Abstract
A communications cable includes a pair of twisted pair of wires, each coated with a fluoropolymer insulator. The fluoropolymer insulators each independently contain at least 95% w/w fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP). The twisted pair of wires is configured to carry a differential signal, such as a differential data signal and/or a differential power signal.

-20. (canceled)
A cable comprising:
- a single twisted pair of conductors, the twisted pair of conductors comprising a first conductor insulated by a first insulating layer, and a second conductor insulated by a second insulating layer, wherein the first and second insulating layers are in contact with the associated conductor along an entire outer circumference of the conductor and wherein the first and second insulating layers contain at least 95% w/w of fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), and wherein the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer have a dielectric constant between about 1.2 and about 2.1 over a temperature range of 23° C. to 150° C. and over a frequency range of 1 GHz-10 GHz.
An automotive cable comprising:
- a twisted pair of conductors, the twisted pair of conductors comprising a first conductor insulated by a first insulating layer, and a second conductor insulated by a second insulating layer, wherein the first and second insulating layers surround the associated conductor along an entire outer circumference of the conductor and wherein the first and second insulating layers contain at least 95% w/w of a fluoropolymer, and wherein the first insulating layer and the second insulating layer have a dielectric constant between about 1.2 and about 2.1 over a temperature range of 23° C. to 150° C. and over a frequency range of 1 GHz-10 GHz;
- and an outer jacket surrounding the twisted pair of conductors.
