Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a cable for high speed data communications, the method comprising: providing, parallel with and along a longitudinal axis, a first inner conductor enclosed by a first dielectric layer and a second inner conductor enclosed by a second dielectric layer; folding a conductive shield material, the conductive shield material comprising at least two conductive layers separated by an inner-shield dielectric layer; and wrapping the folded conductive shield material in a rotational direction along and about the longitudinal axis around the inner conductors and the dielectric layers enclosing the inner conductors, including overlapping wraps of the shield material along and about the longitudinal axis, including creating, with the conductive layers of the folded conductive shield material, a continuous current return path for the inner conductors.
