Abstract

A communication cable that comprises a jacket, a twisted wire group, and a single separator received in a core of the jacket. The separator includes a body that has first and second segments adapted to define quadrants in the communication cable. The first and second segments are substantially perpendicular to each other and define a junction point of the first and second segments. Each segment includes a main portion and a terminal end remote from the junction point of the segments. Each of the terminal ends has a shape such that each of the terminal ends is wider than the main portions of the segments. An air pocket is defined between the terminal ends of the first and second segments. The air pocket includes a gap sized such that the air pocket is substantially enclosed, wherein the twisted wire group is prevented from entering the air pocket.
