Abstract
A separator for a communication cable that comprises a body that includes at least first and second segments adapted to define a plurality of quadrants in the communication cable. The segments are substantially perpendicular to each other and define a junction point of the segments. Each of the segments includes a main portion and a terminal end remote from the junction point of the segments. Each of the terminal ends has a shape such that each of the terminal ends is wider than the main portions of the segments. At least one air pocket is defined between the terminal ends of the segments. The air pocket includes a gap sized such that the air pocket is substantially enclosed.
