Manufacture of telecommunications cable core units.

摘要

Changing relative positions of conductor pairs (10) along a telecommunications cable core (56) by passing the pairs as they approach a core unit forming means (34), in an array through a flow of air which causes relative sideways movement of the pairs and continual change in their positions. The array may be arcuate, conveniently circular, and the airflow moves outwardly from within the array. Alternatively, the array is primarily planar with the airflow moving from one side of the array.
