Data cable with cross-twist cabled core profile
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A cable for data transmission, the cable comprising:
- a cable core including a plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors including a first twisted pair and a second twisted pair, each twisted pair comprising two insulated conductors twisted together in a helical manner;
a jacket surrounding the cable core; and
an element disposed between the cable core and the jacket along a length of the cable, the element being separate from both the jacket and the cable core and providing an air gap between the jacket and the cable core;
wherein, for any transverse cross-section taken along a radius of the cable, the element contacts the cable jacket at only one location on an inner circumference of the jacket.

Abstract
Cables including a plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors and a jacket surrounding the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors, the jacket including a plurality of protrusions extending away from an inner circumferential surface of the jacket toward a center of the cable. The plurality of protrusions are configured so as to hold the plurality of twisted pairs away from the inner circumferential surface of the jacket, and may provide an air gap between the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors and the inner circumferential surface of the jacket.
