Abstract: A multi-pair cable having a jacket, including a spacer integrally formed in the jacket. The spacer extends helically about the central axis of the cable. The spacer includes an inner projection that projects radially inward and an outer projection that projects radially outward from the main wall of the jacket. The jacket with the spacer reduces the occurrence of alien crosstalk between adjacent cables.

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 on 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.

Abstract: A multi-pair cable having a double jacket, including an inner jacket and an outer jacket. The inner and outer jackets each including channels formed on an inner surface. The channeled double jacket of the cable reducing the occurrence of alien crosstalk between adjacent cables by reducing the overall dielectric constant of the cable and increasing the center-to-center distance between adjacent cables. The channeled double jacket of the cable still accommodating existing standard cable connectors.

Abstract: The present invention relates to cables made of twisted conductor pairs. More specifically, the present invention relates to twisted pair communication cables for high-speed data communications applications. A twisted pair including at least two conductors extends along a generally longitudinal axis, with an insulation surrounding each of the conductors. The conductors are twisted generally longitudinally along the axis. A cable includes at least two twisted pairs and a filler. At least two of the cables are positioned along generally parallel axes for at least a predefined distance. The cables are configured to efficiently and accurately propagate high-speed data signals by, among other functions, limiting at least a subset of the following: impedance deviations, signal attenuation, and alien crosstalk along the predefined distance.

Abstract: A multi-twisted pair cable including a plurality of twisted pairs positioned within pockets of a filler. The filler including shaped elements having retaining members for retaining the twisted conductor pairs of the plurality within the pockets of the filler. At least one of the shaped elements of the filler having an end piece that creates a helical ridge in the jacket of the multi-twisted pair cable.

Abstract: A multi-pair cable having a plurality of twisted conductor pairs. The twisted conductor pairs each have an initial lay length that is different from that of the other twisted conductor pairs. The plurality of twisted conductor pairs defines a cable core. The core is twisted at a varying twist rate such that the cable core has a mean lay length of less than 2.5 inches.

Abstract: A multi-pair cable having a plurality of twisted conductor pairs and a shielding arrangement. The shielding arrangement including at least one shielding component. The shielding component including a length of tape encased by a dielectric material.
