Patent ID: 7060905

Claim:
An electrical cable having a local longitudinal axis and comprising: a central conductor structure comprising an electrically conducting central conductor, a layer of a central conductor insulation overlying the central conductor, and an electrically conducting central conductor shield overlying the layer of central conductor insulation; a plurality of spiral conductor structures overlying and spirally wrapped around the central conductor structure, wherein each spiral conductor structure retains a same pair of circumferentially adjacent spiral conductor structures along a length of the electrical cable, wherein each of the spiral conductor structures comprises an electrically conducting spiral conductor, and a spiral conductor insulation overlying the spiral conductor, wherein the spiral conductor structures have no electrically conducting shielding, wherein at least some of the spiral conductor structures have different signal-carrying identities, and wherein at least some of the spiral conductor structures having different signal-carrying identities are arranged responsive to a crosstalk threat between the various spiral conductor structures; an electrically conducting outer shield overlying the plurality of spiral conductors; and an outer insulation overlying the electrically conducting outer shield.
