Abstract

A communication cable may include a plurality of twisted pairs and a plurality of discrete components of insulation material positioned in the interstices between the plurality of twisted pairs. Each of the discrete components may have a largest dimension that is no greater than approximately 250 microns. The discrete components may provide separation between two or more of the twisted pairs. A jacket may be formed around the plurality of twisted pairs and the plurality of discrete components.
