HIGH PERFORMANCE DATA CABLE AND A UL 910 PLENUM NON-FLUORINATED JACKET HIGH PERFORMANCE DATA CABLE

摘要

This invention deals with high preformance bound lateral shielded twisted pair cables (20, 25, 30) having a high performance data cable (10A & B) containing at least four of the bound lateral shielded twisted pair cables (20, 25, 30), and a method for preparing the same. The bound lateral shielded twisted pair cables (20, 25, 30) preferably have a 20 DEG C. adjusted standard impedance deviation of 4.5 or less and contains at least four of the bound lateral shielded twisted pair cables (10). The twisted pair is laterally wrapped with a metal shield tape (16) and one of a fabric, metal braid, or thread (18) at a tension that provides the above. The tension is such that it provides a cross-sectional void area of less that 25% and preferably less than 18% of the lateral shielded twisted pair cable cross-sectional area. The tape (16) is laterally wrapped with an overlap of at least 10%. Preferably, the cable (20, 25, 30) has a rating out to 600MHz and 1000MHz. We provide a UL 910 plenum at least category 5-high performance data cable (20, 25, 30) that has a non-fluorinated jacket (19) and between the jacket (19) and a cable core, a temperature-resistant flame-retardant separator tape (27).
