Abstract
A data communication cable including a plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors, each twisted pair including two electrical conductors, each surrounded by an insulating layer and twisted together to form the twisted pair, and a jacket substantially enclosing the plurality of twisted pairs of insulating conductors, wherein the insulating layer includes a dielectric material including a plurality of micro-particles. In one example, the jacket material may also include a plurality of micro-particles. The micro-particles, in one example, are made of a non-burnable and/or non-smokeable material such as, for example, glass or ceramic.

13. A data communication cable comprising:
-
a plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors, each twisted pair comprising two electrical conductors, each surrounded by an insulating layer and twisted together to form the twisted pair; a jacket substantially enclosing the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors; and a separator disposed among the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors so as to separate at least one twisted pair of insulated conductors from others of the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors; wherein the jacket includes a dielectric material comprising a first plurality of micro-particles, the first plurality of micro-particles being substantially spherical in shape and having a diameter of between approximately 50 micrometers and 300 micrometers; and wherein the separator includes a dielectric material having solid glass micro-particles embedded therein. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
