A composite cable that enables to easily restrain falling-off of separator dust at the time of peeling off a sheath, in comparison with composite cables in the conventional art. The composite cable includes a plurality of wires, a separator that covers the outer circumference of the plurality of wires all together, a sheath that covers the outer circumference of the separator, and an inclusion that is interposed between the separator and the sheath. The separator has a base layer composed of a polymer and an adhesive layer formed on the surface of the base layer on the inclusion side. In the composite cable, the adhesive layer is adhered to the inclusion.

A new dielectric material for a communication cable has a dielectric base with strength members embedded therein. By a new process, vacuum voids are formed in the dielectric base and at least partially contain or abut the strength members. The material is particularly well suited for a first dielectric tape, where the cable includes a first insulated conductor, the first dielectric tape and a second insulated conductor, with the first insulated conductor being twisted with the second insulated conductor with the first dielectric tape residing between the first insulated conductor and the second insulated conductor. The material is also suitable for a separator of the cable serving to separate twisted pairs from each other within the cable, as well as other components of the cable, such as an insulation layer of one or more of the insulated conductors of the twisted pairs.

A high frequency signal transmission cable includes a conductor, an insulator provided over a periphery of the conductor, a plating layer provided over a periphery of the insulator, and a sheath provided over a periphery of the plating layer. A crack suppressing layer includes a non-cross-linked polyethylene is provided between the insulator and the plating layer, in such a manner as to remain in contact with the insulator while being provided with the plating layer over an entire periphery of a roughened outer surface of the crack suppressing layer. The crack suppressing layer is unadhered to the insulator. The plating layer is adhered to the crack suppressing layer. The crack suppressing layer suppresses an occurrence of a cracking in the plating layer by bending together with the plating layer while being integral and moving with the plating layer in a longitudinal direction of the cable.

Three-wire communication cables are useful for operation with a vehicle as vehicular data communication cables. The cables include a cable core formed of three insulated wires twisted together at a defined pitch and a jacket surrounding the cable core. The cables can meet Mobile Industry Processor Interface (“MIPI”) C-PHY℠ standard (Version 1.2) as well as International Standards Organization (“ISO”) 6722-1 (2011) and 14572 (2011).

A cable is composed of a linear shape conductor, a first electrical insulating member coating a periphery of the conductor, a shield made of a plating layer coating a surface of the first electrical insulating member, a second electrical insulating member coating a surface of the shield, and an exposed shield portion provided in at least one end portion of the cable with the second electrical insulating member being removed therefrom and the shield being exposed therein during termination. An adhesion strength between the shield and the second electrical insulating member in the exposed shield portion is lower than an adhesion strength between the shield and the second electrical insulating member in an other part of the surface of the shield.

Twisted pair communication cables that include reduced or minimal use of colorant may include a plurality of twisted pairs of individually insulated conductors, and the respective insulation formed around each conductor included in the plurality of twisted pairs may include one or more polymeric materials that are not blended or compounded with any colorant. A plurality of dielectric separators may be provided including a dielectric separator respectively positioned between the individually insulated conductors of each of the plurality of twisted pairs. Physical indicia may be selectively formed on at least two of the plurality of dielectric separators, and the physical indicia may facilitate identification of the plurality of twisted pairs. A jacket may be formed around the plurality of twisted pairs and the plurality of dielectric separators.

A telecommunications cable includes a plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors. The plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors extends substantially along a longitudinal axis of the telecommunications cable. In addition, the telecommunications cable includes a separator. The separator separates each twisted pair of insulated conductor of the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors. Moreover, the telecommunications cable includes a first layer. The first layer surrounds the separator and the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors along a length of the telecommunications cable. The separator is I-shaped filler. The separator is made of low smoke zero halogen material or MDPE. The first layer is made of low smoke zero halogen material, polyethylene or poly vinyl chloride. The first layer has a thickness in a range of about 0.4 millimeter-2.5 millimeters.

The invention relates to a data cable. One embodiment of the data cable has at least one pair of wires and a cable sheath surrounding the at least one pair of wires. The at least one pair of wires has two wires twisted together in the longitudinal direction of the data cable. Cavities between the at least one pair of wires and the cable sheath are at least partially filled with a filler. The filler has a viscosity which is such that it adheres in the data cable in such a way as to remain in the data cable at least nearly completely when there is a specified pressure difference between one end of the data cable and the other end of the data cable.
