1. A high performance, multi-media communications cable comprising;

  • one or more cable support-separators and one or more metallic or fiber optic conductive media conductors or both, wherein one or more conduit tube(s) may exist within or exterior to said high performance, multi-media communications cable or said cable support-separators extending along a longitudinal length of said high performance, multi-media communications cable and wherein said conduit tube(s) provide said high performance, multi-media communications cable with eccentric or concentric shape;

    said conduit tube(s) each comprising varying outside diameters that are randomly or consistently varying along said longitudinal length of each said conduit tube wherein the various shapes, material thicknesses, diameters and sizes are provided around a constant centerline of each inner conduit,said conduit tube(s) extend along said longitudinal length of said high performance, multi-media communications cable or said cable support-separators, thereby varying overall cable diameters and wherein said conduit tube(s) lay longitudinally along or are helically wound around said high performance, multi-media communications cable or said cable support-separators internal to said high performance, multi-media communications cable wherein said conduit tube(s) comprise variable winding patterns with variable tensions and wherein said conduit tube(s) provide said high performance, multi-media communications cable with improved electrical performance, optical performance and/or reduced crosstalk.
