Abstract: |
A flexible shielded cable (20). The cable includes an elongate flexible metal conductor (24) and a layer of a flexible dielectric material (26) disposed about the conductor. The cable has a flexible metallic shield (28) positioned about the dielectric material with the shield including a copper foil (30) having overlapping edges (36) and a copper, spirally served shield (32) about the foil. A layer of metal bonds together the overlapping edges, bonds the spirally served shield and the foil and closes the openings of the spirally served shield. A method of forming a metallic shield is also disclosed.
