Definitions
- An object of this invention is to provide an improved cable of the type concerned which whilst being reasonably easy to manufacture enables a high degree of immunity from cross-talk or cross-view to be obtained.
- the invention provides an electric wave communication cable comprising a group of pairs of twisted together insulated conductors characterised in that at least one of the interstitial spaces present within the circumscribing cylinder of at least one such pair is occupied solely by an electrically non-conducting nonmetallic member with the object of preventing displacement of said one pair with respect to an adjacent pair.
- the said member that is to say the displacementpreventing member, is preferably in filamentary form and extends alongside the twisted together pair of conductors with which it is associated for the entire length of this pair.
- this displacement-preventing member can be constituted by a string or thread of polyethelene or other suitable electrically insulating material.
- a plurality of pairs of twisted together insulated conductors are arranged in a compact symmertical group about a centre core element and both of the interstitial spaces present within the circumscribing cylinder of each such pair is occupied by a displacement-preventing member.
- the displacement-preventing member Whilst in general it will be found convenient for the displacement-preventing member to have a circular crosssectional shape, it is realised that occasions might arise where the member should have a cross-sectional shape other than circular, for example to ensure that a greater part of its surface coincides with the circumscribing cylinder of the pair with which it is associated.
- Each of the three pairs 8, 9, and 10 have electrical characteristics which render them suitable for the transmission of audio frequency signals and each of the pairs 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are suitable for the transmission of high frequency signals (say up to 15 mc./s.)
- the circumscribing cylinder of each of the high frequency pairs 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 has the same diameter as that of the circumscribing cylinder of the group of audio pairs 8, 9 and 10 in order to obtain the desired compact symmetrical arrangement in which the circumscribing cylinder of each of the pairs 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 is in contact with the circumscribing cylinder of an adjacent pair.
- the audio pairs 8, 9 and 10 comprise conductors of 0.020" diameter plain copper (6 /2 lb./rnile wire) each sheathed with an 0.0065 radial thickness of polyethelene and the conductors of the high frequency pairs are 20 S.W.G. plain copper each sheathed with a radial thickness of polyethelene such that the twisted pair has a characteristic impedance of approximately ohms.
- each of the interstices of each of the six high frequency pairs is provided with a displacement-preventing member which is in the form of a string or thread of solid dielectric material such as polyethelene.
- These strings are indicated in the drawing at 11.
- these strings 11 have a circular crosssection their diameter being not greater than /a of the diameter of the insulated conductors forming the high frequency pairs so that the strings do not extend beyond the confines of the circumscribing cylinders of these high frequency pairs.
- the group of six high frequency pairs with their displacement-preventing members is spiralled about the centre core element and the whole symmetrical assembly is wrapped with a layer 12 of suitable insulating material, such for example as one or more strips of Melinex.
- a layer 12 of suitable insulating material such for example as one or more strips of Melinex.
- This wrapped assembly is enclosed within a polyethelene sheath
- the strings 11 function to reduce the possibility of deformation or relative displacement of the high frequency pairs during manufacture of the cable and during subsequent use of the cable with the result that the precise symmetrical arrangement of the high frequency pairs is not only more readily attained during manufacture but is better maintained during subsequent handling of the cable, thus ensuring the attainment and maintenance of a high degree of immunity from cross-talk or crossview.
- Such a cable may be provided with a conductive screen around the wrapped assembly.
- a conductive screen may be formed in known manner by a helical or longitudinal tape of conductive material, such for example as an aluminium or copper tape, or by a conductive metallic braid, or by a coating of conductive, non-metallic material, such for example as carbon. This screen is located between a layer of polyethelene which surrounds the wrapped assembly and an outer sheath of polyethelene.
- the centre core element about which the group of high frequency pairs is arranged may comprise a single pair of twisted together insulated conductors
- An electric wave communication cable comprising a plurality of pairs of insulated conductors each twisted together at a pitch different from that of the others, the conductors of each pair forming a pair of interstices therebetween;
- an electrically non-conducting non-metallic member extending with one of said pairs of insulated conductors and positioned in one of the pair of interstices of said conductors for preventing displacement of said one of said pairs of conductors relative to adjacent others thereof.
- each of a pair of electrically nonconducting non-metallic members extending with one of said pairs of insulated conductors is positioned in -a corresponding one of the pair of interstices of said conductors for preventing displacement of said one of said pairs of conductors relative to adjacent others thereof.
- each of said non-metallic members comprises a filament of polyethylene extending for the length of said pair of conductors.
- each of a pair of electrically non-conducting non-metallic members extending with each of three alternate pairs of insulated conductors is positioned in a corresponding one of the pairs of interstices of each of said three alternate pairs of conductors for preventing displacement of each of said three pairs of conductors relative to adjacent others thereof.
- each of a pair of electrically nonconducting non-metallic members extending with each of the pairs of insulated conductors is positioned in a corresponding one of the pairs of interstices of each of said pairs of conductors for preventing displacement of each of said pairs of conductors relative to adjacent others thereof.
- each of said non-metallic members comprises a filament of polyethylene extending for the length of each of said pairs of conductors.
