A data transmission cable for connection to mobile devices, which has at least two insulated conductors twisted together into a pair. The method includes reducing motor torque, and subsequently controlling the torque converter or the step ratio automatic transmission while maintaining engine torque constant during a wheel slip condition of the traction control event to lower driving force transmitted from a driving wheel to a road surface. The delay line is suitable for incorporation into a PMD compensator having at least one compensation stage formed from a polarization controller and an athermalized delay line. The plurality of optical fibers may have respective second ends arranged to output respective optical signals indicative of respective levels of solar radiance over the respective locations of the field. The gate electrode is formed over the silicon-containing barrier layer.
