An electrical cable includes a conductor assembly having a first conductor, a second conductor, and an insulator structure surrounding the first conductor and the second conductor. The first and second conductors carry differential signals. The insulator structure has an outer surface. A cable shield is wrapped around the conductor assembly and engages the outer surface of the insulator structure. The cable shield has an inner edge and a flap covering the inner edge. The cable shield forms a void at the inner edge being located closer to the first conductor than the second conductor. The air void compromising the first conductor by reducing an effective dielectric constant surrounding the first conductor. The first conductor is shifted closer to the cable shield a shift distance compared to the second conductor to increase capacitance of the first conductor compared to the second conductor.

An electrical cable includes a conductor assembly having a first conductor, a second conductor and an insulator surrounding the first conductor and the second conductor. The insulator has an outer surface having an RMS roughness of less than 1.0 micrometers. A cable shield provides electrical shielding for the first and second conductors and has a metallized conductive layer on the outer surface of the insulator. A method of manufacturing an electrical cable includes feeding a first conductor and a second conductor to a core extruder, extruding an insulator around the first and second conductors at the core extruder, heating an outer surface of the insulator to lower a roughness profile of the outer surface, and directly apply a conductive layer to the outer surface of the insulator.

A cable harness comprises a coaxial cable and a connector. The coaxial cable comprises an outer conductor formed of a plurality of wires and a second insulator covering the outer conductor. The outer conductor has a partially-exposed portion. The partially-exposed portion is formed with a connection portion. The second insulator has a partial cover. In a perpendicular plane perpendicular to the front-rear direction, the partial cover covers the partially-exposed portion while at least the connection portion is exposed. The connector comprises a second conductor. The second conductor has a pressure-holding portion. The pressure-holding portion presses the partial cover to hold the partial cover and is connected to the connection portion in a perpendicular direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction.

A coaxial cable has an inner conductor, an insulator provided on an outer circumference of the inner conductor, a film provided on an outer circumference of the insulator, an outer conductor provided on an outer circumference of the film, and a sheath provided on an outer circumference of the outer conductor. At least a part of the film is colored in a different color from both colors of the insulator and the outer conductor.
