Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for a novel dual axial cable configuration. More specifically, with a dual axial cable configuration in accordance with the present invention, a shape of the signal conductors and drain conductors is configured to ensure the electric field density is oriented towards the drain conductor. More specifically, in certain embodiments, the dual axial cable configuration comprises signal conductors and a drain conductor in which either or all the cross sectional shapes of the signal conductors and the drain conductor are rectangular. Such a dual axial cable configuration results in thinner insulation lowering the cable height and also reduces space by improving the pitch of the conductors when the conductors are stored in bulk. Additionally, in certain embodiments, the signal conductors are positioned horizontally and vertically equidistant. The signal conductors are also positioned equidistant from a horizontally centrally positioned and vertically offset drain conductor.
