Abstract
A high speed data transmission cable comprises a pair of primary cables positioned adjacent to each other along their lengths with each primary cable including a pair of generally parallel conductors coupled together and surrounded by insulation. A shield layer surrounds each primary cable along its length to isolate the primary cables from each other. The primary cables and corresponding shield layers are twisted together around a center axis and form a double helical structure, thereby providing improved transmission characteristics in the high speed data transmission cable.
