<p>A low cross-talk data cable and method of manufacturing the same, where a low-crosstalk data cable (5) includes a cable housing jacket (30) made of flexible insulating material for housing a multi-channel shielding member (20) and a plurality of conductors (10). A hollow multi-channel shielding member of the invention is formed during the cable pulling process from a single, flat, thin, self-adapting shielding tape. The multi-channel shielding member separates and prevents crosstalk between adjacent conductors. A grounded low-cross talk data cable is provided when a current drain wire is positioned down the center of the hollow multi-channel shielding member. Further, the low-crosstalk data cable may have a metallic outer shielding jacket positioned between the cable housing jacket and the combined conductor/multi-channel shielding member core. A second current drain wire may also be provided to enable grounding of the metallic outer shielding jacket. <IMAGE></p> |
