Abstract

A method of manufacturing shielded flat cable comprising a plurality of tape form conductors, arranged in a horizontal plane, and in parallel fashion, and insulation cladding which covers the surfaces of the conductors and is unitary in structure, and using a cladding cable which is formed by the placing of a tear-away wire, comprising materials having a greater physical strength than the insulation cladding, between at least one of the plurality of the conductors and the insulation cladding covering this conductor, in which, in the exposure of a conductor which is overlaid by the tear-away wire, the tear-away wire, along with the area of the insulation cladding which overlays this tear-away wire, is pulled in an angled direction with respect to the surface, and after this a shield layer comprising conductive materials and having a tape form is laid on the surface of the cladding cable and the shield layer is brought into electrical contact with the exposed conductor.
