Abstract
Three-wire communication cables are useful for operation with a vehicle as vehicular data communication cables. The cables include a cable core formed of three insulated wires twisted together at a defined pitch and a jacket surrounding the cable core. The cables can meet Mobile Industry Processor Interface (“MIPI”) C-PHY℠ standard (Version 1.2) as well as International Standards Organization (“ISO”) 6722-1 (2011) and 14572 (2011).
Claims18
A three-wire communication cable comprising:
- three insulated wires twisted together at a pitch rate, each of the three insulated wires comprising a conductive wire and an insulation layer, and wherein all of the three insulated wires are in contact with each other;
- and
- a jacket layer surrounding the three insulated wires, the jacket layer comprising one or more of thermoplastic elastic (“TPE”) and thermoplastic polyurethane (“TPU”);
- wherein the pitch rate comprises a pitch of about 8 mm to about 30 mm.
