Abstract
Abstract An electronic data transmission cable with twisted pairs (16) and (18) twisted into group (32). To reduce electro magnetic interference between adjacent insulated conductors (12) twisted pair such as (16) and (18) are combined into group (32). Other groups (34) and (36) may be pulled in parallel or may be twisted together prior to forming cable (30).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 20
Claim 1
Independent Claim
105 words
A cable suitable for balanced mode transmission with relatively low crosstalk, said cable comprising: a first set of conductors twisted to form a first pair; a second set of conductors twisted to form a second pair, wherein said second pair is twisted with said first pair to form a first dual twisted pair group; a third set of conductors twisted to form a third pair; and a fourth set of conductors twisted to form a fourth pair, wherein said fourth pair is twisted with said third pair forming a second dual twisted pair group, wherein said first group and said second group are twisted together.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
105 words
A cable suitable for balanced mode transmission with relatively low crosstalk, said cable comprising: a first set of conductors twisted to form a first pair; a second set of conductors twisted to form a second pair, wherein said second pair is twisted with said first pair to form a first dual twisted pair group; a third set of conductors twisted to form a third pair; and a fourth set of conductors twisted to form a fourth pair, wherein said fourth pair is twisted with said third pair forming a second dual twisted pair group, wherein said first group and said second group are twisted together.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
