Abstract

A data transmission cable having at least one unit of at least four conductors twisted into sets of conductors, which sets are quads or pairs, each conductor set being twisted at a pitch that is different from the pitch of any other conductor set, and each conductor being insulated by an insulating sheath. The unit being covered by at least one assembly structure, wherein the material used for the insulating sheath of any conductor in a given set of conductors has a relative dielectric constant that is different from that of the material used for the insulating sheath of any conductor in another set of conductors, such that the propagation time differences between the conductors of the set of conductors and the conductors of the other set of conductors is less than 2 ns/100 m.
