1. A multi-pair cable, comprising:
- a) a plurality of twisted pairs, each of the twisted pairs including a first conductor surrounded by an insulating layer and a second conductor surrounded by an insulating layer, the first and second conductors being twisted about a longitudinal axis;
b) an inner jacket surrounding the plurality of twisted pairs, the inner jacket including channels formed in an inner surface of the inner jacket, each of the channels of the inner jacket having the same cross-sectional area; and
c) an outer jacket surrounding the inner jacket, the outer jacket including channels formed in an inner surface of the outer jacket, each of the channels of the outer jacket having the same cross-sectional area.

Abstract
A multi-pair cable having a double jacket, including an inner jacket and an outer jacket. The inner and outer jackets each including channels formed on an inner surface. The channeled double jacket of the cable reducing the occurrence of alien crosstalk between adjacent cables by reducing the overall dielectric constant of the cable and increasing the center-to-center distance between adjacent cables. The channeled double jacket of the cable still accommodating existing standard cable connectors.
