Multiple conductor electrical cable with minimized crosstalk

A rotatable aligning die for the manufacture of multiple conductor electrical cable, comprising:

• a rotatable body including a circular periphery and including a plurality of apertures therethrough, each of said plurality of apertures adapted to receive one or more elongate electrical conductors;
• a fixing collar adapted to be adjustably attached to said apparatus for manufacturing a multiple conductor cable;
• and
• at least one bearing situated at said circular periphery of said rotatable body and supporting said rotatable body within said fixing collar;
• said body capable of rotating relative to said fixing collar, said apertures aligned in said body substantially transversely to a plane defined by said circular periphery of said body and oriented at an angle non-parallel to a rotation axis of said rotatable body;
• whereby the application of rotational force to at least one of said electrical conductors causes the rotation of the rotatable body.

A process for manufacturing a multiple conductor cable from a plurality of elongate conductors, comprising the steps of:

• providing a rotatable aligning die including a plurality of apertures;
• providing an applicator adapted to apply a binder to at least two of said plurality of conductors;
• advancing at least one of said plurality of elongate conductors through at least one of said apertures of said rotatable aligning die;
• rotating at least one of said plurality of elongate conductors about its elongated axis;
• bringing said plurality of elongate conductors into a defined mutual mechanical alignment;
• and
• retaining at least two of said plurality of elongate conductors in said mutual mechanical alignment at least partially by the application of said binder.
