Abstract:
The present invention relates to a barrier tape (32) for use as part of a communication cable to improve crosstalk attenuation. The barrier tape (32) is provided with one or more barrier layers (35, 37) of discontinuous conductive segments (34, 38). Conductive segments (34, 38) of one barrier layer (35, 37) are preferably sized and shaped to overlie gaps (36, 40) between conductive segments (34, 38) of another barrier layer (35, 37).
Abstract:
A method of detecting a fault in a power distribution system is provided. The method comprises: providing a power source; providing a load to be powered by the power source; providing a connection from the power source to the load; placing a current source on the connection from the power source to the load; detecting a change in a voltage on the connection indicative of a change of an impedance in the power distribution system; and determining a fault is present within the power distribution system based on the detected change in the voltage on the connection.
