A multi-pair cable with four twisted pairs all with differing lay lengths to reduce cross talk

摘要

A multi-pair cable (10) having a plurality of twisted conductor pairs (12, 14). The twisted conductor pairs each have an initial lay length that is different from that of the other twisted conductor pairs to reduce crosstalk. The plurality of twisted conductor pairs defines a cable core (20). The core is twisted at a varying twist rate such that the cable core has a mean lay length of less than 2.5 inches.
