| 1. A separator for a communication cable, which includes a plurality of barriers formed in a radial direction so that at least
two pair units, in each of which at least two insulation-coated wires are spirally twisted, are received in spaces formed
by the barriers one by one so as to separate the pair units from each other,
wherein at least one of the barriers has a relatively greater thickness than the other barriers, and
wherein the separator includes a pair stopper protruded from a surface of the other barriers so that the pair units are not
deviated from the separator,
wherein, among said other barriers, barriers adjacent to the barrier with a relatively greater thickness are elastically biased
in a direction opposite to the barrier with a relatively greater thickness.
