Abstract
A network cable including a plurality of conductors and an associated crossweb having one or more fins of substantially elliptical cross-sectional shape. The crossweb runs longitudinally along at least a portion of a length of the conductors, and includes a central region approximately in a center of the cable and a plurality of fins extending outwardly from the central region, with a given one of the fins separating at least a first one of the conductors from at least a second one of the conductors. At least the given one of the fins has a variable thickness along a cross-sectional length thereof from the central region to an opposing end of the fin with a maximum of the variable thickness being in a portion of the fin between the central region and the opposing end of the fin.
