A shielded electrical ribbon cable (2, 102c, 1402), comprising: a plurality of conductor sets (4, 104c) extending along a length of the cable and being spaced apart from each other along a width (w) of the cable, each conductor set (4, 104c) including one or more insulated conductors (6, 106); first and second shielding films (8, 108c) disposed on opposite sides of the cable, the first and second shielding films (8, 108c) including cover portions (7, 107c) and pinched portions (9, 109c) arranged such that, in transverse cross section, the cover portions (7, 107c) of the first and second shielding films (8, 108c) in combination substantially surround each conductor set (4, 104c), and the pinched portions (9, 109c) of the first and second shielding films (8, 108c) in combination form pinched regions (18, 118c) of the cable on each side of each conductor set (4, 104c); and a first adhesive layer (10, 110c) bonding the first shielding film to the second shielding film in the pinched regions (18, 118c) of the cable; wherein: the plurality of conductor sets (4, 104c) comprises a first conductor set that comprises neighboring first and second insulated conductors and has corresponding first cover portions of the first and second shielding films (8, 108c) and corresponding first pinched portions of the first and second shielding films forming a first pinched cable portion on one side of the first conductor set; a selected one of the insulated conductors (6, 106) has a wire diameter no greater than 0.5105 mm (24 American wire gauge, AWG); and wherein the cable comprises a transverse bending, wherein the transverse bending of the cable (102c, 1402) at a cable location of 180 degrees is over an inner radius of at most 5 mm causes an insertion loss of the selected insulated conductor proximate the cable location to vary by no more than 0.5dB from an initial insertion loss measured at the cable location in an unbent configuration. a plurality of conductor sets (4, 104c) extending along a length of the cable and being spaced apart from each other along a width (w) of the cable, each conductor set (4, 104c) including one or more insulated conductors (6, 106); first and second shielding films (8, 108c) disposed on opposite sides of the cable, the first and second shielding films (8, 108c) including cover portions (7, 107c) and pinched portions (9, 109c) arranged such that, in transverse cross section, the cover portions (7, 107c) of the first and second shielding films (8, 108c) in combination substantially surround each conductor set (4, 104c), and the pinched portions (9, 109c) of the first and second shielding films (8, 108c) in combination form pinched regions (18, 118c) of the cable on each side of each conductor set (4, 104c); and a first adhesive layer (10, 110c) bonding the first shielding film to the second shielding film in the pinched regions (18, 118c) of the cable; wherein: the plurality of conductor sets (4, 104c) comprises a first conductor set that comprises neighboring first and second insulated conductors and has corresponding first cover portions of the first and second shielding films (8, 108c) and corresponding first pinched portions of the first and second shielding films forming a first pinched cable portion on one side of the first conductor set; a selected one of the insulated conductors (6, 106) has a wire diameter no greater than 0.5105 mm (24 American wire gauge, AWG); and wherein the cable comprises a transverse bending, wherein the transverse bending of the cable (102c, 1402) at a cable location of 180 degrees is over an inner radius of at most 5 mm causes an insertion loss of the selected insulated conductor proximate the cable location to vary by no more than 0.5dB from an initial insertion loss measured at the cable location in an unbent configuration. the plurality of conductor sets (4, 104c) comprises a first conductor set that comprises neighboring first and second insulated conductors and has corresponding first cover portions of the first and second shielding films (8, 108c) and corresponding first pinched portions of the first and second shielding films forming a first pinched cable portion on one side of the first conductor set; a selected one of the insulated conductors (6, 106) has a wire diameter no greater than 0.5105 mm (24 American wire gauge, AWG); and wherein the cable comprises a transverse bending, wherein the transverse bending of the cable (102c, 1402) at a cable location of 180 degrees is over an inner radius of at most 5 mm causes an insertion loss of the selected insulated conductor proximate the cable location to vary by no more than 0.5dB from an initial insertion loss measured at the cable location in an unbent configuration.
