1. An unshielded data cable comprising:
- a plurality of twisted pairs of conductors;
a non-conductive central core having a surface that defines a plurality of channels within which the plurality of twisted pairs of conductors are individually disposed;
an outer jacket that maintains the plurality of twisted pairs of conductors in position with respect to the non-conductive central core, the outer jacket being formed of a non-conductive material; and
wherein the unshielded data cable does not include a shield that encloses any of the plurality of conductors and the non-conductive central core.

Abstract
A cable exhibiting reduced crosstalk between transmission media includes a core having a profile with a shape which defines spaces or channels to maintain a spacing between transmission media in a finished cable. The core is formed of a conductive material to further reduce crosstalk. A method of producing a cable introduces a core as described above into the cable assembly and imparts a cable closing twist to the assembly.
