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 1, the center-to-center spacing of the insulated conductors of the second conductor set is 2, and 1/2 is greater than 0.7.

A computing cable that connects computing elements, including: a trace including a first trace segment and a second trace segment, the trace having a first impedance; and an attenuator connecting the first trace segment to the second trace segment, the attenuator including: a resistor having a resistance, and a conductor having a second impedance, wherein the combination of the resistance and the second impedance is based on the first impedance.

A cable includes at least two conductive wire cores spaced apart from each other and extending in a longitudinal direction of the cable, and an interior insulation structure circumferentially wrapped around and contacting each of the at least two conductive wire cores to fix the at least two conductive wire cores. The interior insulation structure is a foamed insulation structure in which the at least two conductive wire cores are fixedly maintained. The cable further includes an internal insulation layer wrapped over and contacting the interior insulation structure on an outer side of the interior insulation structure, a first conductive shielding layer wrapped over the internal insulation layer on an outer side of the internal insulation layer, and an external insulation layer wrapped over an outside of the first conductive shielding layer.
