TRANSMISSION CABLE AND DISPLAY SYSTEM
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.
Cable having a sparse shield
A cable (210) includes a center conductor (220). An insulating material in the form of a layer (225) surrounds the center conductor. A sparse shield (232) partially surrounds the insulating material. The sparse shield may include a plurality of conductors, which are grouped adjacent to one another within a space around the insulating layer that has a length that is less than 25% of the total circumference of the insulating layer. An insulating jacket (227) covers the sparse shield and the remainder of the cable. The cable may be used in a cable assembly (10).
FIRE RESISTANT COAXIAL CABLE AND MANUFACTURING TECHNIQUE
Fire-resistant coaxial cables are described as well as methods to manufacture them. The dielectric between the coax cable's central conductor and outer coaxial conductor ceramify under high heat, such as those specified by common fire test standards (e.g., 1850 F./1010 C. for two hours). The dielectric can be composed of ceramifiable silicone rubber, such as that having a polysiloxane matrix with inorganic flux and refractory particles. Because thick layers of uncured ceramifiable silicone rubber deform under their own weight when curing, multiple thinner layers are coated and serially cured in order to build up the required thickness. A sacrificial sheath mold is used to hold each layer of uncured ceramifiable silicone rubber in place around the central conductor while curing. The outer conductor can be a metal foil, metal braid, and/or corrugated metal. Another layer of extruded ceramifiable silicone dielectric or an outer wrap of ceramic fiber yarn surrounds the outer conductor and continues to insulate it from the outside if a low smoke zero halogen jacket burns away. Methods of testing and installation are described.
SHIELDING TAPE WITH MULTIPLE FOIL LAYERS
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.
COAXIAL CABLE AND METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION THEREOF
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.
QUAD-SHIELD COAXIAL CABLE
A quad-shield coaxial cable includes, an elongated center conductor extending along a longitudinal axis, an insulator coaxially surrounding the inner conductor, an inner conductive foil layer coaxially surrounding the insulator, an inner layer of braided shield coaxially surrounding the inner foil layer, an outer layer of braided shield coaxially surrounding the inner layer of braided shield, an outer conductive foil layer coaxially surrounding the outer layer of braided shield, and a jacket coaxially surrounding the outer conductive foil layer.
DIFFERENTIAL TRANSMISSION CABLE AND MULTIPAIR DIFFERENTIAL TRANSMISSION CABLE
A differential transmission cable includes a pair of signal lines, an insulation covering the pair of signal lines, and a shielding tape that includes a conductor layer and an insulation layer formed on one surface of the conductor layer and is helically wound around the insulation. The diameter of the signal line is thinner than at least 30 AWG (American Wire Gauge), and differential characteristic impedance is not less than 80 and not more than 120.
SHIELDED CABLE ASSEMBLY
A wire cable assembly capable of transmitting signals at speeds of 5 Gigabits per second over a single pair or conductors. The cable has a characteristic impedance of 95 Ohms and can support transmission data according to either USB 3.0 or HDMI 1.3 performance specifications. The wire cable includes a pair of conductors, a shield surrounding the conductors, and a dielectric structure configured to maintain a first predetermined spacing between the conductors and a second predetermined spacing between said the conductors said shield. The shield includes an inner shield conductor enclosing the dielectric structure, a ground conductor external to the inner shield conductor, extending generally parallel to the pair of conductors, an outer shield conductor enclosing the inner shield conductor and the ground conductor.
Communication cable
A communication cable 1 is provided with a conductor 2, an insulation layer 3 containing an organic polymer and covering an outer periphery of the conductor 2, a metal foil 5 for covering an outer periphery of the insulation layer 3, and a magnetic sheath layer 7 containing an organic polymer and a powdered magnetic material and covering an outer periphery of the metal foil 5. A tensile modulus of elasticity of the magnetic sheath layer 7 is lower than that of the insulation layer 3. Assuming that an organic polymer having a melting point of 100 C. or lower is a low melting point polymer and a mass ratio of the low melting point polymer to organic polymer components constituting each layer is a low melting point component ratio, the low melting point component ratio is larger in the magnetic sheath layer 7 than in the insulation layer 3.

An article of manufacture comprising a first section having a first dielectric material and a second section having a second dielectric material and provided on an outer surface of the first section. The second dielectric material of the second section is more flexible than the first dielectric material of the first section, and the second section comprises elements of an organic material located partially on an outer surface of the second section.
