Patent application number | Description | Published |
20090294146 | Communication cable with improved crosstalk attenuation - The present invention relates to a barrier tape used as part of a communication cable to improve crosstalk attenuation. The barrier tape is provided with one or more barrier layers of discontinuous conductive segments. Conductive segments of one barrier layer are preferably sized and shaped to overlie gaps between conductive segments of another barrier layer. | 12-03-2009 |
20100116521 | Communication Cable with Improved Crosstalk Attenuation - A communications cable is provided with a matrix tape that attenuates alien crosstalk when cables run near one another. The matrix tape is provided with conductive segments. The conductive segments are preferably provided on two layers of the matrix tape. In one embodiment, the conductive segments are attached to a film with an adhesive. A barrier tape is preferably provided between the cable core and the matrix tape. | 05-13-2010 |
20100224389 | Method and Apparatus For Manufacturing Mosaic Tape For Use In Communication Cable - Cable foil tape having random or pseudo-random patterns or long pattern lengths of discontinuous metallic shapes and a method for manufacturing such patterned foil tape are provided. In some embodiments, a laser ablation system is used to selectively remove regions or paths in a metallic layer of a foil tape to produce random distributions of randomized shapes, or pseudo-random patterns or long pattern lengths of discontinuous shapes in the metal layer. In some embodiments, the foil tape is double-sided, having a metallic layer on each side of the foil tape, and the laser ablation system is capable of ablating nonconductive pathways into the metallic layer on both sides of the foil tape. | 09-09-2010 |
20120222883 | Communication Cable with Improved Crosstalk Attenuation - A barrier tape used as part of a communication cable is described. The barrier tape is provided with one or more barrier layers of discontinuous conductive segments. Conductive segments of one barrier layer are preferably sized and shaped to overlie gaps between conductive segments of another barrier layer. | 09-06-2012 |
20120267142 | Communication Cable with Improved Crosstalk Attenuation - A communication cable with a barrier tape to improve crosstalk attenuation. The barrier tape is provided with one or more barrier layers of discontinuous conductive segments. | 10-25-2012 |
20130118772 | Communication Cable with Improved Crosstalk Attenuation - A matrix tape with conductive segments. The conductive segments are preferably provided on two layers of the matrix tape. The conductive segments can be attached to a film with an adhesive. A barrier tape is preferably applied between the cable core and the matrix tape. | 05-16-2013 |
20140027036 | Methods of Manufacturing a Communication Cable - Cable foil tape having random or pseudo-random patterns or long pattern lengths of discontinuous metallic shapes and a method for manufacturing such patterned foil tape are provided. In some embodiments, a laser ablation system is used to selectively remove regions or paths in a metallic layer of a foil tape to produce random distributions of randomized shapes, or pseudo-random patterns or long pattern lengths of discontinuous shapes in the metal layer.
