DATA CABLE WITH CROSS-TWIST CABLED CORE PROFILE
First Claim
1. A cable for data transmission, the cable comprising:
- a plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors including a first twisted pair and a second twisted pair, each twisted pair comprising two insulated conductors twisted together in a helical manner;
a binder substantially surrounding the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors;
a jacket surrounding the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors and the binder; and
an element disposed between the binder and the jacket along a length of the cable, the element providing an air gap between the jacket and the binder.

Abstract
Cables including a plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors and a jacket surrounding the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors, the jacket including a plurality of protrusions extending away from an inner circumferential surface of the jacket toward a center of the cable. The plurality of protrusions are configured so as to hold the plurality of twisted pairs away from the inner circumferential surface of the jacket, and may provide an air gap between the plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors and the inner circumferential surface of the jacket, thereby reducing susceptibility of the plurality of twisted pairs to alien near end crosstalk.

22-1. A cable for data transmission, the cable comprising:
-
a plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors including a first twisted pair and a second twisted pair, each twisted pair comprising two insulated conductors helically twisted together;
a helixed spline comprising a plurality of fins extending outwardly from a central connection point to create a plurality of channels, each channel being defined by a pair of fins, the helixed spline having a substantially dielectric body, and the fins each having a base connected to the central connection point and a tip; and
a conductive layer disposed on the tips of the fins;
wherein the twisted pairs of insulated conductors are disposed at least partially within the plurality of channels.
