an improved cable having low crosstalk characteristics is comprised of a pair of multi - conductor cable members laminated together with the pairs of wires of and between the respective cable members being so spaced as to effectively form a balanced capacitive bridge configuration . the conductors of the cable members can be either round or flat in section and the cable members are preferably secured together across their entire width by means which allows the cables to be readily separated at the termination . this capability for separation of the cable members is also effective for inserting a tap means intermediate the ends of the cable .
