A signal cable for an AC-coupled link, may include: a signal conductor; a dielectric surrounding the signal conductor; and a ground sheath having a conductive layer disposed at least partially around the conductor such that the dielectric is positioned between the ground sheath and the signal conductor, wherein the conductive layer comprises a first portion extending in a first direction along the cable and a second portion extending in a second direction, opposite the first direction, along the cable and further wherein the first and second portions of the conductive layer are separated from each other by a gap, the gap being dimensioned to provide a determined amount of capacitance in series in the ground sheath. The gap may form a complete separation between the first and second portions of the conductive layer.

A metal foil flaring apparatus includes a frame, a flaring mechanism mounted on the frame and having a flaring mouth adapted to open and close, and a first driver mounted on the frame and adapted to drive the flaring mouth to open and close. The flaring mouth has a cone shape gradually contracted toward a front end of the flaring mouth. The front end of the flaring mouth is adapted to be forwardly inserted in a first direction between an inner insulation layer of a cable and a metal foil wrapped around the inner insulation layer when the flaring mouth is closed, flaring the metal foil outwardly into the cone shape.

A coaxial cable is composed of a conductor, an insulator around the conductor, a shield layer around the insulator, and a sheath around the shield layer. The shield layer includes a lateral winding shielding portion with metal wires helically wrapped around the insulator, and a batch plating portion covering the lateral winding shielding portion. The shield layer includes a joining portion where adjacent metal wires are joined with each other with the batch plating portion at a gap between the adjacent metal wires, and inner peripheral portions where the metal wires are not being covered with the batch plating portion and plating layers are exposed. The joining portion is provided between adjacent inner peripheral portions. When an elemental analysis is performed in any analysis region having an area of 0.015 mm.sup.2 or more and 0.300 mm.sup.2 or less in an insulator-side surface of the shield layer which is stripped from the insulator, an area of a chlorine present region where chlorine is present in the analysis region is 5% or less of an area of the analysis region.

A cable includes at least one inner conductor and an insulation layer surrounding the inner conductor. An outer conductive layer surrounds the insulation layer and center conductor and includes a carbon nanotube substrate having opposing face surfaces and edges. One or more metals are applied as layer(s) to the opposing face surfaces and edges of the carbon nanotube substrate for forming a metallized carbon nanotube substrate. The metallized carbon nanotube substrate is wrapped to surround the insulation layer and center conductor for forming the outer conductive layer. Embodiments of the invention include a braid layer positioned over the outer conductive layer. The braid layer is woven from of plurality of carbon nanotube yarn elements made of a plurality of carbon nanotube filaments. The carbon nanotube filaments include a carbon nanotube core and metal applied as a layer on the carbon nanotube core for forming a metallized carbon nanotube filaments and yarns woven to form the braid layer.

The present invention relates to a coaxial cable processing device and a method for processing a coaxial cable. The coaxial cable processing device has a first clamping member provided with a first clamping part; a second clamping member provided with a second clamping part which is opposite to the first clamping part; and a first driving device configured to drive the first clamping member and/or the second clamping member to make the first clamping part and the second clamping part move towards or away from each other in a straight line. When the first clamping member and the second clamping member move towards each other and clamp a shielding layer of a coaxial cable, the first clamping part and the second clamping part respectively surround a part of the coaxial cable in a circumferential direction and apply radial pressure on the shielding layer to flare it. The coaxial cable processing device of the present invention can replace manual operation and has high degree of automation.
