Abstract
It is intended to provide a high-speed differential signal cable having a small diameter and high strength. A 4-conductor cable includes four insulation-coated insulated wires (center conductors) bundled together, and a wire mesh and an insulating sheath which cover a periphery thereof, and this cable is characterized in that a conductor size of center conductor wires is thinned so as to satisfy a specified value of attenuation with a cable length of 2.5 m, and also twisted pair wires are replaced by a quad-structure wire, so that the outer diameter is not larger than 3 mm.
Claims11
A signal transmission cable comprising:
- a quad-structure wire formed by bundling four center conductors, each having an insulating coating, into a quad-structure;
- a wire mesh covering a periphery of said quad-structure wire;
- and
- an insulating sheath further covering an outer surface of said wire mesh,
- wherein said cable is so constructed that its outer diameter is not larger than 3 mm.
