Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a jacket for use in a telecommunications cable. The jacket includes a jacket body. The jacket body extends along a longitudinal axis of the telecommunications cable. The longitudinal axis passes through a geometrical center of the telecommunications cable. The jacket body includes a first surface. The first surface surrounds core region of the telecommunications cable. The first surface defines a plurality of grooves extending radially outwardly from the longitudinal axis of the telecommunications cable. The plurality of grooves includes a first groove area section and a second groove area section. The first groove area section and the second groove area section are in continuous contact with each other. In addition, the jacket body includes a second surface. The second surface extends along the longitudinal axis of the telecommunications cable and disposed in a spaced relation to the first surface.

Claim (Index 15):
A telecommunications cable comprising:\n one or more twisted pairs of insulated conductors extending substantially along a longitudinal axis of the telecommunications cable, wherein each of the one or more twisted pairs of insulated conductors comprises:\n at least one electrical conductor, wherein the electrical conductor extends along the longitudinal axis of the telecommunications cable; and \n at least one insulation layer surrounding the electrical conductor, wherein the insulation layer extends along the longitudinal axis of the telecommunications cable; \n at least one separator for separating each twisted pair of insulated conductor of the one or more twisted pairs of insulated conductors, wherein the separator extends along the longitudinal axis of the telecommunications cable; and \n a jacket comprising:\n a jacket body extending along a longitudinal axis passing through a geometrical center of the telecommunications cable, wherein the jacket body comprises:\n a first surface surrounding a core region of the telecommunications cable, wherein the first surface defines a plurality of grooves extending radially outwardly from the longitudinal axis of the telecommunications cable, wherein each of the plurality of grooves comprises of a first groove area section and a second groove area section, wherein the first groove area section is defined by a first radial thickness T 1  lying in a range of about 0.3 millimeter to 1 millimeters, wherein the second groove area section is defined by a first circumferential arc length L 1  lying in a range of about 0.2 millimeter to 1 millimeters, wherein a second radial thickness T 2  between the first groove area section and the first surface is lying in a range of about 0.3 millimeter to 1 millimeter, wherein a second circumferential arc length L 2  between two consecutive first groove area section lies in a range of about 0.2 millimeter to 1 millimeter, wherein a third circumferential arc length L 3  between two consecutive second groove area section lies in a range of about 1 millimeter to 5 millimeters; and \n a second surface extending along the longitudinal axis of the telecommunications cable and disposed in a spaced relation to the first surface, wherein the second surface is disposed at a radially outwardly position and at a radial distance of at least 0.8 millimeters from the first surface, wherein a third radial thickness T 3  between the first groove area section and the second surface is lying in a range of about 0.3 millimeter to 1 millimeter; and \n \u2003wherein the jacket is made of a material selected from a group consisting of polyvinyl chloride, polyolefin, low smoke zero halogen, low smoke flame retardant zero halogen and thermoplastic polyurethane, wherein the jacket has a first diameter in a range of about 4 millimeters to 8.2 millimeters, wherein the jacket has a second diameter in a range of about 5 millimeters to 9 millimeters \n \u2003wherein the first surface and the second surface collectively forms a mushroom shape having a plurality of smooth edges, wherein structure of the jacket enables increase in air gap between cable pairs and the jacket and provides better protection against alien cross talk from surrounding cables at a wide frequency range.
