Abstract
An electrical cable includes a first conductor assembly having a first inner conductor and a first insulator engaging and surrounding a surface of the first inner conductor and a second conductor assembly having a second inner conductor and a second insulator engaging and surrounding a surface of the second inner conductor. The electrical cable includes a non-conductive buffer layer surrounding the conductor assemblies having an inner surface engaging the insulators and a conductive shield layer engaging and surrounding an outer surface of the non-conductive buffer layer and providing electrical shielding for the conductor assemblies. An outer jacket engages and surrounds the conductive shield layer.
