  • Communication cable with improved electrical characteristics
    Patent number: 9012778
    Abstract: A communication cable with a plurality of twisted pairs of conductors and a matrix tape having conductive segments separated by gaps. In some embodiments, an insulating layer is placed between the twisted pairs of conductors and the matrix tape. In some embodiments, the insulating layer is an embossed or perforated film.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 20, 2013
    Date of Patent: April 21, 2015
    Assignee: Panduit Corp.
    Inventors: Ronald A. Nordin, Masud Bolouri-Saransar, Timothy J. Houghton, II, Steven C. Weirather, Hector J. Hoffmaister

  • Communication Cable With Improved Electrical Characteristics
    Publication number: 20100282493
    Abstract: A communication cable is provided with a plurality of twisted pairs of conductors and a matrix tape having conductive segments separated by gaps. The dimensions of the conductive segments are selected to reduce the undesirable coupling of signals between adjacent cables. An insulating layer may be provided between the twisted pairs of conductors and the matrix tape. In some embodiments, the insulating layer is an embossed or perforated film. The use of an embossed or perforated film decreases the dielectric constant of the insulating layer.
