Abstract
An improved method of conditioning coaxial and other multiconductor cable to provide low levels of noise caused by piezo and pyro-induced effects, which includes the steps of shorting the inner conductors to the outer braided cover, while maintaining the cable at an elevated temperature below the melting point of the dielectric material and above any transition points for a period of time sufficient to complete molecular rearrangement of the dielectric material disclosed between the conductors and cover.
Claims1
The method of manufacturing a low noise electrical cable including at least one centrally disposed conductor, a dielectric sleeve and an outer conductive sheath which includes the steps of shorting the sheath to the conductor, and while maintaining the short, subjecting the cable to temperatures below the melting point of the dielectric and above any transition points for a period of time sufficient to completely change all crystalline structure of the material of the dielectric to amorphous state, and gradually reducing the temperature of the cable to room temperature.
