An Unshielded Twisted Pair Cable for Transmitting at Megabit Data Rates without the use of Baluns (NOT KNOWN IF PUBLISHED BECAUSE AUTHOR HAS LEFT AT&T)

The communication demands of business today require that manufacturers respond with solutions that are cost effective, labor effective and provide the desired level of performance at a price that is within line. What has been developed is a twisted multi-pair cable design that provides an alternative to multi-coax cable designs and results in a much sought-after cost reduction in the parallel data transmission between a mainframe computer and the associated peripherals. Innovations in cable design permit this alternative for multi-coax applications. Additionally, innovations in insulation compound have provided opportunities to develop low capacitance cables that surpass what the industry presently uses for data transmission.
