Abstract

A low loss data cable includes a plurality of conductor pairs combined to form a core, each conductor pair including coupled braided conductors where each conductor encircles its coupled conductor with each conductor encircling being defined as a pair lay length. A first insulating material layer separately insulates each of the conductors. A second insulating material layer, surrounds a core that includes the plurality of conductor pairs in a twist formation where each of the plurality of conductor pairs encircles a center gap separating all of the conductor pairs. When each conductor pair encircling is defined as a core lay length, the pair lay length of each of the conductor pairs is no greater than about one third of the core lay length.
