Abstract
A cable separator spline and a cable containing the cable separator spline in its core. The spline extends longitudinally and has a plurality of spaced longitudinally extending open pockets in which cables, such as twisted pair cables, can be placed and form part of the core. A cross-section of the spline has a major axis and a minor axis with the major axis being longer than the minor axis. At least one and preferably at least two pockets are on the major axis, and at least one and preferably at least two pockets are on the minor axis. The core containing the twisted pair cables in the pockets can of course be shielded and jacketed, just jacketed or any other desired cable construction that would benefit from the use of my elongated separator spline.
