Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
127 words
A cable assembly comprising a first conductor assembly for passing a positive electrical signal, said first conductor assembly comprising: a central conductor, a strand of fibrous dielectric material wrapped around said central conductor, a plurality of additional conductors formed into a plurality of bundles wrapped around said strand of fibrous dielectric material, and a strand of fibrous dielectric material wrapped around each of said bundles; and a second conductor assembly for passing a negative electric signal, said second conductor assembly comprising: a central conductor, a strand of fibrous dielectric material wrapped around said central conductor, a plurality of additional conductors formed into a plurality of bundles wrapped around said strand of fibrous dielectric material, and a strand of fibrous dielectric material wrapped around each of said bundles.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
127 words
A cable assembly comprising a first conductor assembly for passing a positive electrical signal, said first conductor assembly comprising: a central conductor, a strand of fibrous dielectric material wrapped around said central conductor, a plurality of additional conductors formed into a plurality of bundles wrapped around said strand of fibrous dielectric material, and a strand of fibrous dielectric material wrapped around each of said bundles; and a second conductor assembly for passing a negative electric signal, said second conductor assembly comprising: a central conductor, a strand of fibrous dielectric material wrapped around said central conductor, a plurality of additional conductors formed into a plurality of bundles wrapped around said strand of fibrous dielectric material, and a strand of fibrous dielectric material wrapped around each of said bundles.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
24 words
The cable assembly of claim 1 wherein the strands extending around each of said bundles are wrapped in the same direction as said bundles.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
