Claim:
1. A fixed tape control high performance data cable, comprising: a plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors; a filler comprising a plurality of arms separating each twisted pair of insulated conductors, each arm having a terminal portion; a multi-layer conductive barrier tape surrounding the filler and plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors, the multi-layer conductive barrier tape comprising a continuous conductive material contained between two layers of a dielectric material, the conductive material of the barrier tape extending to each lateral edge of the two layers of the dielectric material; and a jacket surrounding the conductive barrier tape; wherein the filler is configured in a helical twist at a first angle; and wherein the conductive barrier tape is configured in a helical twist at the first angle, and a seam of the conductive barrier tape is positioned above a terminal portion of an arm of the filler.
