1. A separator for a communication cable, comprising:
- a body including,at least one segment adapted to define at least first and second quadrants in the communication cable for separating wires, said at least one segment having at least one part with a first width, andsaid at least one segment including at least one geometric feature spaced from a terminal end of said segment, said geometric feature having a geometric shape defining a discrete portion of said segment, said geometric feature having a second width larger than said first width of said segment, whereby the difference between said first and second widths represents at least one reduced area of said body.

Abstract
A separator for a communication cable that has a body including at least one segment adapted to define at least first and second quadrants in the communication cable for separating wires. The at least one segment has at least one part with a first width. The at least one segment includes at least one geometric feature spaced from a terminal end of the segment. The geometric feature has a geometric shape defines a discrete portion of the segment. The geometric feature has a second width larger than the first width, whereby the difference between the first and second widths represents at least one reduced area of the body.

8. A separator for a communication cable, comprising:
a body including, a plurality of segments adapted to define a plurality of quadrants in the communication cable for separating wires, each of said segments having a terminal end, said segments meeting at a junction point of said body, and each of said plurality of segments having at least one geometric feature, each of said geometric features being located between said junction point of said body and said terminal end of each of said segments, said geometric features having a geometric shape defining a discrete portion of each of said segments to form at least one reduced area of said body. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A communication cable, comprising:
-
a jacket; a separator received in said jacket, said separator including, a body having a plurality of segments adapted to define a plurality of quadrants within said jacket, each of said segments having a terminal end, said segments being substantially perpendicular with respect to one another, said plurality of segments meet at a junction point of said body, and at least one geometric feature located between said terminal end of each of said segments and said junction point of said body, each of said geometric features having a geometric shape defining a discrete portion of each of said segments to form at least one reduced area of said body wherein at least one geometric feature extends into each of said quadrants; and at least one wire pair supported in each of said quadrants. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27)
