Shielded cables (200) are described. More specifically, shielded cables (200) that include a plurality of separate individual conductor sets (210) are described. The individual conductor sets (210) include two or more insulated conductors, first and second conductive shielding films, and an insulating jacket surrounding the plurality of conductor sets. A variety of potential cable shapes and configurations are also described.

A cable includes a cable core including one or more electric wires, a shield layer covering around the cable core, and a sheath covering around the shield layer. The shield layer is composed of a braided shield including a plurality of first metal wires composed of aluminum or aluminum alloy and a plurality of second metal wires composed of copper or copper alloy. The plurality of first metal wires and the plurality of second metal wires are cross-braided.

A cable includes a core wire, a shielding layer located on a periphery of the core wire, and an insulating skin at least partially located on a periphery of the shielding layer. The shielding layer includes at least a first metal layer and a second metal layer. The first metal layer and the second metal layer have different metal materials. The first metal layer and the second metal layer are integrally composited. With this arrangement, the shielding effect of the cable is improved.
