Definitions
- the wire pair combines a thick insulation base layer of low dielectric constant (cg. clear polyethylene) with a thin coat layer of colored and therefore relatively high dielectric constant insulation to achieve an overall low dielectric constant wire pair structure.
- low dielectric constant cg. clear polyethylene
- Polyethylene is attractive because of its excellent electrical properties including low dielectric constant and power factor, compared with other usable plastics, and high dielectric strength. It is also highly impermeable to water or water vapor and is available in the desired quantities at a reasonable price. Additionally, the long term price trend is downward.
- Polyethylene insulation is applied to the wire by an extrusion process.
- the polyethylene is supplied as granules previously compounded with an antioxidant.
- the granules, in which a pigment has been incorporated, are fed into the extruder and formed on the conductor as a uniform close fitting tube of insulation.
- Polyethylene has a dielectric constant at 1,000 cycles per second of approximately 2.3
- the capacitance losses of polyethylene telephone cables are greater than those of ribbon or pulp insulated cables.
- the pigments necessary to color code the wire increase the effective dielectric constant.
- the individual pairs in a telephone cable are twisted. During the twisting operation, one wire may twist more than the other wire. Thus, one wire in the finished cable will be longer than the other.
- the nonuniform twist causes capacitance unbalance between the pairs in the cable, and the difference in length of the wires of an individual pair causes both resistance unbalance and pairs to ground capacitance unbalance. Both resistance unbalance and capacitance unbalance are undesirable in telephone cable constructions.
- the pressure of the coat layer causes the nearest wire to be pushed off center during the extrusion process. I have found that this effect can be eliminated by introducing the coat layer upstream of the die so that the base layer and coat layers reach equilibrium pressure before entering the die. Preferably the coat layer is introduced into the die cup upstream of the end of the core tube supporting the wires as they enter the chamber.
- Another object of the invention is to provide telephone cable constructions employing polyethylene insulation.
- Still another object of the invention is to provide telephone cable constructions of the above character providing easy pair and individual conductor identification.
- Yet another object of the invention is to provide telephone cable constructions of the above character providing low resistance unbalance in each pair of wires.
- a further object of the invention is to provide telephone cable constructions of the above character providing more uniform pair twists.
- Yet a further object of the invention is to provide telephone cable constructions of the above character providing superior dielectric strength.
- Another object of the invention is to provide telephone cable constructions of the above character utilizing less conductor material than heretofore required to provide equivalent electrical characteristics.
- a further object of the invention is to provide telephone cable constructions of the above character of smaller gages than heretofore practical.
- Still another object of the invention is to provide telephone cable constructions of the above character having increased pair strength.
- Another object of the invention is to provide telephone cable constructions of the above character having a low effective dielectric constant in each pair of wires.
- Yet another object of the invention is to provide apparatus for extruding plastic insulation onto a pair of conductors simultaneously.
- a further object of the invention is to provide apparatus of the above character for extruding polyethylene insulation.
- a still further object of the invention is to provide apparatus of the above character for simultaneously applying a base coating to a pair of Wires and a surface coating uniformly about one of the wires.
- Another object of the invention is to provide improved multilayer insulation extruding apparatus for eliminating problems of wire centering in the insulation and nonuniform surface layer coating.
- Still another object of the invention is to provide apparatus of the above character for extruding a dififerent surface coating of insulation about a base coating of insulation about each of a pair of wires; the surface and base coatings being applied simultaneously.
- the invention accordingly comprises an article of manufacture possessing the features, properties and the relation of elements which will be exemplified in the articles hereinafter described; and apparatus for manufacturing the articles comprising the features of construction, combinations of elements and arrangements of parts which will be exemplified in the constructions hereinafter set forth.
- the scope of the invention will be indicated in the claims.

- FIGURE 2 is an enlarged perspective view, partially in cross section, of a pair of wires of the cable of FIG- URE 1;

- FIGURE 7 is a cross sectional view taken along the line 7-7 of FIGURE 6;
- FIGURE 8 is a cross sectional view taken along the line 88 of FIGURE 6;
- FIGURE 9 is an end view taken along the line 9-9 of FIGURE 6;
- FIGURE 10 is a cross sectional view similar to FIG- URE 7 of an alternative form of extruding apparatus according to the invention.
- FIGURE 11 is an enlarged cross sectional view similar to FIGURE 6 of an alternative extruding apparatus according to the invention.
- FIGURE 12 is a cross sectional view taken along the line 12-12 of FIGURE 11.
- the telephone cable 20 of the present invention generally comprises a conventional outer layer or layers of insulation 22 surrounding a plurality of pairs of wires 24, with or without an intermediate shield.
- a pair of wires 24 is shown in an enlarged view in FIGURE 2.
- Each pair of wires 24 comprises conductor wires 26 and 2-8.
- a base coat 30 of plastic insulation surrounds wire 26.
- Wire 28 is also surrounded by a base coat 32 of the same plastic material, but of thinner cross section.
- a web 34 is integrally formed with the base coat 30 and 32 to join the two wires 26 and 28 into a unified pair 24.
- the web is preferably very thin allowing the wires to take the shape shown in FIGURE 2 under their own Weight as they leave the extruder that applies the insulation.
- An outer coat layer 36 is preferably applied to surround base coat 32 about wire 28.
- the base 30 is preferably of one color and the outer coat 36 of another.
- the pair of wires 24 is shown at it leaves the insulation extruder in FIGURE 3.
- the coat 36 may be made quite thin as shown in FIGURE 4.
- FIGURE 5 An alternative embodiment of the invention providing minimum effective dielectric constant for the insulation is shown in FIGURE 5.
- the base layer 30 is transparent, the coat layer 36 about wire 28 is thin and of colored plastic material and a second coat layer 38 is applied on the base layer 30 about wire 26.
- the second coat layer 38 is colored a different color from coat layer 36 for color coding purposes.
- extruding apparatus of the invention is shown at 40 in FIGURE 6.
- the base layer of insulation 30 is fed to the extruder 40 about the core tube 42.
- the coat layer 36 is fed from an arcuate nozzle 46, see also FIG- URE 7, located upstream of the core tube 42. In this position the coat layer 36 reaches equilibrium pressure with the base layer 30 before entering the die 44 and thus uniformly coats wire 28 without disturbing the centering of wire 28 within the die 44.
- This is in contradistinction to the apparatus of the prior art as illustrated in British Patent No. 950,741 wherein the coat layer is introduced at the die 44. We have found that uniform coat layers cannot be applied in this manner as the pressure of the coat layer being introduced into the die decenters the wires as they pass through the die.
- the extruding apparatus shown in FIGURE 6 is preferred, wherein the nozzle 46 is located upstream of the core tube 42, an acceptable product may be manufactured on the extruding apparatus 50 illustrated in FIG- URE 11.
- a nozzle 52 supplies the base coat between the core tube 42 and the die 44.
- the product produced by this apparatus will not display the uniformity of products produced by the extruding apparatus 40 of FIGURE 6.
- the extruder 50 of FIGURE 11 cannot be used as the nozzle 52 in order to coat one wire must extend through an are greater than as shown in FIGURE 12.
- the second nozzle 48 may be easily incorporated in the apparatus, as shown in FIGURE 10.
- the outer insulation 22 is preferably formed of polyethylene.
- this may be less expensive polyvinylchloride.
- FIGURE 2 in prior art telephone cables, it has been found that serious difiiculties are encountered in producing practical cables if the diameters of the wires 26 and 28 are less than No. 24 wire; that is, have a diameter of .02010 inch.
- the wires may draw nonuniformly as the insulation is being applied and furthermore may twist nonuniforrnly when the pairs are being twisted together causing undesirable resistance and capacitance unbalance.
- the construction illustrated in the present application may be manufactured on the apparatus of the present invention using a No. 26 wire to meet essentially the same resistance and capacitance unbalance specifications.
- No. 26 wire has a diameter of .01594 inch. This results in a substantial saving in the amount of copper, the preferable conductor material on installations having low loop resistance. Furthermore, the overall diameter of the cable can then be reduced.
- the web 34 is preferably made very thin so that it often perforates, as shown in FIGURE 2. It should not be made so thin, however, that it allows the wires to separate in the cable.
- the web preferably has a thickness of .005 inch when high density polyethylene is used as the insulatin material, which is preferred.
- the wires 26 and 28 have a diameter of .0253 and are formed of bare soft copper.
- the outer diameter of the base layer 30 about wire 26 and the outer coat layer 36 about the wire 28 is .045 inch.
- the center to center distance between the wires 26 and 28 is preferably .060 inch for the standard .083 microfarads per mile exchange area cable and the web 34, as previously stated, has a thickness of .005 inch. While it is easier to make the coat layer 36 thick, as shown in FIGURES 2 and 3, it can be made very thin, as shown in FIGURE 4, and this is preferred.
- the base coat 30 is of clear transparent polyethylene and the separate coatings 36 and 38, also of polyethylene, are of different colors.
- This embodiment provides a lower effective dielectric constant since the dielectric constant of clear polyethylene is lower than that of colored polyethylene. This is generally true of all plastic insulation materials.
- the double coated wires have better dielectric qualities than single coated wires.
- each pair of wires 24 may be separated fromthe rest of the cable easily. In prior cables this was not always the case. If the splicer were looking for a red and blue pair, for example, he would find many individual red and blue wires in a cable and would have to strip back the outer insulation far enough to make certain that the red and blue wires he was looking at were twisted together to form an individual pair and were not wires from differing pairs. In the cable construction of the present invention, once the pair has been located by the color code it can be conveniently pulled away from the other pairs and the individually insulated conductors separated for the application of splicing terminals.
- FIGURES 6, 7, 8 and 9 the pairs 24 illustrated in FIGURES l, 2, 3 and 4 have the insulation extruded thereon in the extruding apparatus 40.
- the core tube 42 of the extruding apparatus 40 is supported in a core tube holder 54.
- the core tube holder 54 is held in the head assembly 56.
- a hole 58 in the head assembly communicates with a screw extruder that forces the base material into the head assembly 56 about the core tube holder 54.
- Die holder 60 is mounted to the head assembly 56 in a conventional manner.
- Die 44 is similarly conventionally mounted in die holder 60, as is wedge ring 62.
- the wedge ring 62 and die 44 form a cone shaped die cup leading to the die opening 64 shown in FIGURE 9.
- the die opening 64 is shaped in the form of the outer surface of the webbed pair 24.
- opening 64 has a diameter of .046, their centers are separated by .070 inch and the weblike opening therebetween is .006 inch wide. Note that the opening 64 is slightly larger than the resulting size of the outer surface of the insulation on. the pair 24 due to shrinkage of the high density polyethylene following extrusion.
- Core tube holder 54 has formed therein a semi-cylindrical sleeve portion 55 (FIGURES 6 and 8) which is cut away, as seen in FIGURES 6, 7 and 8, to form nozzle 46.
- a bore 66 in the head assembly 56 communicates with the nozzle 46.
- a fitting 68 and an adaptor 70 connect the bore 66 to a second screw extruder for extruding the coat layer insulation 36 through the nozzle 46.
- the cross section area of nozzle 46 decreases throughout its extent by about one-half in order to maintain pressure in the coat layer 36 as it is extruded therethrough.
- the coat layer slowly fans out from bore 66 until it forms a half cylinder surrounding the core tube 42. It then enters the cone shaped die cup formed by the walls of wedge ring 62 and die 44 where it tapers down to surround wire 28.
- the core tube holder 54 is further modified by a semi-cylindrical portion 57, FIGURES 6 and 7, which aids in supporting the ends 72 of the nozzle 46.
- the nozzle 46 as seen in FIGURE 7, completes very nearly a 180 arc and the ends 72 thereof are slightly larger in cross section than the mid portions thereof.
- the mid portions of the nozzle opening may be approximately .010 to .040 inch in width depending on the thickness desired for the coat layer 36.
- the coat layer 36 tends to arcuately spread out as it passes through the wedge ring 62 and die 44 and the coat fully covers conductor 28 as it leaves the die 44, as shown in FIGURES 1 through 5.
- a second nozzle 48 is provided, as shown in FIGURE 10.
- a second bore 74 in the head assembly 56 communicates with a third screw extruder for extruding the second coat layer 38.
- sleeve portion 55 of the core tube holder 54 forms a complete cylinder and is cut away on opposite sides to form nozzles 46 and 48.
- the base coat is supplied through bore 75 at right angles to bores 66 and 74.
- Nozzle 48 is shaped in the same manner as nozzle 46.
- core tube 42 and core tube holder 54 are mounted in head assembly 76.
- Die holder 60 is mounted to head assembly 76.
- Die 44 is mounted in die holder 60.
- the wedge ring 78 is modified to provide an arcuate nozzle 52 therein.
- wedge ring 78 comprises two interfitting conically surfaced pieces 80 and 82 forming a conical channel therein to form nozzle 52.
- Nozzle 52 communicates through a bore 84 in die holder 60 and through a fitting 86 and on adaptor 88 connected to a screw extruder for forcing coat layer 36 into the opening in the head assembly.
- the base coat 30 is supplied about the core tube holder 54.
