A shielded electrical cable includes conductor sets extending along a length of the cable and spaced apart from each other along a width of the cable. First and second shielding films are disposed on opposite sides of the cable and include cover portions and pinched portions arranged such that, in transverse cross section, the cover portions of the films in combination substantially surround each conductor set. An adhesive layer bonds the shielding films together in the pinched portions of the cable. A transverse bending of the cable at a cable location of no more than 180 degrees over an inner radius of at most 2 mm causes a cable impedance of the selected insulated conductor proximate the cable location to vary by no more than 2 percent from an initial cable impedance measured at the cable location in an unbent configuration.

A shielded cable includes two signal wires, each of which having a signal conductor covered with an insulator, and a shield conductor having a metal clad resin tape spirally wrapped around the two signal wires in a lump. The insulator is configured so that a section thereof is to be deformable by an external force. A residual diameter ratio of the signal wire is 80% or greater and 95% or less when load of 1 kg is applied to the signal wire for 30 minutes.

An electrical cable arrangement comprises a first electrical cable and a second electrical cable. The first electrical cable comprises first and second conductor sets and a first carrier film. The cable comprises a first pinched portion between the first and second conductor sets. The second electrical cable comprises a third conductor set and a second carrier film. The first and second carrier films include cover portions at least partially covering each of the first and second conductor sets and the third conductor set, respectively, and parallel portions extending from both sides of each of the first and second conductor sets and the third conductor set, respectively. The first electrical cable and the second electrical cable extend in substantially the same direction and are arranged in a nested configuration such that the insulated conductors of the third conductor set are disposed within the first pinched portion of the first electrical cable.

A shielded electrical ribbon cable includes adjacent first and second longitudinal conductor sets where each conductor set includes two or more insulated conductors. The first conductor set also includes a ground conductor that generally lies in the plane of the insulated conductors of the first conductor set. At least 90% of the periphery of each conductor set is encompassed by a shielding film. First and second non-conductive polymeric films are disposed on opposite sides of the cable and form cover portions substantially surrounding each conductor set, and pinched portions on each side of each conductor set. When the cable is laid flat, the distance between the center of the ground conductor of the first conductor set and the center of the nearest insulated conductor of the second conductor set is σ1, the center-to-center spacing of the insulated conductors of the second conductor set is σ2, and σ1/σ2 is greater than 0.7.

The present disclosure provides a cable connector assembly that includes a differential pair cable having a pair of conductors secured to contact pads formed on a printed circuit board. A housing and cover are configured to be secured together and include a cavity for receiving the printed circuit board and the cable. A slug is formed around a portion of the cable and is in intimate contact with a shield layer of the cable. Upon assembly of the cover to the housing, the slug is disposed in the pocket with a projection formed on the plug that engages a shoulder in the pocket to maintain a rigid connection between the lug connector housing and the cable and limit the stress that can be transferred to the connection between the conductors of the cable and the printed circuit board.

Disclosed is a shielded communication cable containing a parallel electric cable containing a pair of insulated wires arranged parallel to each other without being twisted. The shielded communication cable exhibits excellent noise shieldability and hardly generates signal propagation time difference. The shielded communication cable contains a parallel electric cable containing a pair of insulated wires arranged parallel to each other. Each of the insulated wires contains a conductor and an insulation coating that covers the conductor. A braided shield containing elemental wires braided together and a film-shaped shield containing a metal film are arranged at an outer circumference of the parallel electric cable.

Electrical cables and optical waveguides are disclosed as including an electrically insulative foam. The electrically insulative foam can coat at least one electrical conductor of the electrical cable. The electrically insulative foam can coat the optical fiber of the waveguide. The electrically insulative foam can also define a waveguide.

A two-wire line includes a first conductor. A first dielectric thread is wrapped around the first conductor. The two-wire line includes a second conductor. A second dielectric thread is wrapped around the second conductor. The first conductor and the second conductor are at a distance from one another. The distance is smaller than the sum of the thickness of the first thread and the thickness of the second thread.
