Abstract
An asymmetrically shaped jacketed coaxial electrical cable having a drain wire in which the drain wire is aligned parallel to the asymmetric edge or corner of the cable for fast and accurate termination of the cable.
Claims10
An asymmetrically configured coaxial electrical cable comprising:
- (a) an electrically conductive center conductor surrounded by a layer of porous insulation, said insulation layer being further surrounded by a layer of non-porous insulation;
- (b) an electrically conductive drain wire positioned parallel to said center conductor along the length of said conductor outside said non-porous insulation layer;
- (c) said insulation layers and said drain wire surrounded as a unit by a cigarette-wrapped electrically conductive shield, said drain wire being closely enfolded within said shield, and
- (d) said shield surrounded by an asymmetrically configured pressure-extruded polymeric jacket having a differently shaped asymmetric corner or edge thereof aligned parallel to, and in a predictable relationship to said drain wire.
