  • Patent number: 9472322
    Abstract: An electrical cable includes a cable jacket extending a length and having an internal passageway that extends along the length of the cable jacket. Twisted pairs of insulated electrical conductors extend within the internal passageway along the length of the cable jacket. Each twisted pair includes two insulated conductors twisted together in a helical manner. At least two optical fibers extend within the internal passageway along the length of the cable jacket. The optical fibers are independently held within the internal passageway of the cable jacket relative to each other.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20150075834
    Abstract: A cable includes first and second twisted pairs of insulated conductors, a first inner shield at least partially surrounding the first twisted pair. The first inner shield is at least partially conductive. A second inner shield at least partially surrounds the second twisted pair. The second inner shield is at least partially conductive. An at least partially conductive outer shield at least partially surrounds the first and second twisted pairs and the first and second inner shields such that the first and second twisted pairs and the first and second inner shields extend within an internal passageway of the outer shield.

  • 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: 7622680
    Abstract: A cable includes a round core having at least one twisted pair of insulated wires. A jacket surrounds the core, and the jacket includes at least one spline projecting inward from an inner surface of the jacket, wherein at least a portion of the twisted pair is positioned between the spline and a center of the core. The spline extends continuously on the inner surface of the jacket along a longitudinal axis of the core.
