Description

La présente invention porte sur un câble comportant des conducteurs isolés individuellement et au moins une gaine les entourant, qui est aisément dégainable sans nécessiter l'utilisation d'un outil spécial de dégainage.The present invention relates to a cable comprising individually insulated conductors and at least one sheath surrounding them, which is easily stripped without requiring the use of a special stripping tool.

Le document FR-A-2 645 358 décrit un câble électrique, qui comporte des conducteurs isolés individuellement et une gaine les entourant directement et peut comporter en outre de possibles drains, entre les conducteurs isolés et la gaine. Ce câble est dégainable à l'aide d'une pince spéciale adaptée de coupe en évitant de blesser les conducteurs. A cet effet, la gaine présente deux couples de nervures délimitant quatre rainures longitudinales se faisant face deux à deux dans deux plans parallèles de coupe, chacun de ces plans coupant la surface intérieure de la gaine mais restant extérieur aux conducteurs et aux possibles drains. Chaque nervure est attenante à l'une des nervures, ainsi directement délimitée et définie. La gaine munie de ses deux couples de nervures et de rainures est de section s'inscrivant dans un carré.The document FR-A-2 645 358 describes an electrical cable, which comprises individually insulated conductors and a sheath directly surrounding them and may further comprise possible drains, between the insulated conductors and the sheath. This cable can be stripped using a special cutter to avoid injuring the conductors. To this end, the sheath has two pairs of ribs delimiting four longitudinal grooves facing two by two in two parallel cutting planes, each of these planes cutting the inner surface of the sheath but remaining outside the conductors and possible drains. Each rib is attached to one of the ribs, thus directly delimited and defined. The sheath provided with its two pairs of ribs and grooves is of section inscribed in a square.

La pince adaptée de dégainage de ce câble est à deux mâchoires articulées reçues dans les rainures d'un même couple et actionnées pour couper la gaine selon le plan de coupe précité. Elle permet avec les couples de nervures et de rainures définis sur la gaine de minimiser les risques de blessure des conducteurs.The suitable pliers for stripping this cable has two articulated jaws received in the grooves of the same torque and actuated to cut the sheath according to the aforementioned cutting plane. It allows with the pairs of ribs and grooves defined on the sheath to minimize the risk of injury to the conductors.

Le document GB-A-1 371 211 divulgue un câble électrique aisément dégainable. Ce câble comporte deux conducteurs électriques isolés individuellement et disposés parallèlement côte-à-côte et une gaine isolante continue entourant les conducteurs. Cette gaine définit un logement unique contenant les conducteurs et présente deux portions tubulaires opposées qui sont entr'ouvertes en vis-à-vis et directement reliées l'une à l'autre. Elle entoure fermement les conducteurs mais n'adhère pas très fortement sur ceux-ci et rend ainsi le câble aisé à dégainer.Document GB-A-1 371 211 discloses an easily unsheathable electric cable. This cable comprises two individually insulated electrical conductors arranged parallel side by side and a continuous insulating sheath surrounding the conductors. This sheath defines a single housing containing the conductors and has two opposite tubular portions which are half-opened vis-à-vis and directly connected to each other. It firmly surrounds the conductors but does not adhere very strongly to them and thus makes the cable easy to draw.

Le document US-A-4 755 629 décrit un câble de transmission de signaux haute fréquence, qui comporte en particulier :

  • deux paires de conducteurs isolés individuellement,
  • une gaine interne et continue entourant chaque paire ou une gaine interne isolante et fendue, ayant une forme de huit ou de S, entourant en commun les deux paires,
  • un écran de blindage, entourant les deux gaines internes individuelles ou la gaine interne commune, et
  • une gaine externe de protection.
The document US-A-4 755 629 describes a cable for transmitting high frequency signals, which comprises in particular:
  • two pairs of individually insulated conductors,
  • an internal and continuous sheath surrounding each pair or an internal insulating and split sheath, having an eight or S shape, surrounding in common the two pairs,
  • a shielding screen, surrounding the two individual internal sheaths or the common internal sheath, and
  • an external protective sheath.

Les gaines internes sur les deux paires, respectivement, ont l'avantage de séparer les deux paires l'une de l'autre. Elles posent par contre le problème de dégainage peu aisé de ce câble.The internal sheaths on the two pairs, respectively, have the advantage of separating the two pairs from each other. On the other hand, they pose the problem of uneasy stripping of this cable.

La gaine interne commune en huit présente deux portions tubulaires, reliées par une patte de jonction située dans le plan axial commun de ses portions tubulaires, et deux fentes situées à l'opposé l'une à l'autre. Celle en S présente également deux portions tubulaires, reliées par une patte de jonction en biais et de part et d'autre de leur plan axial commun, et deux fentes situées de part et d'autre de cette patte de jonction.The common internal sheath in eight has two tubular portions, connected by a junction tab located in the common axial plane of its tubular portions, and two slots located opposite each other. That in S also has two tubular portions, connected by a junction leg at an angle and on either side of their common axial plane, and two slots located on either side of this junction leg.

Ce type de gaine interne en huit ou en S a l'avantage de séparer les deux paires l'une de l'autre pour améliorer la diaphonie entre ces paires. Les deux fentes permettent la mise en place des deux paires dans la gaine interne déjà réalisée et permettent donc également le retrait direct des paires de cette gaine en supprimant toute opération particulière de dégainage. Par contre la mise en place des paires dans cette gaine peut déplacer les conducteurs mais surtout la présence des deux fentes n'éloigne pas correctement à leur niveau l'écran des conducteurs. Il en résulte une augmentation des pertes et du niveau d'atténuation des signaux transmis dans le câble à gaine interne fendue, par rapport au câble à deux gaines internes non fendues ayant la même épaisseur que la gaine interne fendue.This type of internal eight or S sheath has the advantage of separating the two pairs from one another to improve the crosstalk between these pairs. The two slots allow the positioning of the two pairs in the internal sheath already produced and therefore also allow the direct removal of the pairs from this sheath by eliminating any particular stripping operation. On the other hand, the positioning of the pairs in this sheath can displace the conductors, but above all the presence of the two slots does not correctly distance the screen from the conductors. This results in an increase in the losses and the attenuation level of the signals transmitted in the cable with split internal sheath, compared to the cable with two internal sheaths. not split having the same thickness as the split inner sheath.

La présente invention a pour but de réaliser un câble aisément dégainable en particulier en plein câble, sans outil spécial de coupe, et dont les performances de transmission de signaux haute fréquence sont optimisées.The object of the present invention is to produce a cable which can be easily stripped, in particular in full cable, without any special cutting tool, and the performance of which for transmitting high frequency signals is optimized.

Elle a pour objet un câble aisément dégainable, comportant des conducteurs électriques isolés individuellement et assemblés en ensembles distincts, et au moins une gaine isolante continue entourant lesdits ensembles et les séparant en deux groupes, caractérisé en ce que chaque gaine présente deux portions tubulaires sensiblement entr'ouvertes en vis-à-vis le long du câble, entourant lesdits ensembles et séparant les deux groupes, et deux languettes sensiblement parallèles de continuité périphérique de la gaine, reliant les deux portions tubulaires, délimitant entre elles un étranglement de largeur inférieure au diamètre des conducteurs isolés et permettant par rupture d'au moins l'une d'elles l'ouverture à souhait de ladite gaine isolante continue.It relates to an easily unsheathed cable, comprising individually insulated electrical conductors assembled in separate assemblies, and at least one continuous insulating sheath surrounding said assemblies and separating them into two groups, characterized in that each sheath has two tubular portions substantially between '' open facing each other along the cable, surrounding said assemblies and separating the two groups, and two substantially parallel tabs of peripheral continuity of the sheath, connecting the two tubular portions, delimiting between them a constriction of width less than the diameter insulated conductors and allowing by rupture of at least one of them the desired opening of said continuous insulating sheath.

Ce câble présente avantageusement en outre au moins l'une des caractéristiques additionnelles suivantes :

  • lesdites languettes sont sensiblement jointives mais non fusionnées,
  • lesdites languettes sont jointives et légèrement adhérentes l'une à l'autre, en étant séparables l'une de l'autre,

This cable advantageously also has at least one of the following additional characteristics:

  • the cable has an external groove on at least one of said tongues, constituting a breakthrough on this tongue,

The characteristics and advantages of the present invention will emerge from the description given below with reference to the attached drawings. In these drawings:
  • FIG. 1 represents in section a cable according to the present invention,
  • FIG. 2 is the sectional view of the cable of FIG. 1, illustrating the stripping of this cable,
  • FIG. 3 is a sectional view showing an alternative embodiment of the cable of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 4 shows in section another alternative embodiment of the easily unsheathable cable according to the present invention, the transmission performance of which is optimized,
  • FIG. 5 is an alternative embodiment given with respect to FIG. 4.

Le câble représenté dans la figure 1 comporte deux paires 1 et 2, dont les quatre conducteurs 10, 12, 20 et 22, sont revêtus d'une isolation individuelle 11, 13, 21 ou 23, selon le conducteur considéré, et sont entourés par une gaine isolante continue 3. Cette gaine 3 constitue directement la gaine externe de protection du câble.The cable shown in Figure 1 has two pairs 1 and 2, the four conductors 10, 12, 20 and 22, are coated with individual insulation 11, 13, 21 or 23, depending on the conductor considered, and are surrounded by a continuous insulating sheath 3. This sheath 3 directly constitutes the external cable protection sheath.

La gaine 31 présente deux portions cylindriques 31 et 32, qui sont légèrement entr'ouvertes en vis-à-vis le long du câble et réunies l'une à l'autre en formant un étranglement 33 sur la gaine.The sheath 31 has two cylindrical portions 31 and 32, which are slightly half-open facing each other along the cable and joined to one another by forming a constriction 33 on the sheath.

Cette gaine regroupe les deux paires 1 et 2 tout en les séparant l'une de l'autre, chacune des paires étant dans l'une des portions cylindriques 31 et 32 de la gaine 3. Cette gaine 3 est continue sur sa périphérie et présente à cet effet deux languettes de liaison 34 et 35, joignant chacune l'un des bords d'ouverture de l'une de ces portions à l'un des bords d'ouverture de l'autre portion et délimitant ainsi entre elles l'étranglement 33.This sheath combines the two pairs 1 and 2 while separating them from one another, each of the pairs being in one of the cylindrical portions 31 and 32 of the sheath 3. This sheath 3 is continuous on its periphery and has for this purpose two connecting tongues 34 and 35, each joining one of the opening edges of one of these portions to one of the opening edges of the other portion and thus delimiting between them the constriction 33.

Les languettes 34 et 35 sont sensiblement jointives l'une contre l'autre mais non fusionnées ou sont légèrement espacées et sensiblement parallèles. L'étranglement qu'elles délimitent le long du câble sur la gaine est de largeur inférieure au diamètre des conducteurs isolés intérieurs à la gaine.The tongues 34 and 35 are substantially contiguous one against the other but not fused or are slightly spaced and substantially parallel. The constriction which they delimit along the cable on the sheath is of width less than the diameter of the insulated conductors inside the sheath.

Cette gaine 3 ainsi constituée est extrudée.This sheath 3 thus formed is extruded.

La figure 2 illustre le dégainage de ce câble, qui est réalisé localement à souhait sur une partie quelconque du câble ou en partie terminale du câble. Le dégainage est réalisé par arrachement, déchirure ou coupure des languettes, pour la séparation des portions 31 et 32 et l'ouverture résultante de la gaine. Ceci est obtenu par traction sensiblement transversale au câble sur l'une et ou l'autre des portions cylindriques 31 et 32, ainsi que schématisé par les flèches en trait plein F1 et F2, associées à ces portions, provoquant la rupture des languettes ou leur arrachement de l'une des deux portions, ou par incision préalable à cette traction, ou par coupe directe d'au moins l'une des languettes ainsi que schématisé par la flèche F en pointillés. Les conducteurs isolés sont alors dégagés de la gaine et celle-ci sectionnée sur une longueur convenable.FIG. 2 illustrates the stripping of this cable, which is carried out locally as desired on any part of the cable or in the terminal part of the cable. The stripping is carried out by tearing, tearing or cutting the tabs, for the separation of the portions 31 and 32 and the resulting opening of the sheath. This is obtained by traction substantially transverse to the cable on one or the other of the cylindrical portions 31 and 32, as shown diagrammatically by the arrows in solid line F1 and F2, associated with these portions, causing the rupture of the tongues or their tearing off of one of the two portions, or by incision prior to this traction, or by direct cutting of at least one of the tongues as shown diagrammatically by the arrow F in dotted lines. The insulated conductors are then released from the sheath and the latter sectioned over a suitable length.

Cette gaine, prévue pour ce mode de dégainage sans outil spécial, évite toute blessure des conducteurs isolés intérieurs, pendant le dégainage et permet de réaliser le dégainage en plein câble.This sheath, provided for this stripping mode without special tools, avoids any injury to the insulated internal conductors, during the stripping and allows the stripping to be carried out in full cable.

En variante, ainsi qu'illustré en pointillés sur la figure 1, la gaine 3 comporte en outre deux rainures extérieures 36 et 37, de faible profondeur, prévues sur les languettes de liaison 34 et 35. Ces rainures constituent des amorces de rupture des languettes. Elles sont sensiblement opposées l'une à l'autre et sont situées dans la partie médiane des languettes ou peuvent être à l'une de leurs extrémités.As a variant, as shown in dotted lines in FIG. 1, the sheath 3 further comprises two outer grooves 36 and 37, of shallow depth, provided on the connecting tongues 34 and 35. These grooves constitute initiations of rupture of the tongues . They are substantially opposite to each other and are located in the middle part of the tongues or may be at one of their ends.

Dans la figure 3, le câble illustré comporte quatre paires de conducteurs isolés individuellement et une gaine isolante continue les entourant, et les séparant en deux groupes 1 et 1' chacun de deux paires. Quatre de ces huit conducteurs et leur isolation individuelle sont désignés par les mêmes références que dans la figure 1, à savoir 10-11, 12-13, 20-21 et 22-23 et les quatre autres et leur isolation par les références 14-15, 16-17, 24-25 et 26-27. La gaine isolante continue est fonctionnellement identique à la gaine du câble selon la figure 1. Cette gaine et ses différentes parties sont simplement désignées par les références utilisées en correspondance dans la figure 1 et ne sont plus décrites. On précise uniquement que les portions 31 et 32, cylindriques dans la figure 1, sont sensiblement elliptiques dans la figure 3. Les languettes de liaison sont sensiblement parallèles aux grands axes alignés des portions 31 et 32, et donnent une configuration plate au câble résultant.In FIG. 3, the cable illustrated comprises four pairs of individually insulated conductors and a continuous insulating sheath surrounding them, and separating them into two groups 1 and 1 ′ each of two pairs. Four of these eight conductors and their individual insulation are designated by the same references as in FIG. 1, namely 10-11, 12-13, 20-21 and 22-23 and the other four and their insulation by the references 14- 15, 16-17, 24-25 and 26-27. The continuous insulating sheath is functionally identical to the cable sheath according to FIG. 1. This sheath and its various parts are simply designated by the references used in correspondence in FIG. 1 and are no longer described. We only specify that the portions 31 and 32, cylindrical in Figure 1, are substantially elliptical in Figure 3. The connecting tabs are substantially parallel to the major aligned axes of the portions 31 and 32, and give a flat configuration to the resulting cable.

Les deux conducteurs isolés de chaque paire peuvent être maintenus assemblés, ainsi que schématisé pour les deux paires du seul groupe 1' dont les conducteurs sont maintenus sous un ruban, tel que 18 ou 19, selon la paire, représenté en pointillés. Ces rubans d'assemblage sont en polyester ou analogue et peuvent être à face extérieure métallique pour constituer un écran sur chaque paire.The two insulated conductors of each pair can be kept assembled, as shown diagrammatically for the two pairs of the only group 1 'whose conductors are held under a ribbon, such as 18 or 19, depending on the pair, shown in dotted lines. These assembly tapes are made of polyester or the like and may have a metal outer face to form a screen on each pair.

Le dégainage du câble selon cette figure 3 se fait de la même manière que celui selon la figure 1 et n'est donc pas illustré ni précisé davantage. La séparation ultérieure des conducteurs des éventuelles paires sous ruban d'assemblage se fait par déchirure et retrait du ruban d'assemblage.The stripping of the cable according to this figure 3 is done in the same way as that according to figure 1 and is therefore not illustrated nor specified further. The subsequent separation of the conductors of the possible pairs under assembly tape is done by tearing and removal of the assembly tape.

Dans les figures 4 et 5, le câble comporte deux groupes 1 et 2 de conducteurs isolés individuellement, dont les conducteurs et leur isolation sont désignés par les mêmes références que dans la figure 3. Ces conducteurs sont assemblés en quarte étoile, chaque groupe étant défini directement par une seule quarte étoile. Ces deux groupes ou deux quartes sont entourés d'une gaine isolante commune et continue 3, qui constitue une gaine interne du câble.In FIGS. 4 and 5, the cable comprises two groups 1 and 2 of individually insulated conductors, the conductors and their insulation of which are designated by the same references as in FIG. 3. These conductors are assembled in a quarter star, each group being defined directly by a single fourth star. These two groups or two quartes are surrounded by a common and continuous insulating sheath 3, which constitutes an internal sheath of the cable.

Cette gaine interne 3 présente deux portions cylindriques 31 et 32, qui recouvrent la quasi totalité de la périphérie des deux quartes et sont réunies l'une à l'autre en formant un étranglement 33 sur la gaine.This internal sheath 3 has two cylindrical portions 31 and 32, which cover almost the entire periphery of the two quarters and are joined to one another by forming a constriction 33 on the sheath.

Cette gaine interne 3 regroupe les deux quartes tout en les séparant l'une de l'autre, chaque quarte étant dans l'une des portions cylindrique 31 et 32. Deux languettes 34 et 35 relient les deux bords de l'une des portions cylindriques à ceux en vis-à-vis de l'autre portion et assurent la continuité périphérique de cette gaine interne autour des deux quartes étoile.This internal sheath 3 groups the two quarters while separating them from each other, each quarter being in one of the cylindrical portions 31 and 32. Two tabs 34 and 35 connect the two edges of one of the cylindrical portions to those opposite the other portion and ensure the peripheral continuity of this internal sheath around the two star quads.

Dans la figure 4, ces languettes sont sensiblement jointives mais non fusionnées. Elles sont parallèles et indépendantes l'une de l'autre de sorte que les deux portions cylindriques sont légèrement entr'ouvertes en vis-à-vis l'une de l'autre. L'étranglement entre elles est de largeur inférieure au diamètre de l'un des conducteurs isolés.In Figure 4, these tabs are substantially contiguous but not fused. They are parallel and independent of each other so that the two cylindrical portions are slightly half-open opposite one another. The constriction between them is of width less than the diameter of one of the insulated conductors.

Dans la figure 5, ces languettes sont jointives et légèrement adhérentes l'une à l'autre tout en restant séparables aisément l'une de l'autre. L'étranglement entre elles est de largeur nulle au moins dans sa partie médiane.In Figure 5, these tabs are contiguous and slightly adherent to each other while remaining easily separable from one another. The constriction between them is of zero width at least in its middle part.

Cette gaine interne continue 3 est extrudée sur les deux quartes constituées. Elle les maintient côte-à-côte en les espacant légèrement l'une de l'autre. Au cours de l'extrusion, elle replace le cas échéant les conducteurs isolés de chaque quarte, prévus au départ aussi identiques que possible les uns aux autres, en assurant leur léger serrage les uns aux autres, pour que les conducteurs soient en tout point le long du câble deux à deux opposés le plus rigoureusement possible. Elle maintient par la suite la géométrie des quartes et la position côte-à-côte des deux quartes séparées.This continuous internal sheath 3 is extruded on the two quads formed. It keeps them side by side by spacing them slightly apart from each other. During the extrusion, it replaces, if necessary, the insulated conductors of each quarter, initially provided as identical as possible to each other, ensuring their slight tightening to each other, so that the conductors are at all points along the cable two to two opposite as rigorously as possible. It then maintains the geometry of the quarters and the side-by-side position of the two separate quarters.

Un écran de blindage 4 entoure complètement la gaine interne 3 et un fil de continuité d'écran 5 lui est associé. Une gaine extérieure 6 recouvre l'écran et protège le câble.A shielding screen 4 completely surrounds the internal sheath 3 and a screen continuity wire 5 is associated with it. An outer sheath 6 covers the screen and protects the cable.

L'écran 4 est constitué par une feuille métallique ou métallisée, montée avec recouvrement de ses bords l'un sur l'autre autour de la gaine interne. Le fil de continuité d'écran est monté entre l'écran et la gaine externe. Il est positionné dans une légère pliure longitudinale 4A de l'écran, formée dans l'une de ses parties entre les deux portions cylindriques de la gaine interne, et y est retenu par la gaine externe. Cet écran est suffisamment rigide pour la formation de cette légère pliure et pour le maintien tendu de son autre partie opposée entre les deux portions cylindriques de la gaine interne.The screen 4 is constituted by a metallic or metallized sheet, mounted with overlapping of its edges one on the other around the internal sheath. The screen continuity wire is mounted between the screen and the outer sheath. It is positioned in a slight longitudinal fold 4A of the screen, formed in one of its parts between the two cylindrical portions of the internal sheath, and is retained there by the external sheath. This screen is rigid enough for the formation of this slight fold and for the maintenance stretched from its other opposite part between the two cylindrical portions of the internal sheath.

Le dégainage du câble selon les figures 4 et 5 pour l'accès à ses conducteurs est effectué en coupant sur la longueur convenable la gaine extérieure 6, ceci ne posant aucun problème particulier ou risque pour les conducteurs dans la gaine interne et protégés par l'écran, au cours du retrait de la gaine exterieure, puis en dégageant l'écran et enfin par arrachement, déchirure ou coupure des languettes de continuité de la gaine interne. On peut prévoir, ainsi qu'illustré en pointillés, une rainure longitudinale de section en V telle que 36 ou 37 dans l'une et/ou l'autre des deux languettes pour faciliter l'ouverture de la gaine interne. Les conducteurs isolés sont ainsi dégagés et la gaine interne ou plus précisément de ses deux portions cylindriques sont sectionnées sur une longueur convenable.The stripping of the cable according to FIGS. 4 and 5 for access to its conductors is carried out by cutting the outer sheath 6 to the appropriate length, this posing no particular problem or risk for the conductors in the internal sheath and protected by the screen, during the removal of the outer sheath, then releasing the screen and finally by tearing, tearing or cutting the continuity tabs of the internal sheath. One can provide, as illustrated in dotted lines, a longitudinal groove of V section such as 36 or 37 in one and / or the other of the two tabs to facilitate the opening of the internal sheath. The insulated conductors are thus released and the internal sheath or more precisely of its two cylindrical portions are sectioned over a suitable length.

En variante par rapport à ces figures, la gaine continue interne peut maintenir côte-à-côte deux paires et non pas deux quartes, en les séparant l'une de l'autre. En variante également la gaine exterieure peut assurer l'assemblage côte à côte de deux premiers quartes ou paires qui sont regroupées dans leur gaine interne continue en étant séparées l'une de l'autre et deux deuxièmes quartes ou paires qui sont elles-mêmes regroupées dans leur propre gaine interne continue en étant séparées l'une de l'autre.As a variant with respect to these figures, the internal continuous sheath can maintain two pairs side by side and not two quarters, by separating them from one another. Alternatively also the outer sheath can ensure the assembly side by side of the first two quarters or pairs which are grouped in their continuous internal sheath being separated from each other and two second quarters or pairs which are themselves grouped in their own internal sheath continues being separated from each other.

Le câble selon les figures 4 et 5 est de performances améliorées. Il permet d'obtenir de faibles niveaux de diaphonie de l'ordre de -60 dB à 20 MHz et -50 dB à 100 MHz aussi bien dans chaque quarte ou paire qu'entre les quartes ou paires.The cable according to FIGS. 4 and 5 has improved performance. It makes it possible to obtain low levels of crosstalk on the order of -60 dB at 20 MHz and -50 dB at 100 MHz as well in each quarter or pair as between the quarters or pairs.

Les câbles selon la présente invention sont en particulier des câbles de transmission de données et/ou téléphoniques, utilisés à l'intérieur de bâtiments. Ils sont en général à nombre de conducteurs isolés ou d'ensembles constitués relativement réduit. Ils permettent l'accès aisé et rapide à leurs conducteurs isolés, sans risque de blessure et sans outil spécial de dégainage, en particulier pour leur raccordement direct à des équipements, sur des connexions autodénudantes de ces équipements. Les câbles illustrés dans les dessins et décrits ci-avant sont des exemples de réalisation de tels câbles.The cables according to the present invention are in particular data and / or telephone transmission cables, used inside buildings. They are generally with a relatively small number of insulated conductors or of assembled assemblies. They allow easy and quick access to their isolated conductors, without risk of injury and without special stripping tool, in particular for their direct connection to equipment, on insulation displacement connections of this equipment. The cables illustrated in the drawings and described above are examples of embodiment of such cables.

Ces câbles peuvent aussi être des câbles mixtes dont au moins l'un des deux groupes comporte alors en outre des conducteurs optiques protégés individuellement ou globalement et en particulier sous forme de ruban.These cables can also be mixed cables of which at least one of the two groups then further comprises optical conductors protected individually or globally and in particular in the form of a ribbon.
