The barrier layer may include a plurality of shielding segments. Each of the shielding segments extends substantially around a circumference of the barrier layer. The shielding segments may be spaced from one other to form a discontinuous shield around the conductor.

  • Publication number: 20120080211
    Abstract: A cable that comprises a cable core which includes a plurality of pairs of insulated conductors, a barrier layer surrounding at least one pair of the insulated conductors, and at least one shielding layer that is provided between the plurality of pairs of insulated conductors. The barrier layer may be non-conductive and the shielding layer may be conductive.

  • Publication number: 20120080209
    Abstract: A shielding for a cable component that comprises a base material that is non-conductive and a plurality of conductive particles suspended in or disposed on an outer surface of the base material. The conductive particles are at least one of substantially the same size, the same shape, the same conductive material, different sizes, different shapes, and different conductive materials, such that selection of the conductive particles tunes the frequency bandwidth for effective shielding.

  • Publication number: 20110083878
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to cables suitable for use in plenum applications. In particular, the present invention relates to coaxial cables suitable for use in plenum applications (which exhibit flame spread and smoke generation properties that comply with industry standards, e.g., UL 910 or NFPA 262) without compromising electrical performance. The cable has two or more layers of insulation where the inner layer is made of a material having a high melt flow index and the outer layer is made of a material having a low melt flow index.

  • Publication number: 20100218973
    Abstract: A separator for a communication cable that has a body including at least one segment adapted to define at least first and second quadrants in the communication cable for separating wires. The at least one segment has at least one part with a first width. The at least one segment includes at least one geometric feature spaced from a terminal end of the segment. The geometric feature has a geometric shape defines a discrete portion of the segment. The geometric feature has a second width larger than the first width, whereby the difference between the first and second widths represents at least one reduced area of the body.

  • Publication number: 20100200269
    Abstract: A separator for a communication cable that comprises a body that includes at least first and second segments adapted to define a plurality of quadrants in the communication cable. The segments are substantially perpendicular to each other and define a junction point of the segments. Each of the segments includes a main portion and a terminal end remote from the junction point of the segments. Each of the terminal ends has a shape such that each of the terminal ends is wider than the main portions of the segments. At least one air pocket is defined between the terminal ends of the segments. The air pocket includes a gap sized such that the air pocket is substantially enclosed.

  • Publication number: 20100116521
    Abstract: A communications cable is provided with a matrix tape that attenuates alien crosstalk when cables run near one another. The matrix tape is provided with conductive segments. The conductive segments are preferably provided on two layers of the matrix tape. In one embodiment, the conductive segments are attached to a film with an adhesive. A barrier tape is preferably provided between the cable core and the matrix tape.
