Abstract
An electrical cable includes a second strand, and a third strand braided together. The first and second strands are electrically conductive and electrically insulated from each other, and the third strand is electrically non-conductive. The geometry imparted to the conductive strands by the braided configuration results in the cable exhibiting improved noise rejection, lower inductance per unit length, reduced signal attenuation and reduced resistance compared with cables having twisted or parallel pairs of conductive strands. The cable is particularly suited to audio, video and computer applications. Cables that have larger numbers of strands braided together, and multilayer cables are also described.
