Abstract:
1. An electrical ribbon cable, comprising: at least one conductor set comprising at least two elongated conductors extending from end-to-end of the cable, wherein each of the conductors are encompassed along a length of the cable by respective first dielectrics; a first and second shielding films extending from end-to-end of the cable and disposed on opposite sides of the cable, wherein the conductors are fixably coupled to the first and second shielding films such that a consistent spacing is maintained between the first dielectrics of the conductors of each conductor set along the length of the cable; and a second dielectric filling the space between the closest points of proximity between the first dielectrics of the conductors of each conductor set, wherein a dielectric constant of the first dielectrics is higher than a dielectric constant of the second dielectric; and one or more insulating supports fixably coupled between the first and second shielding films along the length of the cable.
