A data cable has a specially formed stranded conductor, as a result of which the transmission properties of the data cable are significantly improved. The stranded conductor is surrounded by insulation and has an unpressed assembly composed of a plurality of individual wires which are of a same type and being embodied as external wires and being disposed around a center. The external wires are embodied with a non-round cross section, with a result that when viewed in cross section an extent of the external wires increases radially outward from the center.

The present invention relates to data cable and methods of installing/building data cable. The cable disclosed herein is indoor/outdoor and can be configured as 4-twisted pair, or any of the numerous other types of data cable. In one embodiment, we disclose an electrical data cable comprising a plurality of insulated wires wherein the plurality of insulated wires is coupled for a first portion of the length of the data cable so as to form at least one twisted pair of wires; the plurality of insulated wires is configured in a flat, planar arrangement for a second portion of the data cable; and the plurality of insulated wires is coupled for a third portion of the length of the data cable so as to form at least one twisted pair of wires. In an alternate method, we disclose a method of attaching a connector to the electrical data cable comprising the steps of cutting the data cable at the untwisted segment and attaching a connector to the plurality of insulated wires in the untwisted segment.

An electrical communications system is described between a first environment and a second environment, having time-varying ground potential differences. The system includes a wire pair for carrying an electrical signal to be communicated from the first environment to the second environment; a first ground shield surrounding the signal carrying wire pair connected to a ground of the first environment; a second ground shield surrounding the signal carrying wire pair connected to a ground of the second environment; and a resistive element connected between the wires in the signal carrying wire pair having a value chosen so as to suppress any natural resonance characteristics of the cable structure.

The present invention relates to an improved insulated conductor with a low dielectric constant and reduced materials costs. The conductor (12) extends along a longitudinal axis and an insulation (14, 14<1>) surrounds the conductor (12). At least on channel (16, 16<1>) in the insulation (14, 14<1>) extends generally along the longitudinal axis to form an insulated conductor. Apparatuses and methods of manufacturing the improved insulated conductors are also disclosed.
