Abstract

Abstract A directional transmission cable is disclosed which has a plurality of insulated conductive wires. The cable also has a source terminal and a destination terminal. A first connection of a collection of more than one of the wires is made to the source terminal. A second connection of less than all of the collection of wires is made to the destination terminal. A faithful transmission of a signal is made from the source terminal to the destination terminal.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 14
Claim 1
Independent Claim 93 words
A directional transmission cable having a first signal transmitting means with a plurality of insulated conductive first wires comprising: a. a first source terminal; b. a first destination terminal; c. a first connection to said source terminal of a collection of more than one of said wires for receiving a signal; and d. a second connection to said destination terminal of less than all of said collection for transmitting said signal wherein at least one wire of said collection is connected to said source terminal and is open circuited near said destination terminal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 93 words
A directional transmission cable having a first signal transmitting means with a plurality of insulated conductive first wires comprising: a. a first source terminal; b. a first destination terminal; c. a first connection to said source terminal of a collection of more than one of said wires for receiving a signal; and d. a second connection to said destination terminal of less than all of said collection for transmitting said signal wherein at least one wire of said collection is connected to said source terminal and is open circuited near said destination terminal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 40 words
The transmission cable according to claim 1 having a second signal transmitting means comprising: a. a second source terminal; b. a second destination terminal; and c. a second wire coupled between said second source terminal and said second destination terminal.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 29 words
The transmission cable according to claim 2 further comprising a braided shield surrounding said plurality of first wires and said second wire, said shield coupled to said second wire.
