Data/telecommunication cables that include one or more layers of an integral, bonded electromagnetic shield are described. The shield may be configured to form an electrical ground path.

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 1, the center-to-center spacing of the insulated conductors of the second conductor set is 2, and 1/2 is greater than 0.7.

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.

A cable includes a plurality of differential conductors and a plurality of drain conductors. The differential conductors and the drain conductors are arranged in the form of groups such that each group comprises a pair of differential conductors and a pair of drain conductors and defines a communication pathway for communicating signals. The cable includes a body formed around the plurality of differential conductors and the plurality of drain conductors.

A bending-resistant communication cable includes a parallel two-core shielded wire that includes a drain wire in a gap between two-core communication wires and is formed by collectively covering the two-core communication wires and the drain wire by an external conductor. Each of the drain wires in a plurality of parallel two-core shielded wire is arranged to face inside of the bending-resistant communication cable. Further, a twist pitch of the plurality of two-core shielded wires is 20 mm or more and less than 100 mm.

A twinaxial parallel cable includes two conductors arranged parallel to each other, an insulating layer formed around the two conductors by extrusion coating, a shield tape wound around the insulating layer while extending longitudinally, a drain wire arranged inside the shield tape, and an outer coating formed to cover the shield tape. A cross section of the insulating layer perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the twinaxial parallel cable is formed into an oval shape having a long axis that is 1.7 to 2.2 times a length of a short axis. The insulating layer has a groove in a portion including an intersection of an outline of the insulating layer and a perpendicular bisector of the long axis. The groove is formed to be more than 0.5 times to 0.9 times an outer diameter or a thickness of the drain wire. The drain wire is retained in the groove so that a part of the drain wire protrudes toward the shield tape beyond the insulating layer.

A cable includes a pair of wires each having a conductor and a wire insulation layer wrapped around the conductor, an inner insulation layer wrapped around the wire insulation layer of each of the wires and fixing the wires, a metal shielding layer wrapped around an outer surface of the inner insulation layer, and an outer insulation layer wrapped around an outer surface of the metal shielding layer. The metal shielding layer has an insulating substrate and a metal conductive layer coated on the insulating substrate. The metal conductive layer of the metal shielding layer faces the outer insulation layer.
