An electrical cable includes a cable jacket defining a central
longitudinal axis and a plurality of twisted pairs of insulated
conductors oriented longitudinally within the cable jacket. Each of the
twisted pairs of insulated conductors has a width. A filler element is
disposed in the cable jacket and is located adjacent to at least one of
the twisted pairs of insulated conductors. The filler element defines a
width that is substantially larger than the width of each the twisted
pairs of insulated conductors. The filler element has a central axis
laterally offset from the central longitudinal axis of the cable jacket.
The filler element reduces alien crosstalk from an adjacent cable. A
separator is disposed in said cable jacket between the twisted pairs of
insulated conductors to reduce crosstalk between the twisted pairs of
insulated conductors.
