  • Patent number: 9660318
    Abstract: A differential signaling cable includes a pair of signal conductors provided in parallel, longitudinally within the differential signaling cable, an insulator covering a periphery of the pair of signal conductors as a whole, wherein only the insulator is between the pair of signal conductors, and a shield conductor provided on an outer periphery of the insulator. An interval between the pair of signal conductors is set so that an even-mode impedance of the pair of signal conductors having the interval fixed by embedment within the insulator and covered by the shield conductor, is in a range from 1.5 to 1.9 times an odd-mode impedance for improved skew and differential mode insertion loss experienced during a transmission of high-speed signals of at least 10 Gbps.

  • Patent number: 9214260
    Abstract: A differential signal transmission cable includes first and second signal lines arranged parallel to each other, a conductive layer made of a conductor in which a current is induced when signals propagate through the first and second signal lines, and a dielectric disposed between the first and second signal lines and the conductive layer. The conductive layer has a signal attenuating structure including a non-continuous section in which the conductor is non-continuous, the non-continuous section being located such that, among differential signal components and common-mode signal components included in the signals propagating through the first and second signal lines, the common-mode signal components are attenuated by an attenuation factor greater than an attenuation factor of the differential signal components.

  • Patent number: 8653373
    Abstract: A differential signal transmission cable has a pair of insulated wires, a first tape and a second tape. Each of the first and second tapes is made of a base material having an electrical insulating property and an electrical conductive film formed on at least one surface of the base material.
