Patent ID: 8502073

Claim:
A digital video cable for carrying one or more high speed differential digital data signals and one or more auxiliary signals between a video source device and a video sink device according to a cable specification, the cable comprising; a raw cable having one or more dual shielded cable elements, each dual shielded cable element comprising a shield and two shielded conductors for transmitting two polarities of a high speed differential digital data signal, an impedance of at least one dual shielded cable element being lower than a nominal impedance of the cable specified in the cable specification; a first circuit carrier connecting the video source device to the raw cable, the first circuit carrier including two padding resistors, each padding resistor being electrically coupled between a respective shielded conductor of the at least one dual shielded cable element and the video source device; and a second circuit carrier connecting the raw cable to the video sink device, the second circuit carrier including a boost device for terminating the at least one dual shielded cable element and boosting the high speed differential digital data signal carried by said at least one dual shielded cable element, an output of the boost device being connected to the video sink device.
