  • Patent number: 7145080
    Abstract: A cable includes an outer sleeve for offsetting an inner jacket from a central axis of the outer sleeve in order to reduce crosstalk between adjacent cables. In one embodiment, an inner surface of the outer sleeve includes a plurality of fingers of different length extending inwardly to support the inner jacket offset from the central axis of the outer sleeve. The inner jacket may include two or more twisted pairs of electrical conductors and is supported in the offset position in order to randomize the location of the twisted pairs between cables when the cables are bundled together. In one embodiment, the cable also includes an inner divider core for further reducing crosstalk between adjacent twisted pairs within the cable.
