TWISTED PAIR CABLE WITH DUAL LAYER INSULATION HAVING IMPROVED TRANSMISSION CHARACTERISTICS

摘要

The present invention concerns a twisted pair cable which eliminates many of the difficulties inherent in the cables of the prior art while substantially reducing both cross-talk impairments and impedance irregularities in a cost competitive manner respectful of the EIA/TIA specifications. The twisted pair cable of the invention includes a plurality of pairs, each of the pairs having two conductors. Each of the conductors is covered with an inner layer insulator and an outer layer insulator. The invention lies in positioning the conductors within the insulation layers so that the conductors are eccentric with respect to the overall insulation of the inner and outer layer insulators. The present invention also concerns a method for making the same.
