Abstract
The present invention relates to an improved isolated core or insulated conductor with a low dielectric constant and reduced materials costs. Apparatuses and methods of manufacturing the improved isolated core or insulated conductor are also disclosed.
Claims48
A wire comprising a component extending along a longitudinal axis and including at least one first channel extending generally along the longitudinal axis,
- wherein the component is selected from a conductor, insulation, a jacket or combinations thereof to form a channeled component,
- with the proviso that where the channeled component consists of an insulation, an outer peripheral surface of a conductor forms one side of the at least one first channel.
A wire comprising:
- a core element extending along a longitudinal axis and including a plurality of twisted pairs;
- and
- a jacket surrounding the core element and at least one first channel in the jacket extending generally along the longitudinal axis to form an isolated core.
A wire comprising:
- a conductor extending along a longitudinal axis;
- a component surrounding the conductor, where the component is selected from a jacket, an insulation or combinations thereof;
- an inner portion of the jacket, wherein the inner portion has a first signal speed;
- and
- an outer portion of the jacket, wherein the outer portion has a second signal speed greater than the first signal speed.
