Claim Text:
1. A twisted pair of conductors, said pair comprising: a first insulated conductor having a series of peaks and valleys forming a profiled insulation; and a second insulated conductor having a series of peaks and valleys forming a profiled insulation, wherein said first and second insulated conductors are twisted around one another in a first direction into a twisted pair; wherein said first and second insulated conductors are both independently forward twisted along their own individual axis in the same first direction as the direction of twist of said twisted pair prior to being twisted into said twisted pair such that peaks of said first and second insulated conductors abut one another in a substantially non-parallel manner, so as to substantially prevent said peaks of said profiled insulation of said first and second conductors from nesting in said valleys of said profiled insulation on the corresponding first and second conductors in said pair, so that the distance between two conductors is maximized in a twisted pair along the length of the entire twisted pair, wherein said first and second insulated conductors are both forward twisted in the same first direction as the direction of twist of said pair at a range of substantially 83% to 100%.
