Telecommunication cable with tape

A method of manufacturing a telecommunication cable (100), the method comprising:

• twisting two conductors to form a plurality of twisted pairs (102), further comprising:
• twisting a first specific conductor pair at a first lay length;
• twisting a second specific conductor pair at a second lay length;
• stranding the plurality of twisted pairs (102) to form a bunched core (120) wherein the at least two conductor pairs are stranded helically around a cable axis to form the bunched core (120);
• wrapping the at least two tapes (104, 106) around the bunched plurality of twisted pairs (102) such that at least an edge of the at least two tapes (104, 106) overlap (116, 118) over the plurality of twisted pairs (102), wherein a ratio of a first lay length to a second lay length of the plurality of twisted pairs (102) is between 0.8 to 1.2;
• and
• sheathing a sheath (114) layer to encapsulate the bunched core (120) and the at least two tapes (104, 106).
