Abstract
A cable is provided, configured for tandem communication and power transmission. The cable has a plurality of twisted pair conductors and a jacket surrounding said twisted pair conductors. The jacket includes a plurality of either ridges, valleys or both, disposed substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cable, the ridges and/or valleys are dimensioned and spaced apart in a manner sufficient to create an air passage when the cable is arranged adjacent to and abutting other cables.
Claims18
An arrangement of two or more adjacently positioned cables, said cables configured for tandem communication and power transmission, said cable arrangement comprising:
- two or more adjacently positioned cables configured for tandem communication and power transmission, each cable having:
- a plurality of twisted pair conductors;
- at least one power transmission conductor;
- and
- a jacket surrounding said twisted pair conductors,
- wherein said jacket includes a plurality of ridges disposed perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said cable said ridges dimensioned and spaced apart in a manner sufficient to create a plurality of spaced apart air passages between said adjacent cables, said air passages being perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of said adjacent cables.
An arrangement of two or more adjacently positioned cables, said cables configured for tandem communication and power transmission, said cable arrangement comprising:
