Cable For High Speed Data Communications
First Claim
1. A method of manufacturing a cable for high speed data communications, the method comprising:
- wrapping, in a rotational direction at a wrap rate along and about a longitudinal axis, conductive shield material around a first inner conductor enclosed by a first dielectric layer and a second inner conductor enclosed by a second dielectric layer, including overlapping wraps of the conductive shield material along and about the longitudinal axis, an inner surface of the conductive shield material roughened to reduce non-linear attenuation of signals transmitted through the conductive shield material, the roughness of the inner surface of the conductive shield material varying in intensity along the conductive shield material.

Abstract
A cable for high speed data communications and methods for manufacturing such cable are disclosed, the cable including a first inner conductor enclosed by a first dielectric layer and a second inner conductor enclosed by a second dielectric layer. The cable also includes conductive shield material wrapped in a rotational direction at a wrap rate along and about the longitudinal axis around the inner conductors and the dielectric layers, including overlapped wraps of the conductive shield material along and about the longitudinal axis, an inner surface of the conductive shield material roughened to reduce non-linear attenuation of signals transmitted through the conductive shield material. Transmitting signals on the cable including transmitting a balanced signal characterized by a frequency in the range of 7-9 gigahertz on the cable.
