A twisted pair cabling line and method comprising, a source of at least two twisted pairs, a source of planar shield, a cabling station, that combines the twisted pairs and the shield into a non-twisted cable, a twisting station that twists the cable that is produced by the cabling station, a twisting space between the cabling station and the twisting station, in which the non-twisted cable produced by the cabling station is twisted, to thereby form the shield into a figure-8 cross section having two loops, with a twisted pair in each loop, and a cable storage station.

[Problem] Objects of the invention are to provide a cable assembly with reduced characteristic impedance at a protruding end portion of a first wire of a cable and configured for easy manufacture, and to provide a method for manufacturing the cable assembly.

[Configuration] A cable assembly A1 includes a terminal 400a, a cable 100, and an electroconductive member 200. The cable 100 includes an outer insulator 100, a shield conductor 120 inside the outer insulator 110, and at least one first wire 130a being a signal wire inside the shield conductor 120. The first wire 130a includes a protruding portion Pa protruding in the Y-Y′ direction from the shield conductor 120 and the outer insulator 110. The electroconductive member 200 is an electroconductive plate or electroconductive tape wound around at least a part in the Y-Y′ direction of the protruding portion Pa.

A cable includes a first metal conductor, a first insulator, a second metal conductor and a second insulator. The first insulator is at least partially wrapped on the first metal conductor. The second insulator is at least partially wrapped on the second metal conductor. The first metal conductor is adapted to transmit a first signal. The second metal conductor is adapted to transmit a second signal. The cable also includes an intermediate layer material at least partially wound on the first insulator and the second insulator. A dielectric constant of the intermediate layer material is lower than that of the first insulator, and the dielectric constant of the intermediate layer material is lower than that of the second insulator. With this arrangement, the cable of the present disclosure is capable of realizing low mode conversion and improving the high frequency characteristics.

This document describes techniques and devices for a rotation input device for a capacitive sense cord. A cord may be constructed that includes a cable, a plurality of sensing wires, and a rotation input device. The sensing wires are twisted around one another within a cable jacket of the cable throughout an insensitive portion of the cord that is insensitive to touch input. The rotation input device includes the plurality of sensing wires disposed proximate to a surface of the cord and positioned lengthwise along the cord to provide a capacitively sensitive portion of the cord. The plurality of sensing wires are independently sensitive to touch input. Also, the rotation input device is configured to enable rotational input based on a pattern of change in capacitance values corresponding to at least a subset of the plurality of sensing wires in the rotation input device.

A twin axial cable includes a pair of wires each with a core conductor; a first dielectric extruded around each of the core conductors, said pair of conductors with the first dielectrics being intimately side by side positioned with each other in a transverse direction; a second dielectric different form the first dielectric and extruded around the first dielectrics; a shielding layer enclosing the second dielectric; and a heat seal PET layer enclosing the shielding layer. A coupling ratio which is calculated by a value of an even mode characteristic impedance subtracted an odd mode characteristic impedance divided by a value of the even mode characteristic impedance pulsed the odd mode characteristic impedance is between 15% to 30%.

A self-supporting overhead telecommunication/power cable includes a supporting portion and a transmission portion mutually arranged according to a figure-8 configuration. The transmission portion includes at a central position thereof, an optical fibre conductor and, at a radially outer position with respect to the optical fibre conductor, electrical conductors stranded around the optical fibre conductor. Preferably, the electrical conductors are grouped into sub-units which are stranded around the optical fibre conductor to provide a mechanical protection thereto.

A data cable has a specially arranged and embodied shielding foil. The shielding foil surrounds an insulated conductor and has multiple layers, including a conductive layer and at least one carrier layer on which the conductive layer is applied. The shielding foil is folded and has a fold around which the conductive layer is guided so that the conductive layer forms an upper face and a lower face. The shielding foil is wound around the insulated conductor. The shielding foil has multiple sequential windings that overlap in an overlap region in which the upper face in one of the multiple sequential windings makes contact with the lower face of a following one of the multiple sequential windings so as to form a continuous shielding configuration.

A shielded electrical cable includes conductor sets extending along a length of the cable and spaced apart from each other along a width of the cable. First and second shielding films are disposed on opposite sides of the cable and include cover portions and pinched portions arranged such that, in transverse cross section, the cover portions of the films in combination substantially surround each conductor set. An adhesive layer bonds the shielding films together in the pinched portions of the cable. A transverse bending of the cable at a cable location of no more than 180 degrees over an inner radius of at most 2 mm causes a cable impedance of the selected insulated conductor proximate the cable location to vary by no more than 2 percent from an initial cable impedance measured at the cable location in an unbent configuration.
