Communication cable having spacer integrated with separator therein
A communication cable includes a separator prepared in the cable for preventing alien crosstalk, and at least one spacer integrally formed with the separator at a side of the separator contacting with an outside jacket. The spacer forms a protrusion protruded out on the cable, and this protrusion makes the transmission wires in the cable be spaced apart from adjacent cables. Thus, alien crosstalk generated due to proximity of other cables during high frequency signal transmission may be prevented.
1 . A communication cable, comprising:
at least two pair units in each of which at least two insulation-coated wires are spirally twisted in a sheath;
a separator having a barrier for separating the pair units from each other;
at least one spacer integrally formed with the separator and protruded from a barrier end of the separator; and
an outside jacket surrounding the separator and the pair units separated by the separator and having a protrusion protruded along the spacer.
2 . The communication cable according to claim 1 ,
wherein the spacer has a sectional diameter or height of 1.0 to 3.0 mm.
3 . The communication cable according to claim 1 ,
wherein the protrusion of the outside jacket formed by the spacer has a pitch in the range of 30 to 120 mm.
4 . The communication cable according to claim 1 ,
wherein the separator is shaped in a radial direction.
5 . The communication cable according to claim 1 ,
wherein the protrusion has a spiral shape in a length direction.
6 . The communication cable according to claim 1 ,
wherein the wires included in the at least two pair units are twisted with different pitches from each other.
7 . The communication cable according to claim 6 ,
wherein the wires are twisted with a pitch in the range of 7.0 to 30 mm.
