1. A flexible cable, comprising:
- a plurality of conductors formed on a common base;
a dielectric material disposed about the plurality of conductors; and
a shielding material disposed adjacent the dielectric material;
wherein at least one of the plurality of conductors includes an unshielded portion, implemented using microstrip technology, not overlaid by the shielding material and further including a first section with a first flexibility and a second section with a second flexibility, wherein the first flexibility is greater than the second flexibility, and the locations of the first and second sections correspond to the physical routing of the flexible cable; and
at least one of the plurality of conductors includes a shielded portion, implemented using stripline technology, overlaid by the shielding material.
