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 cable signal transmission system according to the present disclosure includes a differential driver to generate a differential signal between a positive phase signal and a negative phase signal from a signal inputted to the differential driver, a splitter to split the positive phase signal into two or more split positive phase signals, and to split the negative phase signal into two or more split negative phase signals, and a multi-core cable having four or more cores and connected to the splitter, to separately transmit each of the signals after the splitting by the splitter. In the multi-core cable, each of the following inner cables: two or more inner cables via which the split positive phase signals are transmitted and two or more inner cables via which the split negative phase signals are transmitted is disposed contiguously.

A novel data cable achieves good transmission quality in automotive Internet applications. The data cable has a transmission core with only a single stranded conductor pair or four conductors stranded together to form a quad. The transmission core is surrounded by a jacket having a high air content. The jacket may be a foamed sheath, or alternatively at least one spacer element that defines an annular sheath space with air gaps around the transmission core.

A cable includes: a signal core module including a pair of inner conductors and an inner insulative layer enclosing the inner conductors, the inner conductors extending parallel to each other, the inner insulative layer forming a spacing region between said inner conductors; a grounding core arranged beside the signal core module; and a metal shielding layer enclosing the signal core module and the grounding core.

An Ethernet link is disclosed. The link includes a first Ethernet transceiver and a second Ethernet transceiver configured as a link partner to the first Ethernet transceiver. A shielded twisted quad (STQ) cable is interposed between the first Ethernet transceiver and the second Ethernet transceiver. The STQ cable includes four conductors, each conductor having a first end interfaced with a corresponding input/output (I/O) circuit of the first Ethernet transceiver in a single-ended configuration, and a second end interfaced with a corresponding input/output (I/O) circuit of the second Ethernet transceiver in a single-ended configuration.

A high performance differential cable comprises a bulk differential cable formed with a dielectric core having a central cavity and a plurality of wire guides on the outer perimeter. A pair of differential signal conductors (DSC) may be divided into two sets of wires. The smaller wires provide higher signal transmission speeds with lower losses. A paddle board at each end of the bulk differential cable comprises an interconnecting structure for combining signals from the two sets of wires into the two DSCs.
