Abstract:
The present disclosure provides an M-jacket for use in a telecommunications cable. The M-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 a core region of the telecommunications cable. The first surface defines a plurality of first grooves extending radially outwardly from the longitudinal axis of the telecommunications cable and a plurality of second grooves extending radially outwardly from the longitudinal axis of the telecommunications cable. The plurality of second grooves is disposed at an interstitial position between the plurality of first grooves. 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 5):
A telecommunications cable comprising:\n a plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors extending substantially along a longitudinal axis of the telecommunications cable, wherein each of the plurality of 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 plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors, wherein the separator extends along the longitudinal axis of the telecommunications cable; and 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 first grooves extending radially outwardly from the longitudinal axis of the telecommunications cable and a plurality of second grooves extending radially outwardly from the longitudinal axis of the telecommunications cable and disposed at an interstitial position between the plurality of first grooves, wherein each of the plurality of first grooves is defined by a first circumferential arc length L 1  in a range of about 1 millimeter to 6 millimeters, wherein the interstitial position between the plurality of first grooves is defined by a second circumferential arc length L 2  in a range of about 0.2 millimeters to 2 millimeters and wherein each of the plurality of first grooves has a pre-defined radial thickness in a range of about 0.3 millimeters to 1 millimeter, wherein the plurality of second grooves has a M shape; and \n a second surface extending along a length 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 0.3 millimeters from the first surface, wherein a radial distance between pointed edges of the plurality of first grooves and the plurality of second grooves and a second surface lies in a range of about 0.4 millimeter to 1.8 millimeters, wherein 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,\n wherein the jacket has a first diameter in a range of about 4 millimeters to 8 millimeters, wherein the jacket has a second diameter in a range of about 5 millimeters to 9 millimeters.
