Abstract

A signal transmission cable with a connector, that includes a shielded cable having a shielding layer and an insulating coating layer, which cover a periphery of a plurality of insulated wires, and a magnetic powder compound layer interposed between the shielding layer and the insulating coating layer; a connector which is electrically and mechanically connected to at least one end of the shielded cable, and which has a shielding metal cover extending from a housing part to a cable end, the housing part holding terminals to be connected to the insulated wires; and a closed magnetic path core which is fitted on the shielding layer with the insulating coating layer partly removed at the end of the shielded cable. The shielding layer is folded back so as to cover outside of the closed magnetic path core and a tip portion of the shielding layer is connected to the shielding metal cover.

Claims

1. A signal transmission cable with a connector, comprising:

a shielded cable having a plurality of insulated wires, a shielding layer, and an insulating coating layer, said shielding layer and insulating coating layer covering a periphery of said insulated wires, said shielded cable further having a magnetic powder compound layer interposed between the shielding layer and the insulating coating layer;

a connector which is electrically and mechanically connected to at least one end of said shielded cable, and which has a shielding metal cover extending from a housing part to a cable end, the housing part holding terminals to be connected to said insulated wires; and

a closed magnetic path core which is fitted on a separated part of said insulating coating layer at the end of said shielded cable,

wherein and end of said shielding layer is folded back and fully covers and directly contacts outside of said closed magnetic path core so as to form a coil of one turn, an insulating tape is wound around said shielding layer in a peripheral portion of said closed magnetic path core, and a tip portion of said shielding layer is connected to said shielding metal cover in a state where said closed magnetic path core is housed in said shielding metal cover.

2. A signal transmission cable with a connector according to claim 1, wherein said closed magnetic path core is fitted on a part of said shielding layer, in which said insulating coating layer and said magnetic powder compound layer at the end of said shielded cable are separated.

3. A signal transmission cable with a connector according to claim 1, wherein a metal tape is wound around the Lip portion of said shielding layer, which is folded back to be laid on said insulating coating layer to fix the tip portion, the tip portion of said shielding layer is connected to said shielding metal cover through the metal tape, and at least a base side of said shielding metal cover is resin-molded.

4. A signal transmission cable with a connector according to claim 1, wherein said closed magnetic path core is a ferrite toroidal core.

5. A signal transmission cable with a connector according to claim 4, wherein said toroidal core has a divided structure.

6. A signal transmission cable with a connector according to claim 1, wherein said closed magnetic path core is a toroidal core having an insulating coat provided on its surface.

7. A signal transmission cable with a connector according to claim 6, wherein said toroidal core has a divided structure.

8. A signal transmission cable with a connector, according to claim 1, wherein said closed magnetic path core is a toroidal core comprising a rolled magnetic foil and an insulating coat provided on its outer surface.

9. A signal transmission cable with a connector, according to claim 1, wherein said closed magnetic path core is a toroidal core obtained by rolling a magnetic foil having an insulating coat provided on its surface.

10. A signal transmission cable with a connector according to claim 1, wherein a pair of said connectors is connected to said shielded cable at each end thereof so as to form the same electrical and mechanical connection structure.
