Flexible multi-parameter cable
First Claim
1. A flexible multi-parameter conductor cable having coaxially symmetric elongated zones for signal carrying conductor placement therein, comprising:
- an electrically conductive inner shield defining an electrically shielded inner longitudinal zone symmetrically disposed along and defining a center of said cable for containing at least one of a first type of signal carrying conductor; and
an electrically conductive outer shield spaced a given distance symmetrically around said inner shield so as to define an electrically shielded outer longitudinal zone symmetrically disposed about said inner longitudinal zone for containing a plurality of at least a second type of signal carrying insulated conductor arranged in a single layer adjacent one another as a group in said outer longitudinal zone, said second type of conductor having an electrically conductive outer jacket in electrical contact with said outer shield.

Abstract
A flexible multi-parameter conductor cable having coaxially symmetric elongated zones for signal carrying conductor placement therein, comprising an electrically conductive inner shield defining an electrically shielded inner longitudinal zone symmetrically disposed along and defining a center of said cable for containing at least one of a first type of signal carrying conductor, and an electrically conductive outer shield spaced a given distance symmetrically around said inner shield so as to define an electrically shielded outer longitudinal zone symmetrically disposed about said inner longitudinal zone for containing a plurality of at least a second type of signal carrying insulated conductor arranged in a single layer adjacent one another in said second longitudinal zone, said second type of conductor having an electrically conductive outer jacket in electrical contact with at least said outer shield.

9. A cable for use to connect insulated conductors from a plurality of different types of sensors to a monitoring device, wherein insulated conductors from a first type of said sensors are required to have signal handling characteristics which are different from insulated conductors from a second type of said sensors, said cable comprising:
-
a central portion including a plurality of insulated conductors of a first type adapted to be coupled to the insulated conductors from the first type of sensor, and longitudinally arranged so as to define a length of cable; an inner tubular sheath which closely surrounds the central portion and extends along the length of the cable; and an electrically conductive outer tubular sheath symmetrically disposed a given distance from said inner tubular sheath and extending along the length of the cable, with insulated conductors of a second type which have a low noise conductive outer sheath arranged adjacent one another in a single layer in a space between said inner and outer tubular sheaths with their outer jackets in electrical contact with said outer sheath and the insulated conductors of the second type adapted to be coupled to the insulated conductors from the second type of sensor. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
