Abstract: The invention relates to a cable and apparatus and a method for forming the same. The cable comprises a series of conductors, said conductors arranged in sets of two or more, each set having the conductors twisted with respect to each other and passing along the length of the cable encapsulated in a material which forms the body of the cable such that the conductors are integral with the cable body. The material also acts to maintain the spacing of the respective sets. In one embodiment the rigidity of the cable varies dependent on whether or not the cable is twisted. The apparatus provides for the efficient manufacture and storage of the cable.

Abstract: The invention relates to the provision of a plug and socket assembly for use with the ends of a cable to allow the transfer of data and other signals therefrom. The plug and socket assembly can be used for the transfer of audio, video, data. The plug and socket are each provided with reception means for the connection thereto of respective conductor sets of the cable. Typically each conductor set includes at least two conductors and the cable comprises a plurality of conductor sets. The reception means are spaced apart by at least 1 mm on the plug and socket, in one embodiment spaced around a circular path with the angular spacing 360 degrees divided by the number of reception means to be provided. Alternatively, the reception means are spaced apart along a linear axis.

Abstract: The invention is a cable and a method of producing a cable. The cable can be adapted and used for the generation of audio, video, data, electrical supply and other uses and includes at least two conductor sets running along the cable, Each conductor set includes at least two conductors wound or twisted round each other with a known degree or ratio of twist. The conductor sets are spaced apart as they run along the cable. This may be achieved by an elongate member along the cable to retain the spacing of the conductor sets. If required and with reference to the spacing between sets, the degree or ratio of twist or winding of the conductors in each set can be varied between sets. The cable has significantly improved performance with respect to conventionally available cables.
