1. Field of the Invention
The present disclosure relates to wire arrangement of a flat cable.
2. Description of Related Arts
Taiwan Patent No. 389916, issued on Oct. 1, 2010, discloses a cable of a flat type structure. The cable includes an outside layer enclosing data transmission wires and power transmission wires. The data transmission wires and the power transmission wires are arranged intimately close to each other.
China Patent No. 204303404, issued on Apr. 29, 2015, discloses a flat wire cable. The flat wire cable includes multiple conductive core wires conforming to Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 specification. Insulation dielectric layers enclose corresponding core wires and wrapping layers enclose corresponding insulation dielectric layers. The flat wire cable further comprises an inner jacket and an outer jacket which sequentially wrap all the core wires.
An improved cable is desired.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a flat cable with stable structure and good bending capability.
To achieve the above object, a cable includes a power wire, a ground wire, data transmission wires between the power wire and the ground wire, and an insulating outer layer enclosing the power wire, the ground wire, and the data transmission wires. The power wire includes a conductor, an insulating layer outside conductor, and a metal shielding layer outside the insulating layer. The power wire and the data transmission wire are spaced from each other by plastic materials.
Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to
The cable 100 is flat and complies with USB 2.0 cable specification.
The power wire 1 includes a conductor 11, an insulating layer 12 coated outside conductor 11, and a metal shielding layer 13 coated outside the insulating layer 12. The power wire 1 and the data transmission wires 2 are filled with plastic materials to improve the bending performance of the cable 100. The metal shield layer 13 of the power wire 1 is a wound metal shield layer 131. The metal shielding layer 13 is used as a ground return with the ground wire 3 and the metal braid layer 23 of the data transmission wires 2, which is beneficial for reducing ground resistance, reducing voltage drop, and realizing fast charging.
The data transmission wires 2 include a pair of differential signal wires 21, an inner shield layer 22 coated on the outer side of the pair of differential signal wires 21, and a metal braid layer 23 coated on the outer side of the inner shield 22. The inner shield layer 22 is an aluminum foil layer. The inner shield 22 is made of aluminum foil or PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) material. Each of the differential signal wires 21 includes a signal conductor 211 and an insulating layer 212 covered on the outside of the signal conductor 211.
The ground wire 3 is a bare conductor. The power wire 1 and the data transmission wires 2 are filled with plastic materials. Notably, according to the
