Abstract
Abstract An electromagnetic field compensated cable having an electrically insulating casing (20, 40, 50) includes a structure (21-22, 41, 51) that effects cancellation of electric and/or magnetic field components due to current flow through the cable. One configuration includes a central twisted pair of insulated leads (21, 22) wherein only one end of each of the leads (23, 24) is terminated in a connector (25, 26). Another configuration has a central structure of conductive wire of alternating rectangular shape. (41, 51).
