Abstract:
Two electromagnetic interference (EMI) controlling tape application methodologies for unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable include Fixed Tape Control (FTC) and Oscillating Tape Control (OTC). In FTC, tape application angle and edge placement are controlled to maintain position of the tape edges over a base of nonconductive filler in the cable. In OTC, the tape application angle is continuously varied, resulting in crossing of the tape edges over all of the pairs of conductors with varying periodicity. In both implementations, the filler allows a cylindrical shape.

Claim (Index 1):
A cable for reducing alien cross-talk and return loss between adjacent twisted pairs of conductors comprising:\n a first twisted pair of conductors having a first side portion and a first outwardly facing portion; a second twisted pair of conductors having a second side portion and a second outwardly facing portion; a filler member configured to non-conductively shield the first side portion of the first twisted pair of conductors from the second side portion of the second twisted pair of conductors; a barrier tape configured to encircle the filler member and the first and second outwardly facing portions of the first and second twisted pairs of conductors so as to non-conductively shield the first and second outwardly facing portions of the first and second twisted pairs of conductors; a jacket configured to encircle the barrier tape; wherein the second twisted pair of conductors is located adjacent to a portion of the filler member, and wherein the first twisted pair of conductors is located adjacent to the portion of the filler member; wherein the barrier tape includes a non-conductive layer and a conductive layer; wherein the filler member is made of a non-conductive material; wherein the filler member includes a plurality of arms that are each configured to radially extend outwardly so as to form a first channel shaped to partially enclose the first twisted pair of conductors and a second channel shaped to partially enclose the second twisted pair of conductors; wherein the first terminal portion of the filler member includes a first outwardly facing terminal surface, the second terminal portion of the filler member includes a second outwardly facing terminal surface, and the barrier tape is configured to encircle the first and second outwardly facing terminal surfaces and the first and second twisted pairs of conductors; wherein the filler member is configured to extend along a longitudinal portion of the cable and is configured to non-conductively shield the first and second twisted pairs of conductors from being electrically coupled to each other along the longitudinal portion of the cable.
