Abstract
Abstract A cable assembly in which a pair of cables are provided to carry the positive and negative signals between a power source and a load. Each cable consists of a conductor wrapped around a dielectric core, and a plurality of bundles of wire strands are twisted around the wrapped dielectric core. The wire strands forming each bundle are twisted in a first direction and the bundles are twisted around the solid conductor in a direction opposite the first direction. Insulation extends around the bundles of wire strands.
