Abstract
A process for obtaining a twisted pair electrical signal cable having conductors of equal physical length and equal signal transmitting properties by passing a parallel pair of adhered insulated conductors of equal length through a closely-fitting die and twisting the conductors into a twisted pair cable. The process applies to thermopolymer insulated and ePTFE insulated conductors.
Claims6
A process for manufacturing a cable in the form of a twisted pair of insulated electrical conductors having equal physical lengths, comprising the steps of:
- (a) adhering together along their length two parallel insulated electrical conductors of equal length by bonding the insulations thereof together along the line of contact between the two insulations;
- (b) passing the adhered insulated conductors as a unit through a rotatable close-fitting die;
- and
- (c) twisting the insulated conductors to form a twisted pair cable having insulated conductors of equal length.
