Abstract
The present invention relates to a flat-type communication cable for carrying frequencies in excess of 4 Mhz. The cable has a plurality of longitudinally extending conductor passageways positioned side-by-side and preferably at least four passageways such that there are two end longitudinal passageways and a plurality of side-by-side intermediate passageways. Each passageway has a longitudinally extending opening which opens to an adjacent passageway. There are twisted pair conductors loosely located in each of the passageways with not more than one twisted pair conductor being in each passageway. Each twisted pair conductor has a cross-sectional envelope area less than a cross-sectional envelope area of the passageway in which the twisted pair is contained.
