Abstract
Novel shielded flat wire pair and cable implement flat, smooth conductors coated with insulation bonded together, providing rectangular cross-sections and equidistant, smooth surfaces for high frequency signal current flow. Flat wire pairs with conductive covers and symmetrically placed shield conductors in grooves between flat wires minimize intra-pair signal flow skew. Shielded flat wire pairs are placed within a cable assembly with adjacent wire pairs oriented orthogonally, minimizing crosstalk and rendering crosstalk common-mode. Such orientation of flat wire pairs is assisted by an internal separator, which may be electrically conductive and grounded providing enhanced pair to pair isolation. Presence of flat wire pairs and an internal separator in a cable positions additional single wires in the cable firmly against a grounded external shield, ensuring a predetermined impedance for these signal wires. Shielded flat wire pairs and cables of low metal content extend electrical signaling to the millimeter wave regimes.
