Abstract

The invention relates to a flat cable for transmitting high bit rate signals including at least one pair of individually insulated conductors, a layer having at least one groove and a conductive grounding member located on the surface of each groove. This cable includes two conductors each individually twisted with a short lay and thus maintained juxtaposed in the same groove of the layer. Application to cables for local area networks of computers working at frequencies that can attain 100 MHz.
