Abstract
Aspects of the present invention provide shielded cables for reducing the incidence of ground loops between connected electronic devices. According to one aspect of the present invention, a shielded cable is disclosed having two inner shield segments and an outer shield. The inner shield segments can each be grounded, but are physically separated from each other by a gap. The external shield is not grounded, and serves to contain EMI generated by signal conductors within the shielded cable and shield the signal conductors against external electrical events.
