Abstract: An electrical cable includes a conductor assembly having 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. A cable shield is wrapped around the conductor assembly and engages the outer surface of the insulator structure. The cable shield has an inner edge and a flap covering the inner edge. The cable shield forms a void at the inner edge being located closer to the first conductor than the second conductor. The air void compromising the first conductor by reducing an effective dielectric constant surrounding the first conductor. The first conductor is shifted closer to the cable shield a shift distance compared to the second conductor to increase capacitance of the first conductor compared to the second conductor.
