1. A twisted wire pair comprising:
- a first wire and a second wire, the first and second wires being twisted about one another to form a twisted pair; and
the first and second wires each including;
a conductor; and
an insulator surrounding the conductor, the insulator defining at least twelve channels having lengths that run generally along a length of the conductor, the at least twelve channels being circumferentially spaced relative to one another about the conductor, wherein the at least twelve channels include a first plurality of channels each having an open side that faces toward the conductor and a second plurality of channels that are surrounded on all sides by the insulator.
