Claim:
1. A shielded electrical cable, comprising: a plurality of differential pairs extending along a length of the cable and being arranged generally in a plane along a width of the cable, each differential pair having two jointly insulated conductors, each of the conductors having a size no greater than 24 AWG, each differential pair being substantially surrounded by a shield; first and second non-conductive polymeric layers disposed on opposite sides of the cable, neither layer comprising a longitudinal fold that orients the layer to cover the plurality of differential pairs on both sides of the cable, wherein the first and second non-conductive polymeric layers include cover portions and pinched portions arranged such that, in transverse cross section, the cover portions of the first and second layers, in combination, substantially surround the plurality of differential pairs, and the pinched portions of the first and second layers, in combination, form pinched portions of the cable on each side of the plurality of differential pairs; and a drain wire, wherein, a separation between the drain wire and a closest conductor of a closest differential pair is greater than 0.5 times a center to center spacing between the two conductors of the differential pair.
