Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a thin communication cable which is non-sensitive to moisture from an electrical point of view.
  • a communication cable is especially intended for use in frequencies up to and including the MHz-region.
  • the cable is provided with at least two electric conductors and a surrounding sheath.
  • a conventional field cable can get an electric line attenuation increase of more than 100% at for instance drizzle at the frequency 1.024 MHz which is considerably more than previously used frequencies.
  • the purpose of the invention is therefore in the first place to provide a communication cable, the electric line attenuation of which holds a low and continuous level also when the cable is subjected to moisture or varying external environment with respect to the weather conditions when using one and the same frequency.
  • This is provided in connection with a communication cable of small diameter of the kind mentioned in the introductory portion first of all thereby that the sheath is composed of three different, mutually combined layers - an internal layer, an external layer and an intermediate layer - and that the intermediate layer consists of a semiconductor material.
  • Said electrical line attenuation can be of the magnitude ⁇ 14 dB/km at 1.024 MHz.
  • the Fig. shown on the enclosed drawing discloses a section of a communication cable which is formed according to the principles of the invention.
  • the communication cable 10 in said Fig. is a so-called two-wire-cable but the invention can, of course, be applicable to a cable with two or more pairs of wires.
  • the communication cable comprises two similar separate electric conductors 12, each consisting of a polyethylene insulated tinned copper wire 14.
  • the cable also comprises two tension relieve elements 16, which in this case each consists of a polyethylene insulated stainless steel wire 18.
  • the two insulated conductors 12 and the two insulated steel wires 16 are twisted to a compact quad in a manner known per se.
  • the wires 16 and the conductors 12 are surrounded by a sheath which has been fill extruded around the whole quad.
  • the sheath is composed of three different mutually combined layers.
  • the layers consist of plastic, preferably polyethylene.
  • the internal layer 20 and the external layer 22 are non-conducting but the intermediate layer 24 is semi-conducting.
  • the assembly has been made by melting the three layers in one single moment but, of course, the use of glue or some other assembly method may be imagined.
  • the internal layer 20 of polyethylene can have a low density, whilst the external layer 22 shall consist of a durable plastic with a high density or another durable plastic, for instance polyamide.
  • the intermediate layer 24 should have a volume resistivity suitable for the line attenuation level, preferably of the magnitude 102 ⁇ cm, at at temperature of 20°. For the purpose intended it is suitable that the internal layer 20 is between four and six times thicker than the intermediate layer 24.
  • the sheath on the whole must be proportionately thin, for the exemplified two-wire-cable about 0.6 mm, in which case the intermediate layer 24 should have a thickness ⁇ 0.10 mm.
