Claim Text:
1. A method for making a cable jacket having an annular shape at a cross-section taken orthogonal to a central axis of the cable jacket, the method comprising: providing a shielding tape comprising a substrate and a plurality of conductive shield segments disposed on the substrate; twisting a pair of wires to form a twisted pair; extruding an inner jacket layer onto an inner surface of the substrate and over the twisted pair; routing a separator through an interior of the inner jacket layer; extruding an outer jacket layer onto an outer surface of the substrate; and heating the substrate through the extruding of the inner and outer jacket layers such that the substrate, the inner jacket layer and the outer jacket layer bond together into a single layer that defines a circumference; wherein each conductive shield segment:
