  • Patent number: 5929374
    Abstract: A multiple conductor electric and/or electro-optic cable is disclosed which has a series of integral insulation components (vertebrae) of a very low dielectric resulting in an excellent electron flow. The preferred embodiment includes multiple conductor assemblies each having an elongated cylinder, and each having a plurality of strands of electrical conducting material helically wound and longitudinally disposed between the ends of the cable. The innermost and outermost of such assemblies may serve as the anode. Helically wound in an axially opposing direction and lying between the two anode assemblies is the cathode. There may be as many as four layers of insulating vertebrae (typically made of balsa) each radially separating the conductor layers. The vertebrae may be of equal length and longitudinally aligned or displaced in a variety of configurations depending upon the application. The conductors terminate at connectors coupled to the cable itself by a low dielectric link.
