Shielded flat pair cable architecture

A method for crosstalk minimization, comprising:

• Providing wire pairs comprised of rectangular conductors and conforming insulation covers bonded immovably to each other, with such wire pairs placed adjacent to one another within a cable such that rectangular conductors within a wire pair are orthogonal in orientation to rectangular conductors within an adjacent wire pair;
• where signal energy from a wire pair with conductors of a first orientation is cancelled out when coupling into conductors of an adjacent wire pair of a second orthogonal orientation, and signal energy from a conductor in the second orthogonally oriented wire pair couples as common-mode noise into conductors of the wire pair of the first orientation.

A method, for eliminating signal timing skew in conductors of a cable, comprising the use of untwisted wire pairs, comprised of rectangular conductors and conforming insulation covers bonded immovably to each other, placed adjacent to and equidistant from each other alone the length of the cable, such that all wire pairs within said cable are oriented orthogonal to each other, and all conductors within the cable have the same physical length and electrical properties.
