Appl. No.:

10/125435

Inventors:

Carl S. Booth - Storrs CT
Robert A. Wiggin - Middletown CT
Gregory P. Vaupotic - Wallingford CT

Assignee:

Amphenol Corporation - Wallingford CT

International Classification:

H01B 700

US Classification:

174117F, 174117 FF, 174120 R

Abstract:

The present invention is directed to a multi-conductor cable with a twisted pair section and a parallel section, wrapped in a transparent plastic jacket to form a generally uniform round-shaped cable. The transparent jacket allows the flat section to be identified so that the jacket may be removed at this location and the conductors in the flat section prepared for attachment to a connector for either point to point or daisy chain cables. Additionally, the individual conductors in the flat section of the cable are each attached to a support member that maintains the spacing of the conductors so that it may be quickly attached to the contact terminals of a connector.

International Classification:

H01B 11/00
H01B 11/02

US Classification:

174 36, 174113 R, 174120 R

Abstract:

The cable of the present invention contains at least one pair of insulated conductors and an optional drain wire. The insulate conductors and drain wire is longitudinally covered in a shielding tape, which preferably comprises a metallic sheet having an adhesive applied on selected portions of a surface of the metallic sheet. The adhesive is preferably applied in a checker board pattern so that the surface having adhesive thereon contains areas of uncoated, exposed metal forming contact pads. The shielding tape is then covered with two layers of polymeric tapes in opposite helical directions. The polymeric tape is preferably constructed of a polymeric sheet having a layer of adhesive disposed on a surface thereof. In a preferred embodiment, the tapes are wrapped around the shielding tape in opposite directions such that the adhesive surfaces face each other. The tapes are then optionally covered with a jacket.

International Classification:

G02B 6/04

US Classification:

385115, 385100, 385114

Abstract:

An illumination fiber optic ribbon includes optically-transmissive fibers which are adjacent to each other. At least two of the optically-transmissive fibers are twisted together to form a twisted segment. Where the two optically-transmissive fibers are not twisted forms a non-twisted segment. The twisted segments and non-twisted segments alternate along the length of the ribbon. Bends are disposed along the twisted segment and are formed by twisting adjacent optically-transmissive fibers. A light source is connected to one or both ends of the optically-transmissive fibers. The light source emits a light flux into the ribbon so that light emits from the bends in the twisted segment.

Assignee:

Amphenol Corporation - Wallingford CT

International Classification:

H01B 328
H01B 906

US Classification:

174 36

Abstract:

A cable assembly includes a plurality of insulated wires that are arranged in groups of one or more wires with adjacent pairs of the groups being interconnected at any given longitudinal location over the length of the cable. Therefore, the cable defines spaced attachment zones and unattached zones for the groups of wires along the length of the cable with each of the attachment zones including the interconnection of only a single pair of the groups of wires, successive attachment zones being spaced by a respective unattached zone and successive attachment zones interconnecting alternating pairs of the groups of wires. All of the wires are preferably encased in a flexible jacket having a substantially circular cross-section. With this arrangement, the wires extend for the length of the cable without skew and yet the overall cable is extremely flexible.
