Cable and cable assembly

A cable, comprising:

• a pair of insulated core wires extending parallel to each other in a longitudinal direction, each of the insulated core wires has a central conductor and a core insulation layer wrapped around the central conductor in a circumferential direction;
• an inner insulation layer wrapped around the core insulation layers of the pair of insulated core wires, the core insulation layers of the pair of insulated core wires abut against each other on outer circumferential surfaces thereof at a pair of first sides of the core insulation layers facing toward each other;
• a metal shielding layer wrapped around an outer circumferential surface of the inner insulation layer, a gap being formed between the metal shielding layer and the inner insulation layer;
• an outer insulation layer wrapped around an outer circumferential surface of the metal shielding layer;
• and
• a single drain wire in contact with an end of the metal shielding layer and disposed between the metal shielding layer and the outer insulation layer, the single drain wire is located at a second side of the core insulation layer of one of the pair of insulated core wires facing away from the other of the pair of insulated core wires in a radial direction.
