A high performance communications cable with core support-separators
having various shaped profiles defining and maintaining a space between
transmission multi-media or transmission multi-media pairs. The core may
be of a conductive or insulative material. The central core region
includes a hollow opening or duct for blown fiber (ABF). The core
support-separator can be interior to the cable jacket or without the
benefit of a jacket. A thin layer of material can act as a type of skin
for future mechanical protection. The specially shaped core
support-separator has a central region that is either solid, partially
solid, foamed, with a solid skin over the foam or hollow itself. The
cable may include a plurality of shaped sections that extend outward from
the central region along the length of the central region. Each of the
defined clearance channels allow for disposal therein of conductors and
optical fibers.
