Abstract
The present arrangement provides a communication cable having a plurality of twisted pair communication elements, a jacket surrounding the twisted pairs and a shield element disposed between the pairs and the jacket. The shield element is constructed as a tape substrate with a plurality of foil shielding elements disposed thereon, the foil shielding elements being formed in the shape of triangles and arranged on the substrate with at least a first foil shield element having a base of its triangle shape disposed substantially parallel to a longitudinal edge of the tape substrate. Each subsequent triangle is disposed on the tape substrate at a distance apart from the first triangle foil shielding element with a base of its triangle shape disposed substantially parallel to an opposite longitudinal edge of the tape substrate.
