High-speed cable having increased current return uniformity and method of making same

A cable comprising:

• a first axial cable having an inner diameter portion and an outer diameter portion and including a conductor surrounded by a dielectric material;
• a second axial cable having an inner diameter portion and an outer diameter portion and including a conductor surrounded by a dielectric material, the second axial cable being arranged such that a portion of the inner diameter thereof contacts the inner diameter portion of the first axial cable;
• a drain conductor disposed between at least a portion of the inner diameter portion of the first axial cable and the inner diameter portion of the second axial cable;
• a first smooth and non-currogated foil layer contacting at least a portion of the outer diameter portion of the first axial cable;
• a second smooth and non-currogated foil layer contacting at least a portion of the outer diameter portion of the second axial cable;
• and
• a metal outer foil layer which surrounds the first axial cable, the second axial cable, the first foil layer and the second foil layer;
• wherein the first foil layer does not contact the second foil layer.
