Abstract
A cable (20) which is particularly suited to the transmission of substantially error-free data at relatively high rates over relatively long distances includes at least two pairs of individually insulated conductors (42--42). The pairs of individually insulated conductors are enclosed in a tubular member (51) comprising a plastic material. A metallic shield (54) may or may not enclose the tubular member, and in a preferred embodiment, a plastic jacket (58) is provided. The twist length of each pair of insulated conductors does not exceed a value equal to the product of about forty and the outer diameter of the plastic insulation. Further, the twist lengths among the conductor pairs are varied in accordance with a twist frequency scheme modulated by non-uniform increments of twist frequency.
