Claim:
1. A cable comprising: one or more conductor sets, each conductor set extending along a length of the cable and comprising one or more insulated conductors, each insulated conductor comprising a central conductor surrounded by a dielectric material; first and second conductive shielding films disposed on opposite first and second sides of the conductor sets, the first and second shielding films including cover portions and pinched portions arranged such that, in cross-section, the cover portions of the first and second shielding films in combination substantially surround each conductor set, and the pinched portions of the first and second shielding films in combination form pinched portions of the cable on each side of each conductor set, each of the first and second shielding films comprising a conductive layer facing the conductor sets and a non-conductive layer disposed on the conductive layer and facing away from the conductor sets, such that for at least one of the first and second conductive shielding films in at least one of the pinched portions of the cable, the conductive layer, but not the non-conductive layer, of the at least one of the first and second conductive shielding films comprises a break, wherein a separation between the non-conductive layers of the first and second shielding films at the break is equal to a separation between the non-conductive layers of the first and second shielding films in at least one side of the pinched portion beyond the break.
