Abstract
A telecommunications cable is disclosed in which a plurality of inwardly extending projections from the cable jacket, form a first and second plurality of substantially parallel longitudinal channels within the cable jacket. The first and second plurality of longitudinal channels are spaced apart from one another with respect to a reference line that transverses the cable, wherein the plurality of inwardly extending projections provide the spaced apart distance between the first plurality and the second plurality of longitudinally extending channels and between corresponding transmission media disposed within the first and second plurality of longitudinally extending channels. With this arrangement, cross talk between the transmission media within the cable is reduced and alien crosstalk between adjacently disposed or stacked cables is also reduced.
