Abstract
A twisted pair flat cable suitable for use in undercarpet environments is disclosed. A plurality of twisted pairs are positioned side-by-side, each in separate compartments formed within a hollow envelope of an extruded outer sheath. Separator ribs which do not extend across the entire height of the sheath prevent lateral movement of twisted pairs out of their respective compartments. By cutting the outer sheath at only one location, the outer sheath can be folded back to deploy the twisted pairs for termination. Laterally adjacent solid members suitable for withstanding compressive loads can be employed with a centrally disposed sheath.
