Abstract
An improved internally screened cable is disclosed that not only provides efficient shielding to meet near-end cross-talk requirements in present day and anticipated future carrier systems, but also armor protection as well, both the shielding and armor protection arising out of a single metallic shielding tape composed of two layers of aluminum or copper metallurgically bonded to both surfaces of an iron or steel layer. The tape is corrugated and has a medial portion integrally joined to two terminal portions. The cable core is composed of two groups of conductors divided and shielded one from the other by the medial portion of the shielding tape. Terminal portions of the shield are bent in opposite directions and lie on the periphery of the groups of the core and extend to and beyond that point where the medial and terminal portions merge.
