Abstract

A ground plane cable assembly (10) includes a flat ribbon cable (12) and a ground plane (18) sandwiching a dielectric spacer (20) therebetween wherein several openings are provided in the dielectric spacer (20) to lower the capacitance between the flat ribbon cable (12) and the ground plane (18) so that the impedance of the whole cable assembly (10) can be raised to a relative high value without increasing the thickness of the dielectric spacer (20).
