Abstract
A multi-line signal cable includes a plurality of signal lines, an inner conductive jacket and an outer insulating jacket. Each signal line includes a conductive core, a dielectric layer around the conductive core, and a metal shielding layer around the dielectric layer. The inner conductive jacket is sheathed on the signal lines such that the metal shielding layer of each of the signal lines is in direct electrical contact with the inner conductive jacket. The metal shielding layer of each of the signal lines and the inner conductive jacket are adapted to establish electrical connection with a metal casing of an electrical connector for grounding purposes when the multi-line signal cable is terminated by the electrical connector. The outer insulating jacket is sheathed on the inner conductive jacket.
