Data cable for mechanically dynamic environments
First Claim
1. A multi-pair cable comprising:
- a plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors consisting of four twisted pairs of insulated conductors each having a closing lay length that is less than about 0.6 inches, the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors including a first twisted pair and a second twisted pair; and
a separator disposed between the first twisted pair and the second twisted pair;
wherein the plurality of twisted pairs are twisted together with a cable lay length to form the multi-pair cable, the cable lay being greater than about three inches.

Abstract
A multi-pair cable including a plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors, each having a closing lay length (twist lay length measured after the twisted pairs are cabled together with a particular cable lay) of less than about 0.6 inches. The plurality of twisted pairs are twisted together with a cable lay of greater than about three inches to form the cable. In some examples, the multi-pair cable may further comprise a separator disposed between the first and second twisted pairs. In another example, a ratio between a longest closing lay length and a shortest closing lay length in the cable is less than 1.65 inches. In another example, the cable further includes at least one additional twisted pair of conductors having a closing lay length that is greater than about 0.6 inches, and the cable lay length is less than about four inches.

16. A multi-pair cable comprising:
-
a plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors that consists of a first twisted pair of insulated conductors having a first closing lay length, a second twisted pair of insulated conductors having a second closing lay length, a third twisted pair of insulated conductors having a third closing lay length, and a fourth twisted pair of insulated conductors having a fourth closing lay length; a tape separator disposed among the first, second, third and fourth twisted pairs so as to separate the first twisted pair from the third twisted pair and arranged so as to not separate the first twisted pair from the second twisted pair; wherein each of the first, second, third and fourth closing lay lengths are less than about 0.6 inches; and wherein the first, second, third and fourth twisted pairs and the tape separator are cabled together to form the multi-pair cable with a cable lay length that is less than about five inches. - View Dependent Claims (17)
