  • Patent number: 7358436
    Abstract: A high performance data cable comprises first and second insulated conductors, each disposed in a respective first layer of insulation and a second layer of insulation covering the first and second insulated conductors and maintaining the first and second insulated conductors to one another. The first and second insulated conductors and the second layer of insulation are twisted about a common central axis to form a twisted pair unit.

  • Patent number: 7335066
    Abstract: A network connection system for connecting computer and telephone network components, including a twisted pair cable termination connector for use with twisted pair cable, the twisted pairs being arranged within an outer cable jacket such that each twisted pair substantially occupies a cross sectional quadrant of the cable. The connector includes a pair separator having four passages arranged to substantially keep the four twisted pairs in a quadrant relationship relative to one another and in which the twisted relationship of each twisted pair is maintained substantially until the conductors are electrically terminated to their respective conductive contact member; and a mating component adapted to couple with the twisted pair cable termination connector.

  • Patent number: 7208683
    Abstract: A multi-pair cable including a plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors, each having a closing lay length (twist lay length measured after the twisted pairs are cabled together with a particular cable lay) of less than about 0.6 inches. The plurality of twisted pairs are twisted together with a cable lay of greater than about three inches to form the cable. In some examples, the multi-pair cable may further comprise a separator disposed between the first and second twisted pairs. In another example, a ratio between a longest closing lay length and a shortest closing lay length in the cable is less than 1.65 inches. In another example, the cable further includes at least one additional twisted pair of conductors having a closing lay length that is greater than about 0.6 inches, and the cable lay length is less than about four inches.

  • Patent number: 7154043
    Abstract: Cables including a plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors and a core disposed between the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors so as to separate at least one of the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors from others of the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors. In one example, a cable may include a jacket having a plurality of protrusions. In another example, the core may include one or more pinch points to facilitate breaking of the core. In yet another example, two or more cables may be bundled, and possibly twisted, together to form a bundled cable.

  • Patent number: 7109424
    Abstract: Systems and methods for decreasing alien crosstalk use enhanced patch cords for introducing additional attenuation. The enhanced patch cords are preferably shielded to reduce alien crosstalk down their lengths and also attenuate signals passing therethrough to a greater extent than standard communication patch cords. The interaction of two enhanced patch cords results in two suppression steps for alien crosstalk and only one suppression step for intended signal passing through a communication cable.

  • Patent number: 7009105
    Abstract: A cable includes a plurality of twisted pairs of conductors in a dense hexagonal matrix-like form defining thereof horizontal rows and oblique columns with each other in a rectangular coordinate system wherein the twisted pairs in the same row have the same twist direction while having opposite twist directions with those in the two neighboring rows aside, and wherein for each row there is a ninety degrees phase shift between every adjacent two pairs and for each column there is a non-ninety degrees phase shift between every adjacent two pairs.

  • Patent number: 6951978
    Abstract: A conductive fabric including a plurality of conductive elements defining an alternating sequence of segments and cross-over regions. Within each of the segments, the conductive elements are arranged substantially in parallel; within each of the cross-over regions located between two adjacent segments, the conductive elements are permuted so as to allow the position occupied by at least one of the conductive elements to be different in each of the two adjacent segments. Between a pair of reference segments, each of the conductive elements experience coupling with respect to a subset of said conductive elements other than itself, the coupling experienced by each of the conductive elements being substantially identical.

  • Patent number: 6937109
    Abstract: A connector interface provides high-frequency differential connection to a balanced cable or balanced electronic device, such as a balanced probe. The connector interface includes two coaxial structures in a single connector. When the connector interface is used in a package launch, the closeness of the center pins of the two coaxial structures facilitate connection to a balanced circuit. When used in conjunction with a balanced vector network analyzer, the connector interface can simplify calibration and testing of devices by reducing the number of connections to the calibration standards or devices being tested, and provide improved measurement accuracy.
