Abstract
A composite cable includes an electric wire bundle, and an outer layer sheath covering the electric wire bundle. The electric wire bundle includes a one-core first electric wire, a one-core second electric wire, a two-core twisted pair electric wire, a one-core third electric wire, and one wire-like interposed material formed in the shape of a wire using a polymer. In the electric wire bundle, in a cross sectional view the twisted pair electric wire is disposed on one side of a centerline joining the center of the first electric wire and the center of the second electric wire, and the third electric wire and the wire-like interposed material are disposed on the other side of the centerline.
Claims11
A composite cable, comprising:
- an electric wire bundle;
- and
- an outer layer sheath that covers the electric wire bundle, wherein:
- the electric wire bundle includes a single-core first electric wire, a single-core second electric wire, a double-core twisted pair wire, a single-core third electric wire, and a wire-shaped interposed material formed in a shape of a wire using a polymer;
- in a cross-sectional view of the electric wire bundle,
- the twisted pair wire is arranged at one side relative to a center line connecting a center of the first electric wire and a center of the second electric wire while none of single-core third electric wires including the single-core third electric wire and none of wire-shaped interposed materials including the wire-shaped interposed material formed in a shape of a wire using a polymer are arranged at said one side,
- the third electric wire and the wire-shaped interposed material are arranged at the other side relative to the center line while none of double-core twisted pair wires including the double-core twisted pair wire is arranged at the other side,
- the third electric wire and the wire-shaped interposed material are twisted together to form a strand, and
- the strand has a strand diameter that is substantially equal to that of the twisted pair wire.
A composite cable, comprising:
- an electric wire bundle;
- and
- an outer layer sheath that covers the electric wire bundle, wherein:
- the electric wire bundle includes a single-core first electric wire, a single-core second electric wire, a double-core twisted pair wire, a single-core third electric wire, and a wire-shaped interposed material formed in a shape of a wire using a polymer;
- in a cross-sectional view of the electric wire bundle,
- the twisted pair wire is arranged at one side relative to a center line connecting a center of the first electric wire and a center of the second electric wire while none of single-core third electric wires including the single-core third electric wire and none of wire-shaped interposed materials including the wire-shaped interposed material formed in a shape of a wire using a polymer are arranged at said one side,
- the third electric wire and the wire-shaped interposed material are arranged at the other side relative to the center line while none of double-core twisted pair wires including the double-core twisted pair wire is arranged at the other side,
- the composite cable further comprising a separator layer wound around a circumferential surface of the electric wire bundle, wherein the separator layer has a contour that is non-circular in the cross-sectional view.
