Patent ID: 7612289

Claim:
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, said filler element defining a width that is substantially larger than said width of one of 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 reducing alien crosstalk from an adjacent cable; and a single separator generally centrally disposed in said cable jacket between said twisted pairs of insulated conductors to reduce crosstalk between said twisted pairs of insulated conductors, and said filler element being located outside of said single separator, wherein a second filler element is disposed in said cable jacket; said second filler element has a central axis laterally offset from said central longitudinal axis of said cable jacket; and said second filler element defines a width that is substantially larger than said width of one of said twisted pairs of insulated conductors.
