Abstract:
1. An electrical cable, comprising: a cable jacket defining a central longitudinal axis; a plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors oriented longitudinally within said cable jacket, each of said twisted pairs of insulated conductors defining a width; a filler element disposed in said cable jacket and located adjacent to at least one of said twisted pairs of insulated conductors and a portion of said cable jacket, a space between said portion of said cable jacket and said filler element being devoid of any twisted pairs of insulated conductors, said filler element defining a width that is substantially larger than said width of each said twisted pairs of insulated conductors, and said filler element having a central axis laterally offset from said central longitudinal axis of said cable jacket, said filler element reduces alien crosstalk from an adjacent cable; and at least one separator disposed in said cable jacket between said twisted pairs of insulated conductors to reduce crosstalk between said twisted pairs of insulated conductors.
