Reduced alien crosstalk electrical cable with filler element

An electrical cable, comprising:

• a cable jacket defining a central longitudinal axis and a substantially non-circular outer perimeter;
• a plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors oriented longitudinally within said cable jacket, each of said insulated conductors defining a width, said plurality of twisted pairs of insulated conductors forming a core;
• and
• a filler element disposed in said cable jacket and located adjacent to at least one of said twisted pairs of insulated conductors and adjacent to a portion of said cable jacket with no twisted pair of insulated conductors being disposed between said portion of said cable jacket and said filler element, said filler element having a central axis laterally offset from said central longitudinal axis of said cable jacket, said filler element being substantially circular in section transverse to said central axis and defining a diameter that is larger than said width of each of said insulated conductors, said filler element being twisted around said core, and said filler element being devoid of any twisted pair of insulated conductors.
