1. A twisted wire pair comprising:
- a first wire and a second wire, the first and second wires being twisted about one another to form a twisted pair; and
the first and second wires each including;
a conductor; and
an insulator surrounding the conductor, the insulator defining at least twelve channels having lengths that run generally along a length of the conductor, the at least twelve channels being circumferentially spaced relative to one another about the conductor, wherein all of the at least twelve channels include either channels surrounded on all sides by the insulator or channels each having an open side that faces toward the conductor.
