High performance support-separators for communications cables providing shielding for minimizing alien crosstalk
First Claim
1. A high performance multimedia communications cable comprising:
- at least one interior support, said support comprising a central region and outwardly extended portions extending from said central region, said extended portions providing a plurality of channels for receiving and providing spacing among electrical conductor cables and data transmission media disposed individually in the high performance multimedia communications cable;
wherein at least one of said plurality of channels comprises at least one data transmission cable and at least one other channel comprises at least one limited power electrical conductor cable, wherein said at least one limited power electrical conductor cable is capable of carrying up to 30 watts of power and configured to carry an operating voltage from a power source to one or more power media dependent interface devices connected to the communications cable; and
wherein said at least one interior support further comprises a polymeric material and a plurality of additives distributed within said polymeric material.

Abstract
The present invention includes a high performance communications cable that provides for wireless fidelity applications and includes core support-separators having profiles which define a clearance to maintain spacing and/or channel between the transmission media and power conductors. The core may be formed of a conductive or insulative material that have, principally, polymer blends that include olefin and/or fluoropolymer and/or chlorofluoropolymer based resins. The polymer blends can also be utilized for fabricating shielding materials. The core support-separators have both a central region as well as a plurality of shaped sections that extend outward from the central region that are either solid or partially solid, foamed or foamed with a solid skin surface.
