A shielded electrical cable is disclosed. The cable includes a plurality of conductor sets that extend along the length of the cable and are spaced apart from each other along the width of the cable. Each conductor set includes one or more insulated conductors, and first and second shielding films that are disposed on opposite first and second sides of the cable. The first and second films include cover portions and pinched portions arranged such that, in transverse cross section, the cover portions of the first and second films in combination substantially surround each conductor set, and the pinched portions of the first and second films in combination form pinched portions of the cable on each side of each conductor set. Each conductor set also includes an EMI absorbing layer that is disposed on the first side of the cable, and an adhesive layer that bonds the first shielding film to the second shielding film in the pinched portions of the cable. The plurality of conductor sets includes a first conductor set that includes neighboring first and second insulated conductors and has corresponding first cover portions of the first and second shielding films and corresponding first pinched portions of the first and second shielding films that form a first pinched region of the cable on one side of the first conductor set. The maximum separation between the first cover portions of the first and second shielding films is D. The minimum separation between the first pinched portions of the first and second shielding films is d1. d1/D is less than 0.25. The minimum separation between the first cover portions of the first and second shielding films in a region between the first and second insulated conductors is d2. d2/D is greater than 0.33.
