Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a transmission unit, and more particularly to a transmission unit that includes conductors surrounded by sheaths of different dielectric coefficients, so that a difference in dielectric property exists between the conductors to enable reduction of crosstalk occurred during high-speed signal transmission over the transmission unit.
  • VCD video compact disk
  • DVD digital versatile disk
  • HDTV high-definition digital television
  • video call and video conference all have been introduced into people's daily life.
  • Most of the currently available audio video (AV) systems process voice and image information in a completely digitalized manner to meet the newest technological trend.
  • Different specifications and standards for AV systems have been constantly established, revised and updated, so that the AV systems can provide audio and visual signals with higher quality and can be applied to more different application fields to meet consumers' demands.
  • Digital signals must be transmitted at further increased speed without the need of compression.
  • HDMI high-definition multimedia interface
  • DVI digital visual interface
  • DisplayPort Through digitized transmission of signals via these interfaces, images of enhanced quality can be displayed on electronic devices.
  • the above-mentioned interfaces can be electrically connected to an adapter, a set-top box, a DVD player, a personal computer, a video game console, an integrated amplifier, a digital stereo system, etc. to enable long distance transmission of high quality signals at high speed, and are therefore widely welcome among consumers and can be seen everywhere now.
  • the use of these standardized digital video interfaces to transmit video signals at high speed can provide better visual effect.
  • Most cables for DisplayPort connector, DVI connector and HDMI connector are round cables or flat cables. Inside these cables, there is a plurality of metal conductors, which are respectively surrounded by an insulating layer to prevent short circuit between the metal signal conductors. Each signal pair is further surrounded by a metal shield to prevent crosstalk between the signal pair. While the metal shield can reduce the crosstalk between the signal pair, it makes the whole cable stiff, heavy and inconvenient for use. Further, to connect the cable to the terminals of the connector, it is necessary to strip a length of the metal shield from the signal pair. By doing this, scraps would be produced. Moreover, cables with conductors surrounded by metal shields could not be used with piercing terminals to enable automated assembling of cables.
  • the transmission unit with reduced crosstalk signal includes a first conductor group, which includes at least one first conductor surrounded by a first sheath and at least one second conductor surrounded by a second sheath.
  • the first and the second conductor are axially arranged corresponding to one another.
  • the first sheath has a dielectric coefficient higher than that of the second sheath.
  • the transmission unit including the first conductor surrounded by the high-dielectric first sheath can reduce the crosstalk occurred during high-speed signal transmission over the transmission unit.
  • Fig. 1 is a cross sectional view of a transmission unit with reduced crosstalk signal according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
  • the present invention is also briefly referred as a transmission unit and generally denoted by reference numeral 1 herein.
  • the transmission unit 1 of the present invention includes a first conductor group 11.
  • the first conductor group 11 includes at least one first conductor 111 surrounded by a first sheath 1111 and at least one second conductor 112 surrounded by a second sheath 1121.
  • the first and the second conductor 111, 112 are axially parallelly arranged side by side.
  • the first sheath 1111 has a dielectric coefficient higher than that of the second sheath 1121.
  • the first conductor 111 is a signal conductor
  • the second conductor 112 can be a signal conductor or an earth conductor.
  • Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view of a transmission unit 1 according to a second embodiment of the present invention.
  • the transmission unit 1 includes a first conductor group 11, a second conductor group 12 and a third conductor group 13. Since the first conductor group 11 is structurally similar to that in the first embodiment, it is not repeated described in details herein.
  • the second conductor group 12 includes at least one third conductor 121 surrounded by a first sheath 1111 and at least one fourth conductor 122 surrounded by a second sheath 1121.
  • the third conductor group 13 includes at least one fifth conductor 131 surrounded by a first sheath 1111 and at least one sixth conductor 132 surrounded by a second sheath 1121.
  • the first, second and third conductor groups 11, 12, 13 can be differential signal pairs.
  • the second embodiment there is a difference between the dielectric values of the first sheath 1111 and the second sheath 1121. Since a high-dielectric material has good ability to concentrate electric field, the use of a low-dielectric material for one conductor in each of the signal pairs can reduce electric field concentration and accordingly, reduce crosstalk noise interference between the signal pairs.
  • Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view of a transmission unit 1 according to a third embodiment of the present invention.

  • the transmission unit 1 includes differential signal pairs and earth conductors. There is a difference between the dielectric values of the first and second sheaths 1111, 1121 and the third sheath 1113.
