Twisted Pair Cable
This option defines twisted pair cables with specified insulation, radius, twist pitch length and direction.
Figure 1. The CD - Cable cross section definition dialog.
Parameters:
- Cross section label
- The label of the cross section.
- Core
-
- PEC
- Select this option to set the core of the cable to PEC.
- Material label
- The label of the metallic medium (as defined in the DI card) to be used for the core.
- Core radius
- The radius of the core.
- Insulation
-
- Material label
- The label of the material (as defined in the DI card) to be used for the insulation layer.
- Thickness
- The thickness of the insulation layer (optional).
- Twisted pair
-
- Turn direction
- Select left or right turn direction for the twisted pair.
- Twist pitch length
- The axial length in which a twisted pair strand returns to its original relative position in a twisted conductor.
- Radius
- The outer radius of the twisted pair cable.
- Cable per-unit-length parameters accuracy
- The Cable per-unit-length parameters accuracy can be increased from Normal (default) to High or Very high.
