Intersheaths Between Cable Braids

Abstract

The screen efficacy of a double braided cable can be improved by the thickening of the insulating intersheath between the braids and by reducing its dielectric constant. Improvement also accompanies an increase in the power factor of the intersheath, however, this is only significant at the higher radio frequencies. It is shown to be important that the radial thickness of the intersheath be uniform around the circumference in order that the two braids be concentric.
