Abstract
A cable has a first conductive core configured from a first strand of carbon nanotubes (CNTs), a first copper coating surrounding the strand of CNTs along a length of the cable. The cable also has a first shielding configured from CNTs and copper and surrounding the first core along the length of the cable. The cable also has a second shielding configured from CNTs and copper and surrounding the first shielding along the length of the cable. The cable also has a jacket surrounding the second shielding along the length of the cable.
Claims10
A cable, comprising:
- a first conductive core comprising:
- a first strand of carbon nanotubes (CNTs);
- and
- a first copper coating surrounding the strand of CNTs along a length of the cable;
- an expanded Polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) tape wrapped about the first conductive core to function as a dielectric that adjustably changes impedance based on a thickness of the tape;
- a first shielding surrounding the ePTFE tape along the length of the cable, wherein the first shielding comprises CNTs and copper;
- and
- a second shielding surrounding the first shielding along the length of the cable, wherein the second shielding comprises CNTs and copper;
- a jacket surrounding the second shielding along the length of the cable.
