Abstract

A telecommunications cable includes multiple binder units. Each binder unit includes a predetermined number of twisted pairs enclosed by a binder unit wrap. A foil free edge tape is applied over the top of the unit wrap with the foil facing inwardly. A drain wire is pulled between the foil and the unit wrap. A preselected number of binder units are enclosed by an overall core wrap, and a shield is applied over the top of the overall core wrap such that the shield surface faces inwardly for improved termination methods. An overall drain wire is placed between the overall core and overall shield. The entire cable may be enclosed by a jacket or sheath.
