Modulating The Twist

“Through advanced mathematics, sine waves or sinusoids helped us vastly improve LANmark cables.”

Creating smooth irregularity

Nature may abhor a vacuum, but data cables don’t like parallelism or regularity which cause interference (crosstalk), and at high frequencies: return loss peaks. Twisting always helps, but this LAN data cable modulates the combined twist (cable lay or pitch) of all four copper pairs to further avoid regularity and improve performance.

High-frequency solution

Originally data cables operated at 10 Megabits, but now 10 Gigabits is the norm: 1,000 faster and at higher frequencies! Troublesome return loss peaks could be avoided by using shorter and more tightly twisted lays which would significantly slow production with our existing machinery, or require new investment. This invention achieves the same goal with variable longer lays.
