A shielded electrical cable (2, 102a, 202c, 202d, 302. 402, 502, 802, 902, 1002, 1102, 1202, 1302, 1402, 1602, 1702, 1802), comprising: a plurality of conductor sets extending along a length (L) of the cable and being spaced apart from each other along a width (w) of the cable, each conductor set including one or more insulated conductors ; first and second shielding films including concentric portions , pinched portions , and transition portions arranged such that, in transverse cross section, the concentric portions are substantially concentric with one or more end insulated conductors of each conductor set, the pinched portions of the first and second shielding films in combination form pinched regions of the cable on two sides of each conductor set, and the transition portions provide gradual transitions between the concentric portions and the pinched portions; and a first EMI absorbing layer disposed on the plurality of conductor sets; wherein each shielding film comprises a conductive layer ; a first one of the transition portions is proximate a first one of the one or more end insulated conductors and has a cross-sectional area A 1 defined as an area between the conductive layers of the first and second shielding films, the concentric portions, and a first one of the pinched portions proximate the first end insulated conductor, wherein A 1 is less than a cross-sectional area (1706 a ) of a central conductor of the first end insulated conductor; and each shielding film in transverse cross section comprises a radius of curvature that changes across the width of the cable, the radius of curvature for each of the shielding films being at least 100 micrometers across the width of the cable. a plurality of conductor sets extending along a length (L) of the cable and being spaced apart from each other along a width (w) of the cable, each conductor set including one or more insulated conductors ; first and second shielding films including concentric portions , pinched portions , and transition portions arranged such that, in transverse cross section, the concentric portions are substantially concentric with one or more end insulated conductors of each conductor set, the pinched portions of the first and second shielding films in combination form pinched regions of the cable on two sides of each conductor set, and the transition portions provide gradual transitions between the concentric portions and the pinched portions; and a first EMI absorbing layer disposed on the plurality of conductor sets; wherein each shielding film comprises a conductive layer ; a first one of the transition portions is proximate a first one of the one or more end insulated conductors and has a cross-sectional area A 1 defined as an area between the conductive layers of the first and second shielding films, the concentric portions, and a first one of the pinched portions proximate the first end insulated conductor, wherein A 1 is less than a cross-sectional area (1706 a ) of a central conductor of the first end insulated conductor; and each shielding film in transverse cross section comprises a radius of curvature that changes across the width of the cable, the radius of curvature for each of the shielding films being at least 100 micrometers across the width of the cable. <EOS>
