  • Communication wire
    Publication number: 20060118322
    Abstract: 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 one 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.

  • Communication wire
    Publication number: 20050167148
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved cable comprising a twisted wire pair. Each wire in the twisted wire pair includes a conductor and a polymeric insulator surrounding the conductor. The insulator defines a plurality of channels that run along the length of the conductor. The conductor has an exterior surface that is exposed to gas within the channels. Apparatuses and methods of manufacturing the improved cable are also disclosed.

  • Optimizing lan cable performance
    Patent number: 6153826
    Abstract: A method of constructing twisted pair cables having an average impedance of no less than 97.5.OMEGA. and no more than 102.5.OMEGA. is disclosed. The longest lay length pair is used as a base reference and the construction of each additional twisted pair is altered to better match the averaged impedance. Specifically, the insulated conductor thickness T.sub.i of each twisted pair is adjusted, dependent upon the configuration of the base pair.
