Michael Thomas Gromko has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8546693
    Abstract: A cable includes twisted pairs of insulated conductors. Each twisted pair includes two insulated conductors twisted together in a helical manner. The twisted pairs are grouped together to define a central core of the cable. An inner filler element is wrapped helically around the twisted pairs of the central core. An outer filler element is wrapped helically around the twisted pairs of the central core. The outer filler element is wrapped over the inner filler element.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20110174531
    Abstract: A cable includes first and second twisted pairs of insulated conductors and a central core. The central core includes a hub and a separator extending outwardly from the hub to an end segment. The separator extends between the first and second twisted pairs to separate the first and second twisted pairs along at least a portion of a length of the cable. The cable also includes a conductive shield extending at least partially around the first and second twisted pairs and the central core. The end segment of the separator extends between the shield and the first twisted pair and is engaged with the shield. The first twisted pair is spaced apart from the shield.

  • Patent number: 7834271
    Abstract: Cabling includes a jacket surrounding a core, and a separator positioned in the core. The separator has at least one shield segment defining walls separating the core into a plurality of chambers each configured to receive a plurality of twisted wire pairs. Each shield segment includes a metallic layer and a laminate layer, wherein the laminate layer defines an exposed surface of the wall of the corresponding chamber.

  • Patent number: 7534963
    Abstract: A low-profile cable is provided and includes a body having upper and lower portions that extend a length of the body and also having opposite sidewalls joining the upper and lower portions to one another. The cable also includes passages that are located between the sidewalls. The passages extend the length of the body and are configured to receive at least one twisted pair of conductors. Also, the cable includes a load-bearing structural section that spans between the upper and lower portions. The structural section includes opposing wall supports separated by a pocket channel therebetween. The structural section is configured to support the upper and lower portions and substantially resist deformation of the passages when external forces are induced onto at least one of the upper and lower portions.
