The present invention discloses a flat cable, which comprises signal unit sets and the insulating layer which wraps and fixes the signal unit set. The signal unit set is formed by at least two signals units arranged substantially on the same plane at an interval or side by side. The left and right sides of the signal unit set are directly wrapped by insulating layers. The insulating layer is formed by splicing and bonding at least one insulating film, and the splicing points at two ends of the insulating film are located on the upper side or the lower side of the signal unit set. In the flat cable of the present invention, the length of the overlapping portion can be set as required, effectively preventing the phenomenon such as insulating film tear and short circuit caused by insulating film tear.

A round cable includes an internal cable formed by rolling a flat cable and an outer insulation jacket covering the outer side of the internal cable. The internal cable has several conductors, the internal cable includes several sector portions and a first connecting portion connecting every two adjacent sector portions, and the sector portions are stacked together one by one in a circumferential direction. The outer diameter of a round cable can be reduced, wire arrangement can be omitted before soldering, and production efficiency can be improved.

Cost reduction in a multicore cable is realized by reduction in the frequency of damaging a coaxial cable upon removal of a covering layer. A multicore cable 10 includes multiple coaxial cables 11 arranged in parallel, and ground members 15, 16 conductively connected with the coaxial cables 11. Each coaxial cable includes an internal conductor 11a, an internal insulating layer 11b covering an outer peripheral surface of the internal conductor 11a, an external conductor 11c covering an outer peripheral surface of the internal insulating layer 11b, a covering layer 11d covering an outer peripheral surface of the external conductor 11c, a removed portion 11e formed in such a manner that part of the covering layer 11d in a circumferential direction is removed such that the external conductor 11c is exposed, and a conductive member 21 filling the removed portion 11e. The ground member 15 is conductively connected with the conductive member 21 filling the removed portion 11e.

A cable includes first and second electrically conducting wires, each of the two wires surrounded by a respective isolating dielectric material for a length of the respective wire. A signal propagation skew between the first and second wires may be detected, and a dielectric constant associated with a wire may be changed to mitigate the detected signal propagation skew. The dielectric constant may be changed by removing or adding dielectric material from or to the wire.
