1. A patch cord, comprising:
- a) a cable having a first end and a second end, the cable including;
i) a first twisted pair of conductors having a mean lay length of about 0.288 inches;
ii) a second twisted pair of conductors having a mean lay length of about 0.330 inches;
iii) a third twisted pair of conductors having a mean lay length of about 0.306 inches; and
iv) a fourth twisted pair of conductors having a mean lay length of about 0.347 inches; and
b) a connector attached to one of the first and second ends of the cable, the connector defining four apertures that each receive one of the twisted pairs, the connector further including eight channels that define consecutive channel positions 1 through 8, wherein;
i) the conductors of the second twisted pair are positioned within channel positions 1 and 2;
ii) the conductors of the third twisted pair are positioned within channel positions 4 and 5;
iii) the conductors of the fourth twisted pair are positioned within channel positions 7 and 8;
iv) the conductors of the first twisted pair are positioned within channel positions 3 and 6.

Abstract
A multi-pair cable having a plurality of twisted conductor pairs. The twisted conductor pairs each have an initial lay length that is different from that of the other twisted conductor pairs. The plurality of twisted conductor pairs defines a cable core. The core is twisted at a varying twist rate such that the cable core has a mean lay length of less than 2.5 inches.
