  • Patent number: 10162791
    Abstract: A method for transmitting three data signals from a USB signal in which the first data signal is transmitted differentially via a first conductor pair and the second data signal is transmitted differentially via a second conductor pair. A signal portion of the third data signal is transmitted as a common mode component via the first conductor pair and a reference portion of the third data signal is transmitted as a common mode component via the second conductor pair. A USB transmission system for carrying out this method and an adapter for a USB transmission system are presented.

  • Patent number: 10115499
    Abstract: A cable arrangement of at least two cables which extend adjacently in a substantially parallel manner, a first cable and a second cable of which each having at least one stranding group which has two or more conductors that are twisted together. The length of lay of each of the stranding groups varies in the longitudinal direction of the individual cables. In addition, the length of lay of a stranding group winding of the stranding group of the first cable is smaller than the length of lay of a most directly adjacent stranding group winding of the stranding group of the second cable.
