Patent number: 8664531Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved insulated conductor with a low dielectric constant and reduced materials costs. The conductor (12) extends along a longitudinal axis and an insulation (14, 14<1>) surrounds the conductor (12). At least on channel (16, 16<1>) in the insulation (14, 14<1>) extends generally along the longitudinal axis to form an insulated conductor. Apparatuses and methods of manufacturing the improved insulated conductors are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2009Date of Patent: March 4, 2014Assignee: ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Inventors: Dave Wickhorst, Spring Stutzman, Jeff Stutzman, Scott Juengst, Fred Johnston, Jim L.

Patent number: 8375694Abstract: The present invention relates to cables made of twisted conductor pairs. More specifically, the present invention relates to twisted pair communication cables for high-speed data communications applications. A twisted pair including at least two conductors extends along a generally longitudinal axis, with an insulation surrounding each of the conductors. The conductors are twisted generally longitudinally along the axis. A cable includes at least two twisted pairs and a filler. At least two of the cables are positioned along generally parallel axes for at least a predefined distance. The cables are configured to efficiently and accurately propagate high-speed data signals by, among other functions, limiting at least a subset of the following: impedance deviations, signal attenuation, and alien crosstalk along the predefined distance.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2011Date of Patent: February 19, 2013Assignee: ADC Telecommunications, Inc.Inventors: Robert Kenny, Stuart Reeves, Keith Ford, John W. Grosh, Spring Stutzman, Roger Anderson, David Wiekhorst, Fred Johnston
