Claim:
1. A shielded electrical cable, comprising: a plurality of conductor sets spaced apart along a width of the cable and extending along a length of the cable, each conductor set comprising: first and second insulated conductors, each insulated conductor comprising a central conductor surrounded by an insulative material, the central conductor having a diameter D a drain grounding wire disposed between the first and second insulated conductors and having a wire diameter D first and second conductive shielding films disposed on opposite first and second sides of the conductor set and comprising primary and secondary cover portions and primary and secondary pinched portions arranged such that, in transverse cross section: the primary cover portions of the first and second shielding films in combination substantially surround each of the first and second insulated conductors; the secondary cover portions of the first and second shielding films in combination substantially surround the drain grounding wire; the primary pinched portions of the first and second shielding films in combination form primary pinched portions of the conductor set on each side of the conductor set; and the secondary pinched portions of the first and second shielding films in combination form secondary pinched portions of the conductor set on each side of the drain grounding wire; and an adhesive layer bonding the first shielding film to the second shielding film in the primary pinched portions of the conductor set, wherein: a maximum separation between the first and second shielding films in the primary cover portions is d a maximum separation between the first and second shielding films in the secondary cover portions is d a minimum separation between the first and second shielding films in the primary pinched portions is d a minimum separation between the first and second shielding films in the secondary pinched portions is d d
