A cable includes a pre-selected number of binder units. Each binder unit
includes an even number of paired couples of conductors, evenly divided
into quads, and an additional twisted pair of conductors, coupled with and
encircled around a length of a filler material, extended in parallel so
the quads of conductor pairs surround the additional pair of conductors
and the filler material. A binder unit wrap encloses each binder unit and
a foil free edge tape is applied with the foil facing inwardly and a drain
wire pulled between the foil and the unit wrap. An overall core wrap
encloses each binder unit, and a shield is applied over the top of the
overall core wrap such that the shield surface faces inwardly for improved
termination methods. An overall drain wire is placed between the overall
core wrap and overall shield. The entire cable may be enclosed by a jacket
or sheath. A method for forming the cable is also disclosed.
