Abstract: Probe assembly includes an ultrasound probe and a cable assembly configured to communicatively couple the ultrasound probe to a control system and transmit signals therethrough. The cable assembly includes a cable jacket surrounding a channel of the cable assembly. The cable assembly also includes a plurality of wire pairs extending through the channel. The channel being sized and shaped to permit the wire pairs to move relative to one another within the channel when the probe assembly is moved. The wire pairs and the channel are configured to have a designated pack ratio (AreaWPS/AreaC). The AreaWPS includes a collective cross-sectional area of the wire pairs, and the AreaC is equal to a cross-sectional area of the channel.

Abstract: An electrical cable includes a first conductor assembly having a first inner conductor and a first insulator engaging and surrounding a surface of the first inner conductor and a second conductor assembly having a second inner conductor and a second insulator engaging and surrounding a surface of the second inner conductor. The electrical cable includes a non-conductive buffer layer surrounding the conductor assemblies having an inner surface engaging the insulators and a conductive shield layer engaging and surrounding an outer surface of the non-conductive buffer layer and providing electrical shielding for the conductor assemblies. An outer jacket engages and surrounds the conductive shield layer.

Abstract: Sensor assembly includes a modular device and a cable assembly configured to communicatively couple the modular device and a control system and transmit digital signals therethrough. The cable assembly includes a cable jacket surrounding a channel and a twisted pair extending through the channel. The coated twisted pair includes first and second signal wires that each include a respective signal conductor and an insulation layer that surrounds the respective signal conductor. The coated twisted pair also includes a ground conductor. The first and second signal wires are twisted about one another. A twist exterior is defined by corresponding exterior surfaces of the first and second signal wires and the ground conductor. The twist exterior is coated with a conductive material.

Abstract: A cable (210) includes a center conductor (220). An insulating material in the form of a layer (225) surrounds the center conductor. A sparse shield (232) partially surrounds the insulating material. The sparse shield may include a plurality of conductors, which are grouped adjacent to one another within a space around the insulating layer that has a length that is less than 25% of the total circumference of the insulating layer. An insulating jacket (227) covers the sparse shield and the remainder of the cable. The cable may be used in a cable assembly (10).
