Disclosed is an armored cable assembly including a core having a notched assembly tape about a plurality of conductors. A metal sheath surrounds the core.

A coaxial cable is composed of a conductor, an insulator around the conductor, a shield layer around the insulator, and a sheath around the shield layer. The shield layer includes a lateral winding shielding portion with metal wires helically wrapped around the insulator, and a batch plating portion covering the lateral winding shielding portion. The shield layer includes a joining portion where adjacent metal wires are joined with each other with the batch plating portion at a gap between the adjacent metal wires, and inner peripheral portions where the metal wires are not being covered with the batch plating portion and plating layers are exposed. The joining portion is provided between adjacent inner peripheral portions. When an elemental analysis is performed in any analysis region having an area of 0.015 mm.sup.2 or more and 0.300 mm.sup.2 or less in an insulator-side surface of the shield layer which is stripped from the insulator, an area of a chlorine present region where chlorine is present in the analysis region is 5% or less of an area of the analysis region.

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 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.

A combination cable for electrical energy and data transmission has one or more high-current lines and a first data line pair, which has two intertwined data lines that are at least partly surrounded by an at least partly electrically conductive sheath. The combination cable furthermore has a second data line pair that has two data lines that are spaced from one another. The data lines that are spaced from one another of the second data line pair are each arranged on an outer surface of the at least partly electrically conductive sheath of the first data line pair.

The cable attaches a first component and a second component using a quick disconnect connector pair. The cable includes a twisted pair of wires with a separate shield. A portion of the shielding near the connector is removed to expose the wires and assemble the wires to the connector. To reduce the EMI leakage, the inner shell encloses the exposed portions of the wires. In order to maintain the ground path for the shielding of the shielded twisted wire pairs, the shielding for the twisted wire pairs is connected to the shell. The outer shells facilitate the quick disconnect feature. The outer shell includes one or more slots. The slot allows a portion of the outer shell to become a cantilever beam. The beam deflects during disengagement and engagement with the outer shell.
