An improved twisted pair telecommunications cable according to the invention includes a plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors, and a substantially flat configurable pair separator disposed between the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors along a longitudinal length of the telecommunications cable. The twisted pair communications cable also includes a jacket assembly enclosing the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors and the substantially flat pair separator. The substantially flat pair separator separates each twisted pair of insulated conductors from every other twisted pair of insulated conductors with a spacing sufficient to provide a desired crosstalk isolation between each of the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors.

Multi-pair data cable with configurable core filling and pair separation

An improved data telecommunications cable according to the invention includes a plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors, and a substantially flat configurable dielectric separator disposed between the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors along a longitudinal length of the telecommunications cable. The data communications cable also includes a jacket assembly enclosing the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors and the substantially flat dielectric pair separator. The substantially flat dielectric pair separator separates each twisted pair of insulated conductors from every other twisted pair of insulated conductors with a spacing sufficient to provide a desired crosstalk isolation between each of the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors.

An improved data telecommunications cable includes a plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors and at least one configurable tape separator disposed between the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors along a longitudinal length of the cable. The communications cable also includes a jacket assembly enclosing the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors and the configurable tape separator. The configurable tape separator separates at least one of the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors from others of the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors with a spacing sufficient to provide a desired crosstalk isolation between each of the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors. The configurable tape separator may include a dielectric tape and one or more conductive or partially conductive layers.

An improved data telecommunications cable according to the invention includes a plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors, and a dielectric pair separator formed with a plurality of folds, to provide a plurality of grooves extending along a longitudinal length of the dielectric filler. Each twisted pair of insulated conductors is disposed within a groove of the dielectric pair separator. The data communications cable also includes a jacket assembly enclosing the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors and the dielectric pair separator. The dielectric pair separator separates each twisted pair of insulated conductors from every other twisted pair of insulated conductors with a spacing sufficient to provide a desired crosstalk isolation between each of the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors. With this arrangement, the data communications cable of the invention may be used in high speed data transmissions while maintaining a form factor that has desired flexibility and workability, and provides a cable that is compatible with industry standard hardware, such as plugs and jacks. The data communications cable of the invention also has the additional benefit of a reduced size.

A telecommunications cable is disclosed in which a plurality of inwardly extending projections from the cable jacket, form a first and second plurality of substantially parallel longitudinal channels within the cable jacket. The first and second plurality of longitudinal channels are spaced apart from one another with respect to a reference line that transverses the cable, wherein the plurality of inwardly extending projections provide the spaced apart distance between the first plurality and the second plurality of longitudinally extending channels and between corresponding transmission media disposed within the first and second plurality of longitudinally extending channels. With this arrangement, cross talk between the transmission media within the cable is reduced and alien crosstalk between adjacently disposed or stacked cables is also reduced.
