Abstract
A method and apparatus for adjusting the coupling reactances between twisted pairs contained within a data communications cable is disclosed. An isolation element is used to isolate one or more twisted pairs of wires from the other twisted pairs of wires contained within the data communications cable. The isolation element may be constructed of dielectric, conductive, or ferromagnetic materials or a combination thereof. It may also include various shapes, patterns, and/or windows for creating a specified level of crosstalk among the twisted pairs contained within the cable.
