    Abstract: A communications cable (22) having a plurality of twisted pairs (26) of conductors and various embodiments of a metal foil tape (34) between the twisted pairs (26) and a cable jacket (33) is disclosed. The metal foil tapes (34) include a cut (37) that creates discontinuous regions (38) in a metal layer (35) of the metal foil tapes (34). When the metal foil tapes (34) are wrapped around the cable core (23), the discontinuous regions (38) overlap to form at least one overlapping region. The cuts (37) are formed such that overlapping region is small and limits current flow through the metal foil tapes (34), thereby minimizing alien crosstalk in the communications cable (22).
