Abstract: A retractable device for mounting a length of high speed coaxial cable is taught. The device allows for easy connection of coaxial cable to various electronic devices while also being readily disconnected and stored as needed. The device comprises a compact housing containing a thin coaxial cable having connectors at each end. The cable can be dispensed from the housing as needed and then drawn back into the housing using an actuator, such as a crank handle, following use. The device is particularly effective for establishing temporary electronic signal connections, such as connecting a television to a cable television signal source or a computer to a computer network. The coaxial cable used in the present invention is capable of high speed signal transmission, such as accurately transmitting a primary signal frequency in excess of 40,000 Hz.

Abstract: Coaxial electric cable and simplified process for making it, wherein large gauge center conductor is wrapped with extruded strands of porous expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, drawn through a die to reduce diameter and voids, tape-wrapped with porous expanded polytetrafluoroethylene, sintered, and shielding and extruded jacketing applied.

Abstract: A multi-conductor flat ribbon cable for transmission of data signals having firmly-held accurately spaced apart drain wires wrapped with spaced-apart coils of polymer fibers.

Abstract: A high temperature and radiation resistant all polyimide insulated coaxial cable and process of manufacture. Perforated polyimide tape wrapping yields low dielectric constant cable.
