Abstract: An electrical cable includes a conductor assembly. The conductor assembly has 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. The electrical cable includes a cable shield wrapped around the conductor assembly to form a longitudinal seam that extends a length of the electrical cable. The cable shield engages the outer surface of the insulator structure. The cable shield has a single shield layer as an overall shield covering for the conductor assembly. The cable shield does not include a sealing tape wrapped therearound.

Abstract: Communication cable including insulated conductors and a composite tape having an insulative layer and a conductive layer. The composite tape includes first and second lateral sections that are folded over each other to form a shielding tape. The shielding tape includes opposite inner and outer sides that are formed from the first and second lateral sections, respectively, and a folded edge that joins the inner and outer sides. The conductive layer defines the inner side, the outer side, and the folded edge. The shielding tape is wrapped helically about the insulated conductors a plurality of times along a length of the communication cable to form a plurality of wraps. The inner side of a subsequent wrap of the shielding tape overlaps a portion of the outer side of a prior wrap of the shielding tape.

Abstract: A cable assembly includes elongated conductors, primary dielectric layers, a secondary dielectric layer, a conductive shield layer and a drain wire. The conductors communicate a signal. The primary dielectric layer is circumferentially disposed around each of the conductors. The secondary dielectric layer surrounds the primary dielectric layers. The conductive shield layer is disposed around the secondary dielectric layer. The drain wire is provided along an outer surface of the conductive shield layer and is electrically coupled with the conductive shield layer. The conductive shield layer communicates electromagnetic interference to an electric ground reference via the drain wire.
