A transmission system in a downhole component comprises a data
transmission element in both ends of the downhole component. Each data
transmission element houses an electrically conducting coil in a MCEI
circular trough. The electrically conducting coil comprises at least two
generally fractional loops. In the preferred embodiment, the transmission
elements are connected by an electrical conductor. Preferably, the
electrical conductor is a coaxial cable. Preferably, the MCEI trough
comprises ferrite. In the preferred embodiment, the fractional loops are
connected by a connecting cable. In one aspect of the present invention,
the connecting cable is a pair of twisted wires. In one embodiment the
connecting cable is a shielded pair of twisted wires. In another aspect
of the present invention, the connecting cable is a coaxial cable. The
connecting cable may be disposed outside of the MCEI circular trough.
