1. A shielded electrical ribbon cable, comprising: adjacent first and second conductor sets extending lengthwise along the cable, each conductor set including two or more insulated conductors, at least 90% of a periphery of each conductor set being encompassed by a shielding film; and first and second non-conductive polymeric films disposed on opposite sides of the cable, the first and second polymeric films including cover portions and pinched portions arranged such that, in transverse cross section, the cover portions of the polymeric first and second films in combination substantially surround each conductor set, and the pinched portions of the first and second polymeric films in combination form pinched portions of the cable on each side of each conductor set; wherein, when the cable is laid flat, a first insulated conductor of the first conductor set is nearest the second conductor set, and a second insulated conductor of the second conductor set is nearest the first conductor set, and the first and second insulated conductors have a center-to-center spacing S; and wherein the first insulated conductor has an outer dimension D wherein S/Dmin is in a range from 1.7 to 2, where Dmin is the lesser of D
