Abstract: A cable has a conductor keeper, multiple bare conductors, a dielectric tape, a plastic jacket and two copper cylinders. The conductor keeper has multiple grooves. Each bare conductor is mounted in a corresponding groove of the conductor keeper and has a first end and a second end.

The plastic jacket is coated around the dielectric tape. Two copper cylinders are mounted in the spaces of the bare conductors respectively to make the bare conductors surround the copper cylinders and the bare conductors connect to each other in parallel. Therefore, the skin effect is minimized and the bare conductors are efficient in that power consumption and emission of carbon dioxide during copper-smelting are significantly reduced.

Abstract: A network communication device includes a transceiver module, an address translation module, a control buffer module, an IP routing module, and a processor. The transceiver module is configured for forwarding packets. The address translation module determines if addresses of the forwarded packets need to be translated and translates the addresses of the forwarded packets when needed. Next, the address translation module marks the packets of translated addresses with flags and records the flags in the control buffer module. The IP routing module routes the forwarded packets from the address translation module and sends the forwarded packets back to the address translation module. The address translation module receives the forwarded packets from the IP routing module, determines if the addresses of the forwarded packets have been translated by querying the flags in the control buffer module, and sends the forwarded packets that have been translated to the transceiver module.
