US 11,158,441 B1 · High-speed cable drain wire system

Abstract

A high-speed cable drain wire system includes a cable shield housing conductor(s), an insulator subsystem that surrounds the conductor(s), and drain wire subsystem(s) that each have at least one drain wire strand, and with each drain wire strand including a plurality of drain wires. The plurality of drain wires in each drain wire strand may be positioned in a side-by-side orientation or a twisted orientation, and when the at least one drain wire strand included a the plurality of drain wire strands, the plurality of drain wire strands in each drain wire subsystem may be positioned in a braided orientation or a twisted orientation. In response to routing the cable, a bend may be produced in the drain wire subsystem(s), and the plurality of drain wires in each drain wire strand are configured to experience a stress that is less than a stress threshold in response to the bend.
