Twisted pair cable having improved crosstalk isolation
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A cable comprising:
- a first twisted pair of insulated conductors;
a second twisted pair of insulated conductors;
a separator positioned so as to separate the first twisted pair from the second twisted pair; and
a jacket disposed about the first and second twisted pairs and the separator;
wherein the separator comprises a central arm and at least one enlarged portion positioned at one end of the central arm and positioned at least partially around the first twisted pair of insulated conductors so as to create an outward projection of the jacket; and
wherein the at least one enlarged portion wraps around the first twisted pair of insulated conductors such that a line drawn from a center of the central arm of the separator and through a center of the first twisted pair of conductors substantially bisects the enlarged portion.

Abstract
A cable that provides reduced alien crosstalk between similar twisted pairs in cables that are in close proximity to one another and/or crosstalk between twisted pairs of the cable. In one example, a cable includes a first twisted pair of insulated conductors, a second twisted pair of insulated conductors, a shaped separator positioned so as to separate the first twisted pair from the second twisted pair, and a jacket disposed about the first and second twisted pairs and the separator, wherein the shaped separator comprises a central arm and at least one enlarged portion disposed at a first end of the central arm.
