A cabling media includes a plurality of twisted wire pairs housed inside a
jacket. Each of the twisted wire pairs has a respective twist length,
defined as a distance wherein the wires of the twisted wire pair twist
about each other one complete revolution. At least one of the respective
twist lengths purposefully varies along a length of the cabling media. In
one embodiment, the cabling media includes four twisted wire pairs, with
each twisted wire pair having its twist length purposefully varying along
the length of the cabling media. Further, the twisted wire pairs may have
a core strand length, defined as a distance wherein the twisted wire pairs
twist about each other one complete revolution. In a further embodiment,
the core strand length is purposefully varied along the length of the
cabling media. The cabling media can be designed to meet the requirements
of CAT 5, CAT 5e or CAT 6 cabling, and demonstrates low alien and internal
crosstalk characteristics even at data bit rates of 10 Gbit/sec.
