Abstract:
A cable comprising:a plurality of twisted pairs of conductors; and a crossweb running longitudinally along at least a portion of a length of the twisted pairs of conductors, the crossweb having a central region approximately in a center of the cable and a plurality of fins extending outwardly from the central region, a given one of the fins separating at least a first one of the twisted pairs of conductors from at least a second one of the twisted pairs of conductors; wherein at least the given one of the fins has a substantially elliptical shape and a variable thickness along a cross-sectional length thereof from the central region to an opposing end of the fin with a maximum of the variable thickness being in a portion of the fin between the central region and the opposing end of the fin aligned with the cross-sectional centers of the twisted pairs of conductors between which the fin resides.
