Abstract:
1. A cable system comprising: a cable having a conductor, a power layer and dielectric material, the conductor and power layer being embedded in and surrounded by the dielectric material, the dielectric material being located at least partially between the conductor and the power layer, the conductor being operative to carry a signal, the power layer being operative as ground, the power layer being formed of a conductive material and having a first region and an adjacent second region, the first region including a greater amount of the conductive material than the second region such that the power layer is less resistant to bending along the second region than along the first region; the cable has a longitudinal axis; and the second region defines an axial bending region about which the power layer is less resistant to bending, the axial-bending region being angularly displaced with respect to the longitudinal axis of the cable; wherein the second region includes a recess defining an area of reduced thickness of the power layer.
