Two electromagnetic interference (EMI) controlling tape application methodologies for unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable include Fixed Tape Control (FTC) and Oscillating Tape Control (OTC). In FTC, tape application angle and edge placement are controlled to maintain position of the tape edges over a base of nonconductive filler in the cable. In OTC, the tape application angle is continuously varied, resulting in crossing of the tape edges over all of the pairs of conductors with varying periodicity. In both implementations, the filler allows a cylindrical shape.

A medical cable includes a plurality of cables, a braided shield covering a circumference of the plurality of cables together and being formed of tubular braided strands, and a jacket covering a circumference of the braided shield. The braided strands includes a copper foil yarn, which includes a highly stretchable polyethylene terephthalate monofilament yarn having a tensile strength of not lower than 700 MPa and an elongation of not lower than 50 percent and not higher than 100 percent, and a copper strip wound helically at a pitch around a surface of the highly stretchable polyethylene terephthalate monofilament yarn. The copper foil yarn has an entire push and recover ratio of not lower than 80 percent.

A flexible flat cable structure capable of improving crosstalk interference includes plural telecommunication signal conductors separated from one another and provided for transmitting differential signals, two support members installed on two lateral sides of the telecommunication signal conductor respectively, at least one filled material disposed between the telecommunication signal conductors. The ratio of the equivalent dielectric constant of the filled material to the equivalent dielectric constant of the support members falls within a range of 0.390.27, and the ratio of the thickness of the filled material to the thickness of the support members falls within a range of 1.491.37. Therefore, the flexible flat cable structure achieves the effects of reducing the time delay of the signal transmission of the flexible flat cable (FFC), suppressing the ringing noise of resonance, and improving the eye height of amplitude measurement, so as to suppress crosstalk interference and improve signal transmission quality effectively.

A shielded electrical cable (50) includes conductor sets (51a, 51b) spaced apart along a width of the cable and extending along a length of the cable. Each conductor set includes first and second insulated conductors (52a, 52b), one or two drain grounding wires (54) disposed between the first and second insulated conductors, first and second conductive shielding films (56a, 56b) disposed on opposite first and second sides of the conductor set, and an adhesive layer (59) bonding the first shielding film to the second shielding film.

Vibration resistant cables containing a first conductor and a second conductor, each having a diameter d, are disclosed. The second conductor is twisted around the first conductor at a lay length between 3 feet and 6 feet to eliminate bagging of the vibration resistant cable during installation.

A shielded electrical cable includes one or more conductor sets extending along a length of the cable and being spaced apart from each other along a width of the cable. Each conductor set has one or more conductors having a size no greater than 24 AWG and each conductor set has an insertion loss of less than about 20 dB/meter over a frequency range of 0 to 20 GHz. First and second shielding films are disposed on opposite sides of the cable, the first and second films including cover portions and pinched portions arranged such that, in transverse cross section, the cover portions of the first and second films in combination substantially surround each conductor set, and the pinched portions of the first and second films in combination form pinched portions of the cable on each side of each conductor.

A conductive line shield structure includes a first conductive line and a shielding member. The first conductive line includes a conductive part and an insulative part. The shielding member is a sheet including an insulative base material and a metal foil, and is wrapped so as to enclose the first conductive line therein. One side end part of the shielding member overlaps an outside surface of the insulative base material so that one side end part of the insulative base material is in contact with the outside surface of the insulative base material.

A transmission line cable that utilizes a plurality of substantially flat insulated conductors, each consisting of two or more solid metallic strands laid side by side in a parallel configuration within an extruded insulator. The plurality of insulated conductors are stacked into groups of two or more and may be utilized as signal conductors or shield conductors. Once the insulated conductors are stacked, the stack is twisted together, and either wrapped in a conductive insulator, placed in an extruded non-conductive insulator, or both, creating a cable that is stable, flexible, and has improved transmission characteristics, including reduced attenuation, noise and signal skew.

Systems and methods for decreasing alien crosstalk use enhanced patch cords for introducing additional attenuation. The enhanced patch cords are preferably shielded to reduce alien crosstalk down their lengths and also attenuate signals passing therethrough to a greater extent than standard communication patch cords. The interaction of two enhanced patch cords results in two suppression steps for alien crosstalk and only one suppression step for intended signal passing through a communication cable.
