This invention relates to a method of reducing or eliminating "skew" between signals passing through conductors of a data cable, and to cables and data installations in which the method of the present invention is used to reduce skew to an acceptable level. The invention provides a method comprising the steps of: transferring a signal of a first conductor from the first conductor to a second conductor at a position intermediate the ends of the data cable; and transferring a signal of the second conductor from the second conductor to the first conductor at a position intermediate the ends of the data cable. The transferring of the signals is such that, in travelling the length of the cable, any one of the signals travels partly on the first conductor and partly on the second conductor. In this way, the skew between the signals of the conductors is substantially reduced or eliminated. |
