Definitions

  • Mol'fitt ABSTRACT Disclosed herein is an economical telephone cable structure and method of making same. such cable structure possessing improved crosstalk properties.
  • a plurality of insulated electrical conductors (pairs). of an otherwise conventional telephone cable design are divided into at least two portions by plastic-coated metal foil strip or tape. Measurements between pairs, divided by this plastic-coated metal foil. of unwanted energy transferred from one conductor to another by means of mutual inductive. capacity, or conductive coupling (crosstalk). shows greatly improved properties over undivided cable pairs or divided cable pairs of prior art.
  • FIG. l3 PLASTIC COVERING POLYETHYLENE GREASE
  • the shield has the efiect of reducing so called near end" crosstalk since the weak attenuated currents coming in at a repeater point are in a compartment of the cable electri cally shielded from a large amplified current entering the conductors in the other compartment of the cable.
  • the instant invention also envisions and incorporates the concept of two distinct bundles of conductors inside a cable structure, one such bundle being electrically shielded from the other bundles and neither one of the aforesaid bundles necessarily being concentric around the other.
  • a cable with a shield is formed by arranging a group of conductors into a cylindrical bundle, spirally wrapping or twisting tapes of aluminum foil, either per se or coated with a plastic such as polyethylene terapthalate (Mylar), upon the cylindrical bundle of insulated wires, and then mounting another group of insulated wires, preferably equal in number, outside of the shielding tape in the form of a concentric cylindrical bundle, upon which another sheath of plastic, or other material, is applied in the usual manner.
  • a plastic such as polyethylene terapthalate (Mylar)
  • Nyquist US. Pat. No. 1,979,402, (179/78), teaches that the shielding material should be thin tape of soft iron, alternating with layers of copper.
  • Nyquist goes on to teach that while various materials may be used, iron (in particular soft iron) is preferred for one group of the alternating layers. This, according to Nyquist, is so because the product of the permeability by the conductivity of the iron is large, thereby making its attenuating effect large.
  • Nyquist teaches that the ratio of permeability of the iron to its conductivity is quite different from that of the copper or other conductive material, which may be used for the other alternating layers.
  • the prior art teaching concerned with the transmission of carrier energy along telecommunication cable, addresses its shield design solution to the use of alternating layers of different metals, e.g., copper and soft iron. At least one of these two metals is magnetic (soft iron).
  • the instant invention addressed its solution to the same problem by using alternating layers of a metal and a nonmetal, neither one of which is magnetic.
  • the instant invention uses as its shield, an aluminum foil either per se or coated with a plastic, such as polyethylene terapthalate.
  • the prior art teaches that the materials to be used must have electromagnetic properties such that the product of permeability and conductivity should be as large as possible and that the ratio of permeability to conductivity should be as much different as possible from one material to the other. This is not the case in the instant invention where there is used as a shield. an aluminum foil either per se or coated with a plastic.
  • a foil is defined the same as found on page 18 of the METALS HANDBOOK, Eighth Edition, published by the American Society for Metals, to wit: A foil is a' metal in sheet form possessing a thickness of less than 0.006'inches.

  • One embodiment of the cable to be considered herein is made up of the usual cylindrical plastic or lead sheath with the conductors arranged in the usual fashion, except that they are separated into two equal or substantially equal but separate concentric groups by means of an essentially cylindrical concentric shield.
  • the instant invention uses the plastic coating of the metal (aluminum) foil as a dielectric to keep unwanted currents [emitting from pinholes in the insulation of individual electrical conductors], from reaching the metallic shield (aluminum foil). It is quite obvious that when a metal foil, coated only on one side, is employed, that the bundle of electrical conductors in nearest proximity therewith is not protected by a dielectric from the electrical conductors, other than that dielectric used as the insulation on the electrical conductors themselves. Thus, there is in this instance a preference for the aluminum foil shield, coated on both sides with the polyethylene terapthalate (Mylar) dielectric.
  • Mylar polyethylene terapthalate

  • a plastic coating e.g., an aluminum foil, completely surrounded by polyethylene terapthalate (Mylar), polyethylene, polypropolyene, polystyrene or PVC.
  • An aluminum foil which is coated only on its two major surfaces with a plastic, still has exposed naked aluminum surfaces at the edges thereof. When considering a cable of many miles in length, this amount of exposed conductive metal becomes significant. Therefore, the instant invention takes this into account in one of two ways: the first way is to employ a metal foil which is completely surrounded by plastic.
  • such a foil would be envisioned as being aluminum with the plastic covering being polyethylene terapthalate (Mylar).
  • Mylar polyethylene terapthalate
  • Another way to mitigate undesirable electrical properties created by having an exposed surface (edge) of metal to the electrical conductors is to fill that portion of the space created by the plastic-coated metal foil shield not otherwise occupied by the electrical conductors therein with a polyethylene greaselike material. This greaselike material acts as both a dielectric protection, as well as an inhibitor of any subsequent incoming moisture. This particular feature will be more fully discussed later.
