Description
La présente invention est relative à un câble pour la transmission de données comprenant un écran conducteur pour protéger un, ou plusieurs, conducteur(s) contre des perturbations électromagnétiques extérieures.The present invention relates to a cable for data transmission comprising a conductive screen to protect one or more conductor (s) against external electromagnetic disturbances.
La transmission de données s'effectue habituellement à l'aide de conducteurs électriques isolés entourés par un écran ou plusieurs écrans métalliques, l'écran (ou les écrans) étant enfermé(s) dans une gaine.Data transmission usually takes place using conductors isolated electrical devices surrounded by a screen or several metallic screens, the screen (or screens) being enclosed in a sheath.
L'écran isole les conducteurs des perturbations électromagnétiques extérieures. On obtient la meilleure protection quand l'écran conducteur est continu, sans ouverture. Mais les techniques usuelles de fabrication obligent à utiliser un ou plusieurs rubans pour former l'écran, ce qui entraíne nécessairement des ouvertures qui limitent l'efficacité de l'écran aux fréquences les plus élevées.The screen isolates the conductors from external electromagnetic interference. We obtains the best protection when the conductive screen is continuous, without opening. But the usual manufacturing techniques require the use of one or more ribbons to form the screen, which necessarily leads to openings which limit the effectiveness of the screen to highest frequencies.
Les meilleurs écrans protègent de façon efficace jusqu'à des fréquences de l'ordre de 30 à 40 Mhz. Jusqu'à présent les meilleurs résultats sont obtenus à l'aide d'un ruban métallique disposé en long dont les bords longitudinaux se recouvrent. Un ruban en long donne de meilleurs résultats qu'un ruban disposé en hélice car la longueur sur laquelle s'étend l'ouverture est plus faible.The best screens effectively protect up to frequencies of the order of 30 to 40 Mhz. So far the best results are achieved using a ribbon metal arranged in length whose longitudinal edges overlap. A long ribbon gives better results than a ribbon arranged in a helix because the length over which extends the opening is smaller.
L'augmentation des débits d'information dans les câbles amène à augmenter la fréquence limite en deçà de laquelle les câbles sont protégés vis-à-vis de l'extérieur.The increase in information rates in cables leads to an increase in the limit frequency below which the cables are protected from the outside.
Ainsi, le brevet US-4 510 346 propose un câble comportant au moins un conducteur électrique entouré par un écran de protection contre les perturbations électromagnétiques à hautes fréquences, l'écran comportant, disposés en long, un ruban intérieur et un ruban extérieur présentant chacun une couche conductrice recouverte par une couche isolante ; le ruban intérieur a sa couche conductrice tournée vers l'extérieur et le ruban extérieur a sa couche conductrice tournée vers l'intérieur de manière que ces couches conductrices soient appliquées l'une contre l'autre ; au moins l'un de ces deux rubans présente des bords longitudinaux en recouvrement.Thus, patent US-4 510 346 proposes a cable comprising at least one electrical conductor surrounded by a disturbance protection screen electromagnetic at high frequencies, the screen having, arranged in length, a ribbon interior and an exterior tape each having a conductive layer covered by a insulating layer; the inner tape has its conductive layer facing outwards and the tape outside has its conductive layer facing inwards so that these layers are applied against each other; at least one of these two ribbons has longitudinal overlapping edges.
Ce même document divulgue en outre de compléter le système d'écrans par un troisième écran appliqué sur les deux précédents et constitué par un treillis ou un ruban posé hélicoïdalement, pour une efficacité accrue du câble aux hautes fréquences.This same document further discloses supplementing the screen system with a third screen applied to the previous two and consisting of a trellis or a ribbon laid helically, for increased cable efficiency at high frequencies.
Si le système d'écrans d'un tel câble protège efficacement des perturbations électromagnétiques jusqu'à des fréquences très élevées (au moins 100 Mhz), il pose néanmoins un problème majeur qui est celui de la dénudabilité. On comprend bien en effet que ce système d'écrans empêche d'accéder facilement à la partie conductrice de l'écran et donc rend le raccordement du câble délicat à réaliser. If the screen system of such a cable effectively protects against electromagnetic interference up to very high frequencies (at least 100 MHz), it nevertheless poses a major problem which is that of stripping. It is well understood indeed that this system of screens prevents access easily to the conductive part of the screen and therefore makes the connection of the delicate cable to make.
Par ailleurs, le document US - A 3 321 571 divulgue un câble téléphonique comportant un ensemble de conducteurs isolés individuellement, qui est entouré successivement de rubans papier, d'un premier ruban laminé plastique / métal / plastique ayant ses bords soudés en long, puis d'un deuxième ruban laminé plastique / métal / plastique ayant également ses bords soudés en long, et enfin d'une gaine extérieure extrudée. Un tel câble est rendu fiable en améliorant l'étanchéité grâce au système de gainage préconisé, qui inclut les deux rubans soudés en long et prévus sous la gaine extérieure extrudée. Furthermore, document US-A 3,321,571 discloses a telephone cable comprising a set of individually insulated conductors which is surrounded successively paper ribbons, a first laminated plastic / metal ribbon / plastic having its edges welded lengthwise, then a second laminated tape plastic / metal / plastic also having its edges welded lengthwise, and finally an extruded outer sheath. Such a cable is made reliable by improving sealing thanks to the recommended sheathing system, which includes the two tapes welded lengthwise and provided under the extruded outer sheath.
La présente invention a pour but de résoudre ce problème en proposant un câble à la fois efficace aux très hautes fréquences, typiquement supérieures à 100 Mhz , et plus facile à dénuder que les câbles connus efficaces à ces fréquences.The present invention aims to solve this problem by providing a cable to both effective at very high frequencies, typically above 100 MHz, and easier to strip only the known effective cables at these frequencies.
La présente invention propose à cet effet un câble comportant au moins un
conducteur électrique entouré par un écran de protection contre les perturbations
électromagnétiques à hautes fréquences, l'écran comportant, disposés en long, un ruban
intérieur comprenant une couche conductrice et un ruban extérieur comprenant une couche
conductrice recouverte par une couche isolante, la couche conductrice du ruban extérieur
étant tournée vers l'intérieur de sorte que les couches conductrices respectives des rubans
intérieur et extérieur soient appliquées l'une contre l'autre, et au moins l'un des deux rubans
présentant des bords longitudinaux en recouvrement,
caractérisé en ce que la matière isolante de la couche isolante du ruban
extérieur est collée à la paroi intérieure d'une gaine externe.The present invention provides for this purpose a cable comprising at least one electrical conductor surrounded by a screen for protection against electromagnetic disturbances at high frequencies, the screen comprising, arranged in length, an inner tape comprising a conductive layer and an outer tape comprising a conductive layer covered by an insulating layer, the conductive layer of the outer tape being turned inward so that the respective conductive layers of the inner and outer tapes are applied one against the other, and at least one of the two ribbons with longitudinal overlapping edges,
characterized in that the insulating material of the insulating layer of the outer tape is bonded to the inner wall of an outer sheath.
Le câble selon l'invention est protégé contre des perturbations pouvant approcher 1 GHz. De plus, le câble selon l'invention est particulièrement simple à connecter car, lors de l'ouverture de la gaine, le ruban extérieur reste collé à cette dernière, et la couche conductrice du ruban intérieur reste seul apparente. Le raccordement du câble selon l'invention à un connecteur est donc facilité.The cable according to the invention is protected against disturbances which may approach 1 GHz. In addition, the cable according to the invention is particularly simple to connect because, when the opening of the sheath, the outer tape remains glued to the latter, and the conductive layer of the interior tape remains visible alone. The connection of the cable according to the invention to a connector is therefore facilitated.
Avantageusement, la zone des bords longitudinaux du ruban intérieur est recouverte par une zone continue du ruban extérieur. Ceci permet d'assurer une bonne continuité électrique de l'écran. De préférence dans ce cas, les zones des bords longitudinaux des deux rubans sont à l'opposé l'une de l'autre.Advantageously, the area of the longitudinal edges of the inner tape is covered by a continuous area of the outer tape. This ensures good continuity screen. Preferably in this case, the areas of the longitudinal edges of the two ribbons are opposite each other.
Il est préférable que le ruban intérieur soit également constitué par une couche conductrice recouverte d'une couche isolante, en polyester par exemple. De cette manière les rubans intérieur et extérieur peuvent coulisser correctement sur des guides au cours de la fabrication. De cette manière le risque de détérioration par le frottement est minimisé.It is preferable that the inner ribbon also consists of a layer conductive covered with an insulating layer, in polyester for example. In this way the interior and exterior ribbons can slide correctly on guides during the manufacturing. In this way the risk of deterioration by friction is minimized.
En outre ce ruban extérieur peut être collé à la gaine. A cet effet, dans un exemple, le matériau de la gaine est extrudé à chaud à une température suffisante pour que la matière plastique du ruban extérieur se ramollisse et colle à la surface intérieure de la gaine.In addition, this outer tape can be glued to the sheath. To this end, in an example, the sheath material is hot extruded at a temperature sufficient for the material plastic outer tape softens and sticks to the inner surface of the sheath.
Un fil de continuité électrique peut être disposé entre les deux écrans. De cette manière le contact entre le fil de continuité électrique et le métal de l'un des deux rubans, de préférence le métal du ruban intérieur, est amélioré. On a aussi constaté une amélioration de la protection contre les perturbations à basse fréquence.An electrical continuity wire can be placed between the two screens. Of this way the contact between the electrical continuity wire and the metal of one of the two tapes, preferably the metal of the inner tape is improved. There has also been an improvement in protection against low frequency disturbances.
Pour réaliser le câble selon l'invention, on peut par exemple extruder à chaud la gaine extérieure à une température telle qu'elle colle à la couche isolante du ruban extérieur. To make the cable according to the invention, it is possible, for example, to hot extrude the outer sheath at a temperature such that it sticks to the insulating layer of the outer tape.
Par ailleurs, on peut effectuer le préformage des rubans intérieur et extérieur dans un même guide. De cette manière les deux rubans ne se déplacent pas l'un par rapport à l'autre, ce qui évite les frottements qui pourraient être dommageables entre la couche conductrice du ruban intérieur et la couche conductrice du ruban extérieur.In addition, the interior and exterior ribbons can be preformed in the same guide. In this way the two ribbons do not move one relative to the other, which avoids the friction which could be damaging between the layer conductive inner tape and the conductive layer of the outer tape.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention apparaítront avec la description de certains de ses modes de réalisation, celle-ci étant effectuée en se référant aux dessins ci-annexés sur lesquels :

- la figure 2 est un diagramme montrant l'effet de l'invention.

- Figure 2 is a diagram showing the effect of the invention.
Le câble 10 représenté sur la figure 1 est destiné à transporter des données à haut
débit, notamment pour les applications informatiques.The
Dans cet exemple le câble comporte deux quartes 12 et 14, chaque quarte étant
formée par un ensemble de quatre conducteurs isolés, par exemple 121, 122, 123 et 124
pour la quarte 12.In this example, the cable comprises two
Selon l'invention on prévoit un écran protégeant les conducteurs contre les perturbations extérieures qui est formé de deux rubans, dont l'un, 18, entoure l'autre, 16.According to the invention there is provided a screen protecting the conductors against external disturbance which is formed by two ribbons, one of which, 18, surrounds the other, 16.
Chaque ruban a deux couches, à savoir une couche d'aluminium de 25 µm
d'épaisseur et une couche de polyester de 12 µm d'épaisseur.Each ribbon has two layers, namely a 25 µm aluminum layer
thick and a layer of
La couche 20 de polyester du ruban intérieur 16 est tournée vers l'intérieur, c'est-à-dire
vers les quartes 12 et 14, tandis que la couche conductrice 22 de ce même ruban
intérieur 16 est tournée vers l'extérieur.The
Le ruban intérieur 16 est disposé en long, c'est-à-dire que ses arêtes longitudinales
24 et 26 sont selon la longueur du câble et les bords longitudinaux 241 et 261 du ruban, qui
se terminent par lesdites arêtes longitudinales 24 et 26, se recouvrent et restent d'un côté du
câble.The
Autour du ruban 16 est disposé le ruban extérieur 18 de constitution et de
dimensions identiques à celles du ruban 16. Cependant, sa couche 30 en polyester est
tournée vers l'extérieur, et sa couche conductrice 32 est donc tournée vers l'intérieur. Le ruban
18 est, comme le ruban intérieur 16, disposé en long, avec des bords longitudinaux 341 et
361 en recouvrement à l'opposé des bords en recouvrements 241 et 261 du ruban intérieur
16.Around the

Selon l'invention, la couche 30 de polyester, tournée vers l'extérieur, du ruban
extérieur 18 est collée à la face interne de la gaine 42. Ce collage est effectué lors de
l'extrusion de la gaine. L'extrusion est effectuée à une température suffisamment élevée pour
que le polyester 30 du ruban extérieur 18 se ramollisse et colle ainsi à la gaine 42.According to the invention, the
Lorsque l'on désire raccorder le câble à un connecteur on enlève la gaine 42 à
l'extrémité correspondante. Le ruban intérieur 16 reste alors seul apparent. Sa couche
conductrice 22, tournée vers l'extérieur, permet un raccordement aisé.When it is desired to connect the cable to a connector, the
Pour la fabrication du câble les deux rubans 16 et 18 sont préformés par les mêmes
guides (non montrés).For the manufacture of the cable the two
Par ailleurs, au cours de la fabrication, avant le collage, ce sont les faces en polyester des rubans qui sont en contact avec les guides. De cette manière le risque de détérioration par le frottement est minimisé.Furthermore, during manufacture, before bonding, these are the faces in polyester ribbons that are in contact with the guides. In this way the risk of deterioration by friction is minimized.
Le contact de la couche conductrice 32 du ruban extérieur contre la couche
conductrice 22 du ruban intérieur minimise le risque d'apparition d'ouverture pour les
perturbations électromagnétiques extérieures. Les positions opposées des bords en
recouvrement sont aussi particulièrement favorables à la minimisation des perturbations.
Pour cette raison, il est préférable que la zone des bords longitudinaux en recouvrement, 241
et 261, du ruban intérieur 16 soit recouverte par une zone continue 44 du ruban extérieur.Contact of the

performances du câble sont d'autant meilleures que l'impédance Z est faible. On voit que
l'impédance Z, représentée par la courbe 50, présente un minimum 52 pour 80 MHz
environ et que sa valeur est satisfaisante dans toute la gamme de mesure, c'est-à-dire jusqu'à
500 MHz environ.FIG. 2 is a diagram on which the frequencies F, in MHz, have been plotted
