Abstract
A star-quad cable for transmitting electrical signals, having at least two pairs of conductors, each conductor having one wire made of an electrically conductive material and a conductor sheath radially enclosing the wire and made of an electrically insulating material, the conductors being arranged on the corners of a square in a cross-section, with the conductors of a pair arranged on diagonally opposite corners of the square, wherein four conductors are twisted at a predetermined stranding factor; and a shield made of an electrically conductive material and enclosing the two pairs of conductors is arranged radially on the outside, constructed from a weave of individual shield wires. At least one shield wire or at least one shield wire bundle is stranded radially enclosing the conductors such that they run in the axial direction substantially parallel to a wire of a conductor.
