Abstract:
A low loss data cable, which comprises:a plurality of conductor pairs combined to form a core, each conductor pair comprising coupled braided conductors whereby each conductor encircles its coupled conductor with each conductor encircling being defined as a pair lay length;a first insulating material layer, separately insulating each of said conductors; anda second insulating material layer, surrounding said core, said core comprising said plurality of conductor pairs in a twist formation whereby each of said plurality of conductor pairs in said core encircles a gap that is centrally disposed relative to said second insulating material layer, and that separates all of said plurality of conductor pairs with each conductor pair encircling being defined as a core lay length,wherein said pair lay length of each of said conductor pairs is no greater than about one third of said core lay length.
