A quad-shield coaxial cable includes an insulator portion configured to encircle an inner conductor portion, an inner conductive foil portion configured to encircle the insulator portion, an inner braided shield portion configured to encircle the inner conductive foil layer portion, an outer braided shield portion configured to encircle the inner braided shield portion, an outer conductive foil portion configured to encircle the outer braided shield portion, and a jacket portion configured to encircle the outer conductive foil portion.

A cable has a core line. The core line includes a signal line transmitting a signal, a ground line having a ground potential, and a shield line covering the signal line and the ground line. The ground line and the shield line are electrically coupled together.

A data communication cable assembly including a cable with wire and/or optical fiber communication mediums for transmitting data signals and/or power signals, and connectors for connecting to a pair of devices, respectively. Each of the connector includes a connector plug or receptacle configured to mate with a corresponding receptacle or plug of a device, wherein the connector plug or receptacle includes a set of electrical contacts configured to send and/or receive the data signals and/or power signals to and/or from the device; a metallic shell defining an enclosure and including first and second openings, wherein the connector plug or receptacle mate is configured to mate with the corresponding receptacle or plug of the device via the first opening, and wherein the cable extends from inside to outside of the enclosure via the second opening; and electrically-conductive filler material configured to reduce electromagnetic leakage via the first and second openings.

A fire resistant coaxial cable and method of making includes a 2-part dielectric made of a polymer foam and a ceramifiable silicone rubber. The polymer foam, which can be polypropylene or other polymers, leaves little-to-no residue in the cable that causes electromagnetic loss when upon burning. The polymer foam can be extruded over a center conductor using an inert gas, such as nitrogen, to propagate the foam, ensuring little-to-no residue in the cable. The ceramifiable silicone rubber can be extruded over the polymer foam. The ceramifiable silicone rubber can have a polysiloxane matrix with inorganic flux and refractory particles that ceramify under high heat, such as temperatures specified by common fire test standards (e.g., 1850 F./1010 C. for two hours). The cable is configured to maintain a relatively coaxial relation between a center conductor and an outer conductor even under aforementioned fire tests. Another layer of ceramifiable silicone rubber surrounds the outer conductor and continues to insulate it from the outside if a low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket burns away.

A transmission cable including a signal wire and a shielding layer is provided. The signal wire is configured to transmit a differential signal provided by an eDP interface or a V-by-one interface. The shielding layer is configured to cover the signal wire. An end of the signal wire receives the differential signal provided by the eDP interface or the V-by-one interface, and another end of the signal wire outputs the differential signal provided by the eDP interface or the V-by-one interface. In addition, a display system is also provided.

The present invention relates to a coaxial cable, and particularly to a small-diameter coaxial cable for use in frequency bands of 100 MHz or more. The present invention addresses the problem of providing a coaxial cable which has excellent flexibility, a small outer diameter, and excellent shielding characteristics. The problem is solved by a coaxial cable having an outer conductor which is formed by mixing and laterally winding strands in the same direction, the strands having an outer diameter difference of not less than 10% between a large-diameter strand having a maximum outer diameter and a small-diameter strand having a minimum outer diameter.

A cable hose suitable for welding or cutting systems includes tubing, one or more conductors, and an annular electromagnetic interference (EMI) shield. The EMI shield is disposed radially interiorly of at least a portion of the tubing and radially exteriorly of the one or more conductors. Thus, the EMI shield: (1) prevents EMI emanating from the one or more conductors from exiting the cable hose radially; and (2) conducts current between components of a welding or cutting system.

A coaxial cable and method of construction thereof are provided. The coaxial cable includes an elongate central conductive member; a dielectric insulative layer encasing the central conductive member; an outer protective sheath, and a braided EMI shield layer including hybrid yarn sandwiched between the dielectric insulative layer and the outer protective sheath. The hybrid yarn includes an elongate nonconductive filament and an elongate continuous conductive wire filament. The wire filament is interlaced in electrical communication with itself or other wire filaments along a length of the EMI shield layer to provide protection to the central conductive member against at least one of EMI, RFI or ESD. The method includes providing a central conductive member; forming a dielectric insulative layer surrounding the central conductive member; braiding an EMI shield layer including hybrid yarn about the insulative layer, and forming an outer protective sheath about the braided EMI shield layer.

A coaxial cable of the present invention comprises a center conductor, a dielectric surrounding the center conductor, a shielding tape surrounding the dielectric, a braided metal surrounding the shielding tape, and an outer jacket surrounding the braided metal. The shielding tape comprises: (i) a first shielding layer bonded to a first separating layer; (ii) a second shielding layer bonded to the first separating layer and a second separating layer; and (iii) a third shielding layer bonded to the second separating layer. The present invention eliminates the potential problem of the outer shielding structures separating and interfering with connector attachment. Furthermore, the use of three or more shielding layers in the shielding tape of the present invention improves the flex life of the shield tape by covering micro-cracks in the metal layers with additional shielding layers, thus reducing signal egress or ingress. Accordingly, the present invention provides cost savings and/or an improvement in shielding performance.
