Abstract
A twisted pair cabling line and method comprising, a source of at least two twisted pairs, a source of planar shield, a cabling station, that combines the twisted pairs and the shield into a non-twisted cable, a twisting station that twists the cable that is produced by the cabling station, a twisting space between the cabling station and the twisting station, in which the non-twisted cable produced by the cabling station is twisted, to thereby form the shield into a figure-8 cross section having two loops, with a twisted pair in each loop, and a cable storage station.
Claims6
A twisted pair cabling line, comprising:
- a. a source of at least two twisted pairs,
- b. a source of planar shield,
- c. a cabling station, that combines the twisted pairs and the shield into a non-twisted cable,
- d. a twisting station that twists the cable that is produced by the cabling station,
- e. a twisting space between the cabling station and the twisting station, in which the non-twisted cable produced by the cabling station is twisted, to thereby form the shield into a figure-8 cross section having two loops, with a twisted pair in each loop, and
- e. a cable storage station.
A method of forming a shielded twisted pair cable, comprising the steps of:
- a. providing at least two twisted pairs,
- b. providing a source of planar shield,
- c. providing a cabling station, that combines the twisted pairs and the shield into a non-twisted cable,
- d. providing a twisting station that twists the cable that is produced by the cabling station,
- e. providing a twisting space between the cabling station and the twisting station, in which the non-twisted cable produced by the cabling station is twisted, to thereby form the shield into a figure-8 cross section having two loops, with a twisted pair in each loop, and
- e. providing a cable storage station.
