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.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a plural-core cable having improved terminal machining and handling performances for sufficient high-speed transmission. SOLUTION: The cable 1 (the plural-core cable) comprises cores 10, 20 having center conductors 11, 21 and insulators 12, 22 covering the respective peripheries of the center conductors 11, 21, a drain wire 4, and a shield conductor 5 covering the peripheries of the cores 10, 20 and the drain wire 4 in package. The cores 10, 20 are mutually differentiated in cable-sectional geometry on the shield conductor 5 by a cavity Sa caused by the existance of the drain wire 4 and have substantially the same effective dielectric constant or effective electrostatic capacity in the state of being covered with the shield conductor 5.
