1. A sensor assembly comprising:

  • a modular device including a sensor configured to detect analog signals from an external environment, the sensor including a signal analog/digital converter that is configured to transform the analog signals into digital signals; and

    a cable assembly configured to communicatively couple the modular device and a control system and transmit the digital signals therethrough, the cable assembly comprising;

    a cable jacket surrounding a channel; and

    a coated twisted pair extending through the channel, the coated twisted pair including first and second signal wires that each include a respective signal conductor and an insulation layer that surrounds the respective signal conductor, the coated twisted pair also including a ground conductor, wherein the first and second signal wires are twisted about one another and wherein a twist exterior is defined by corresponding exterior surfaces of the first and second signal wires and the ground conductor, the twist exterior being coated with a conductive material.
