## Abstract

A data transmission cable (2) comprises at least one pair of wires (4) comprising two wires (6) lying parallel to each other, each with an electrical conductor (8) surrounded by an insulation (10). The pair of wires (4) is sheathed over its length by a foil (12) with an electrically conducting inner side (14) and an electrically insulating outer side (16). To improve the electrical properties of the data transmission cable (2), the foil (12) has a longitudinal fold (18), so that the inner side (14) is directed outward, an additional wire (20), which contacts the inner side (14) made to face outward, being laid on the foil (12).

## Claims

### Claim at position 1

1-9. (canceled)

### Claim 10

A data transmission cable, comprising:
at least one wire pair with two wires lying parallel to each other, each of said wires having an electrical conductor surrounded by an insulation;
a foil annularly encasing said wire pair jointly over a length thereof, said foil having an electrically conductive inner side and an electrically insulating outer side;
said foil having a longitudinal fold exposing a portion of said inner side outwardly; and
an additional wire laid on said foil and contacting said portion of said inner side facing outward.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The data transmission cable according to claim 10, which further comprises a sheathing surrounding said foil and fixing said additional wire between said foil and said sheathing.

### Claim 12 (depends on 11)

The data transmission cable according to claim 11, wherein said sheathing is an adhesive film.

### Claim 13 (depends on 11)

The data transmission cable according to claim 11, wherein said sheathing is a braid.

### Claim 14 (depends on 10)

The data transmission cable according to claim 10, wherein said foil is a plastic-coated aluminum foil.

### Claim 15 (depends on 10)

The data transmission cable according to claim 10, wherein said additional wire is arranged in an interstitial region between said two wires of said wire pair.

### Claim 16 (depends on 10)

The data transmission cable according to claim 10, wherein said at least one wire pair is one of a plurality of wire pairs each having assigned thereto a respective said additional wire.

### Claim 17

A method of producing a data transmission cable with at least one wire pair having two wires lying parallel to one another and each being formed of an electrical conductor surrounded by an insulation, the method which comprises:
providing a foil with an electrically conducting inner side and an electrically insulating outer side;
forming a longitudinal fold on the foil so that the inner side is directed outward;
jointly sheathing the wire pair with the foil annularly over a length of the wire pair; and
laying an additional wire onto the foil in contact with the inner side of the foil made to face outward.

### Claim 18 (depends on 17)

The method according to claim 17, which comprises bringing the foil and the wire pair together jointly and parallel in a continuous process.
