Abstract

A multi-conductor screened electric cable in which each conductor may be connected in parallel to an elelctrical contact without having to break the cable. Such connections are made in predetermined zones of the cable. All of the conductors of the predetermined zones are parallel and lie in a plane. In addition to its insulated conductors, the cable includes an uninsulated conductor element (5) providing electrical continuity for its screening (6), and also making it possible to make an electrical contact with the screening. The insulated conductors (3, 4) and the uninsulated conductor element (8) are disposed at predetermined accurate distances relative to one another. The cable is particularly suitable for computer networks.
