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 flat cable includes multiple flat conductors arranged in parallel, a lower insulating layer provided on lower surfaces of the multiple conductors, a lower shield layer provided on a lower surface of the lower insulating layer, a lower protective layer provided on a lower surface of the lower shield layer, a lower contact portion that is exposed from the lower protective layer and provided to contact a second contact member of the connector, and that is electrically coupled to the lower shield layer, a terminal in which the multiple conductors are exposed at an end, and a reinforcing plate provided on the lower surface of the lower insulating layer and the lower surfaces of the multiple conductors at the terminal. The multiple conductors extend along the lower insulating layer and the reinforcing plate, and the lower contact portion and the terminal overlap in a side view.

Provided are a flexible flat cable and a method of producing the same. The flexible flat cable includes a plate-shaped first insulation portion comprising an insulating material; a first ground, a second ground, and a third ground disposed at predetermined intervals on the first insulation portion; at least one first signal transmission line positioned between the first ground and the second ground and disposed on the first insulation portion; at least one second signal transmission line positioned between the second ground and the third ground and disposed on the first insulation portion; a first second insulation portion disposed on at least a portion of the first ground and at least a portion of the at least one first signal transmission line and the second ground; a second second insulation portion disposed on at least a portion of the second ground and at least a portion of the at least one second signal transmission line, and the third ground; a conductive adhesive layer configured to enclose the first insulation portion, the first second insulation portion, and the second second insulation portion; and a shielding portion comprising a shielding material adhered to an outside of the conductive adhesive layer. Therefore, by improving shielding efficiency of a plurality of signal transmission lines, while having good electromagnetic interference and crosstalk characteristics, a plurality of signals can be simultaneously transmitted.

Flexible cables may include multiple power, ground, and signal traces, and include EM interference suppression devices within the cable itself. Signal traces may be shielded by ground traces. The body of a cable may be divided into lateral portions through which different types of traces extend. One lateral side of a cable body may include a stack of power traces, while another lateral side of the cable body may include ground and signal traces. EBG patterns may be incorporated into ground traces. Capacitors may be positioned within the cable along its length, mounted between power and ground traces, for decoupling.

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.

Each first group of supports includes at least one taller first support, and each second group of supports includes at least one shorter second support. The insulative tape is helically wrapped around the plurality of conductors along the length of the cable such that each first group of supports is disposed between and maintains a minimum separation between two adjacent conductors, and each second group of supports is disposed around one or more conductors to maintain spacing between the conductors and an outer surface of the ribbon cable.

The cable end connector includes a connector body and the high-speed transmission cable that includes at least one cable assembly, at least one transmission line, and an insulating material. The at least one cable assembly includes multiple ground wires and multiple differential pairs that are arranged at fixed intervals and in parallel with each other, an insulating layer, and at least one shielding layer. Each of the differential pairs includes two signal wires that are adjacently arranged, and is located between two adjacent ones of the ground wires. The insulating layer covers the ground wires and the differential pairs. The at least one shielding layer is located at an outer side of the insulating layer. The insulating material covers the at least one cable assembly and the at least one transmission line.
