A shielded electrical cable includes a conductor set and two generally parallel shielding films disposed around the conductor set. The conductor set includes one or more substantially parallel longitudinal insulated conductors. The shielding films include a parallel portion wherein the shielding films are substantially parallel. The parallel portion is configured to electrically isolate the conductor set.

Cable device (9) includes a flexible cable (2) including a plurality of cable-strips (35) formed in accordance with one or more slits (21), and one or more bundling members (5) for bundling the plurality of cable-strips (35) into a stacked state. The plurality of cable-strips (35) includes two or more signal transmission strips (35s) each of which includes at least one high-frequency signal transmission line. The cable device (9) further includes a spacer (80) interposed between the signal transmission strips (35s) in a stacking direction of the cable-strips (35) in at least one or more bundling locations by the one or more bundling members (5).

Elongated conductors are provided. Aspects of the elongated conductors include: an elongated structure having a proximal region and a distal region, where the elongated conductor includes two or more insulated conducting members that are in fixed relative position along at least a portion of the elongated structure and extend from the proximal region to the distal region. A pattern of insulation openings among the insulated conducting members is present at one or both of the proximal and distal regions. Aspects of the invention further include methods of making the elongated conductors, as well as devices that include the elongated conductors.

A cable includes one or more conductor sets. Each conductor set includes one or more central conductors surrounded by a dielectric material. Shielding films are disposed on opposite sides of the conductor sets. In cross-section, cover portions of the shielding films in combination substantially surround each conductor set, and pinched portions of the shielding films in combination form pinched portions of the cable on each side of each conductor set. For at least one shielding film in a pinched portion, the conductive layer, but not the non-conductive layer, includes a break.

A flat curled cord 1 is formed by winding an insulated wire 2 into a helical shape, the insulated wire 2 including a conductor 12 and an insulation coating 13 covering the outer periphery of the conductor 12. The insulated wire 2 is a flat wire including the conductor 12 and the insulation coating 13 along an axial direction each having a flat cross-sectional shape. Flat surfaces, which are outer side surfaces of the flat wire 2 along a width direction of the flat shape, are facing outward and inward of the helical shape.

A cable, in particular a data cable, which extends in a longitudinal direction, includes a central element which is surrounded, in particular encased, by a ribbon lead element. The ribbon lead element has two film layers as well as a plurality of leads, in particular conductor elements, which are disposed between the film layers. A method for manufacturing a cable, a ribbon lead element, a method for manufacturing a ribbon lead element and a motor vehicle using the cable are also provided.
