Abstract:
A foamed-polyolefin-insulated wire having a conductor diameter of 0.4 mm or less and an insulation thickness of 0.8 mm or less and satisfying, an equivalent dielectric constant less than 1.6, the fluctuation limits of the equivalent dielectric constant less than or equal to ±0.1, and conductor stripping force greater than or equal to 100 g/50 mm. Polyolefin including 10 weight % or more of an ionomer is used. Polyolefin having a swelling ratio of 55 % or more is extruded over the conductor to form a foamed insulation layer with a foaming degree of 50 % or more using a chemical foaming agent and/or an inert gas. The wire is suitable for high-speed data transmission.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a signal cable device with a structure capable of connecting the signal cable to an electric connector easily and efficiently, which is generally called IEEE1394. SOLUTION: A signal cable 1 is provided with two sets of twist pair wires 2 covered by external shield bodies 8, a bare conductor 3, and an insulation coating conductor 4 therein. The outside of the twist pair wires 2, the bare conductor 3, and the insulation coating conductor 4 are covered with another external shield body 12 so as to constitute the signal cable 1, at both ends of which electric connectors equipped with shield cases are provided. Two sets of twist pair wires 2, the bare conductor 3, and the insulation coating conductor 4 are connected to the terminals in the electric connector in one to one relationship, and simultaneously the bare conductor 3 is brought into electrical contact with the external shied bodies 8 of the twist pair wires 2 in the signal cable 1 so as to be the same potential, and the other external shield body 12 is caused to be the same potential as the shield case.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a thin and polyolefin insulated electric wire suitable for high speed data communication and having high adhesion strength between a conductor and insulating layer, good appearance, and low dielectric constant without unevenness, and highly foamed insulating layer. SOLUTION: This electric wire is a foamed polyolefin-insulated electric wire satisfying following three conditions: a conductor diameter of 0.4 mm ϕ or smaller and an insulating coating thickness of 0.8 mm or thinner, an equivalent dielectric constant =100 g/50 mm. A polyolefin containing 10 wt.% of more of ionomer is used for the electric wire. Manufacture of the electric wire includes process of forming a foamed layer on a conductor by foaming-extrusion at swelling ratio >=55% and foaming degree of the polyolefin >=50% by using a chemical foaming agent and/or an inert gas foaming agent.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a metal cable for transmission, etc., having such structure as dependency of the cable attenuation amount on the frequency in digital transmission is reduced to suppress signal distortion. SOLUTION: A transmission metal cable (1) is covered with an insulator (11) which comprises at least a pair of conductors (10) extending in the prescribed direction and a shield tape (12) which, so arranged as to enclose the conductor (10), comprises a metal layer (120) opposite to the conductor (10). The metal film (120) of the shield tape (12) opposite to the conductor (10) has thickness of 1-10 μm, while thickness of 2-6 μm is preferred. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce attenuation with a limited cable diameter by arranging the respective wires of a signal pair and a power supply pair diagonally in a cable, and covering the whole with electric shields and an insulation outer covering. SOLUTION: Respective wires of a signal pair 2 and a power supply pair 1 arranged diagonally in a cable are covered by shields 4, 5 and an outer covering 3. Preferably, the insulator outside diameter ratio of the signal pair 2 and the power supply pair 1 is any of 1:1, 2:3, 3:2, and the eccentricity of a circumscribing circle ellipse in a cross section when twisting is 0.6 or less. Thereby, a conductor size in a definite cable outside diameter can be large when the impedance of the signal pair 2 is set to a required value. Preferably, the dielectric constants of insulators constituting the insulation coatings of the signal pair 2 and the power supply pair 1 have the ratio of 60 to 100% and the difference of 50% or less. By the control of this arrangement or the dielectric constants of the respective insulators, an electric field distribution in the cable at a signal supply time is stable in a length direction so that a signal attenuation amount is reduced.
