Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cable having a barrier layer formed of a substantially non-flammable material. More specifically, the barrier layer of non-flammable material is provided between the shield and core of the cable.
- Conventional communication cables for both riser and plenum applications typically include a number of insulated conductors that are bundled together or twisted together into pairs and surrounded by an outer jacket. Crosstalk or interference often occurs because of electromagnetic coupling between the conductors within the cable or other components in the cable, thereby degrading the cable's electrical performance.
- Barriers are often used, particularly in plenum applications, to isolate the pairs of conductors, thereby reducing interference.
- Such barriers are normally made of polyester (PET) or fluoropolymers like FEP to meet industry standards, such as the requirements of NFPA 262 in the case of plenum cables.
- PET polyester
- fluoropolymers like FEP tend to drip in the burn chamber. When these materials drip and hit the floor of the burn chamber, they smoke. Such smoke is undesirable, particularly in the plenum applications, and makes it more difficult to meet the industry requirements.
- fluoropolymers are typically halogenated and release toxic halogens when burned. Also, fluoropolymers are typically more expensive due to material costs and high demand.
- the present invention provides a cable that comprises a core that has at least one conductor, a dielectric barrier layer that surrounds the core, and a conductive shield that surrounds the core.
- the dielectric barrier layer is formed of a substantially nonflammable material and is devoid of fluoropolymers.
- the present invention may also provide a cable that comprises a core that includes a plurality of twisted pairs of conductors and a separator that separates the plurality of twisted pairs of conductors.
- a dielectric barrier layer surrounds the core and is formed of a substantially non-flammable, low smoke, zero halogen material and is devoid of fluoropolymers.
- a conductive shield surrounds the dielectric barrier layer and an outer jacket surrounds the conductive shield.
- the present invention relates to a cable 10 that has an improved electrical performance because it incorporates a substantially non-flammable barrier layer 20.
- the barrier layer 20 surrounds a core 30 of conductors 32 of the cable 10 and separates the core 30 from a conductive shield 40 of the cable.
- the conductors 32 may be twisted into pairs and separated by a separator component 50, as seen in the Figure.
- the separator component 50 may be formed with any shape which accomplishes the desired separation properties.
- the shield 40 may be any conventional shield layer either continuously conductive or a discontinuous layer comprised of conductive segments.
- An outer jacket 60 may surround the core 20, barrier layer 30 and the shield 40.
- the outer jacket 60 may be formed of any conventional insulation, such as PVC.
- the barrier layer 20 is preferably formed of a material that is substantially nonflammable, and more preferably a material that is low-smoke and zero halogen (LSZH) to reduce the toxicity of the cable when burned.
- LSZH low-smoke and zero halogen
- Zero halogen means the material is non- halogenated and/or total ppm of accidental trace halogens as defined by applicable industry standards for zero halogen materials.
- Exemplary non-flammable materials of the barrier layer 20 include fiberglass, individual glass fibers bunched together, fiberglass yarns, fiberglass strands, fiberglass rovings, chopped fiberglass, woven fiberglass tapes or sheets, and the like. Those materials are desirable because they have optimal burn properties while also allowing the barrier layer to maintain flexibility. Other suitable non-flammable materials can also be employed, such as basalt fibers, yarns, woven tapes, high temperature ceramic oxide fibers, yarns and woven tapes, other ceramic mica tapes, and the like. Those materials are desirable because of their high temperature performance in cable applications.
- the barrier layer 20 may be coated with a flame retardant material, that is preferably LSZH, to further aid the burn performance of the barrier layer 20 and the cable 10.
- the barrier layer 20 is preferably substantially devoid of any fluoroploymers, thereby significantly reducing material in the barrier layer that drips and smokes in the burn chamber. That improves the smoke performance in the plenum cable burn testing, for example, per NFPA 262.
- the present invention allows for the cable core 30 to be separated from the shield 40 by a non-flammable barrier layer, such as an inorganic fiberglass tape for example, that has a suitable dielectric constant. That helps improve the attenuation performance of the cable 10 by providing spacing between the twisted pairs of conductors 32 in the core 30 and the shield 40 as well as providing a dielectric barrier between the core 30 and the shield 40.
- the present invention also aids in improving the burn and smoke performance of the cable by removing fluoropolymers from the cable construction which drip and smoke compared to the fiberglass material which will not melt or drip.
- halogenated materials are preferably removed from the cable which reduces the toxicity of the cable.
