By the way, it is predicted that electronic devices such as computers will be required to have higher data processing and transmission speeds in the future, but this is merely from the viewpoint of increasing the propagation delay time. Is difficult to achieve. It is indispensable to realize so-called low skew, such as reducing the propagation delay time difference within the differential pair and between the differential pairs. Although the propagation delay time can be increased by increasing the porosity of the low-density insulating layer, if the porosity is simply increased, the dispersion of the longitudinal voids becomes large and the propagation delay time varies immediately. I will end up. That is, the speedup of propagation delay time and the reduction of skew are contradictory characteristics, and it is extremely difficult to simultaneously achieve these two requirements. Further, in the above-described conventional type 1 to 4 type cables, since the signal conductors are individually manufactured and the outer conductors are formed on the two cores, the variation in the porosity of each signal core is different in the longitudinal direction. There is a problem in that the skew value in the differential pair becomes large due to this. In addition, in the conventional 1 to 4 type cables, for example, the hue of the skin layer is changed to distinguish the two signal cores 4 and 4 (2
I also identified the center conductor of the book. Further, since PVC (polyvinyl chloride resin) is used as the material of the jacket 7, it has recently been pointed out that there is an environmental problem as a halogen-containing resin.

As a first aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides two cores of a central conductor and an intervening one core made of a solid insulating material or a low density insulating material having a small relative dielectric constant and sandwiched between the two cores. A total of three cores are arranged in parallel while maintaining a three-core flat structure, and the outer periphery thereof is collectively covered with a low-density insulating layer formed by winding a porous PTFE resin tape, and preferably the outer periphery of this low-density insulating layer is covered. A solid fluororesin skin layer is formed to form a signal core, and a metal laminate tape is attached to the outer periphery of the signal core.
A low-skew high-speed differential cable is characterized in that an outer conductor is formed by winding or vertically attaching a metal vapor deposition tape or a metal tape on the inside of a metal surface, and further covering the outer periphery with a jacket. In the differential cable of the first aspect, the two cores of the central conductor are arranged on both sides of the interposition made of a solid or low-density insulating material having a small relative permittivity, and the three-core flat shape is maintained while maintaining excellent low-electricity characteristics. Since the density insulating layer is covered all at once, the porosity of the low density insulating layer between the two cores adjacent to each other through the interposition becomes equal in the longitudinal direction, and the propagation delay time difference in the differential pair (in-pair skew value) Can be very small. Further, in the differential cable of the present invention, the number of manufacturing steps of the signal core can be reduced, and the cable cost can be suppressed, as compared with the conventional case where the signal core is individually manufactured. When a skin layer is provided on the signal core, the porous PTFE insulating layer, which is soft and easily crushed, is protected from external pressure during cable manufacturing process, cable construction, or general use to reduce electrical impedance such as characteristic impedance. Deterioration can be prevented. Therefore, in the differential cable of the present invention, variations in the propagation delay time within the differential pair can be suppressed, and high propagation delay time and low skew can be achieved at the same time.

In the manufacture of the high-speed differential cable 10, the central conductors 1a and 1b and the drain wire 5 are AWG28.
I used a silver plated annealed copper stranded wire of No.
Wires with different configurations and materials, or non-plated wire may be used. In addition to the solid insulating material, a foam insulating material or a porous insulating material that is a low density insulating material may be used for the interposition between the two conductors. The intervening shape is the round shape of the first embodiment,
The second embodiment is not limited to the constricted shape on both sides, and may be a square or a star. In particular, the constricted intervening k'of the second embodiment is preferable because the center conductor can be surely positioned. The low-density insulating layer 2 of the signal core 4 can be changed to an insulating material other than porous PTFE resin having a small relative dielectric constant and a small dielectric loss tangent and excellent in electrical characteristics. It is valid. Although the aluminum polyester tape with the adhesive layer is used for the outer conductor 6, other metal laminated tape (including no adhesive layer), metal vapor deposition tape or metal tape may be used. Also, the thickness of the tape can be varied from 0.01 to 0.05 mm. Further, the method of forming the outer conductor 6 may be vertical winding as well as spiral winding of tape. Further, as the outer conductor 6, a so-called shield horizontal winding in which thin metal wires are arranged on the outer periphery of the signal core, or a braided shield can be substituted. In this case, the drain wire is unnecessary, and it is better to connect the element wires together to the ground. Further, the jacket 7 may be made of flame-retardant PVC or other plastic resin as usual.

As is clear from the test results of Table 2, in the low skew high speed differential cable of the present invention, the in-pair skew value was the smallest although the differential propagation delay time was high. The characteristic impedance was also good. On the other hand, the conventional type 1 high-speed differential cable
One of the signal cores (drain line side) in the differential pair was easily crushed, and the characteristic impedance and ground balance were lost, and the in-pair skew value was the maximum. In the conventional type 2 high-speed differential cable, the electrical balance of the two cores of the signal core was relatively secured, but the bendability of the cable was limited due to the positional relationship of the drain wires, and during assembly processing. Had to be careful of the drain wire sticking out and retracting. Further, in the conventional type 3 high-speed differential cable, it is difficult to control the tension of the signal line when twisted, and there is a large variation in the skew value in the pair, which is considered to be caused by the physical length shift. In addition, the finished cross section of the cable is close to a circle, and the finished outer diameter (minor diameter) is larger than that of the parallel type. Although the conventional 4-type high-speed differential cable was excellent in electrical characteristics, it was inferior to the low-skew high-speed differential cable of the present invention in terms of manufacturing man-hours and manufacturing costs.

According to the low-skew high-speed differential cable of the present invention, the porosity of the low-density insulating layer between the two core conductors adjacent to each other via the interposition becomes equal in the longitudinal direction, and the skew value within the pair is minimized. It became possible to make it smaller. In addition, it is possible to reduce the number of manufacturing steps of the signal core as compared with the case where the signal core is individually manufactured, and the cable cost can be kept low. Further, by providing the skin layer on the signal core, it is possible to prevent the low-density insulating layer from being crushed and prevent the deterioration of the electrical characteristics such as the decrease of the characteristic impedance. Furthermore, by arranging the drain wires in a flat shape on both outsides of the signal core, terminal processing becomes easier, the outer diameter (short diameter) of the cable becomes smaller, and high-density mounting becomes possible. Also improved. Then, the center conductor of the signal core can be identified by marking one side surface of the signal core or continuously providing a protrusion on one side shoulder of the jacket. Also, by using non-halogen flame-retardant olefin for the material of the jacket, it became an environmentally friendly cable. As described above, in the low-skew high-speed differential cable of the present invention, variations in electrical length are suppressed within the center conductor pair of the signal core, and it is possible to achieve both faster propagation delay time and lower skew at the same time. It became so. Therefore, the present invention is extremely effective in contributing to the industry.
