Abstract

The present invention provides a non-braided shielded drop cable that can be easily attached to a standard connector. The cable includes a cable core including a center conductor and a dielectric layer surrounding the center conductor, a first electrically conductive shield surrounding the cable core and bonded thereto, a second electrically conductive shield surrounding the first shield, and a cable jacket surrounding the second shield and bonded thereto. An interstitial layer is located between the first and second shields and is composed of axially displaceable elongate strands and is typically composed of helically served yarns or metal wires. The present invention also includes a method of making a shielded cable.
