High speed data cable with shield connection

A high speed cable, having a raw cable having a first end and a second end, and a first and second terminating assemblies at the first and second ends of the raw cable respectively, the high speed cable comprising:

• a ground wire;
• a signal wire;
• and
• a conductive layer enclosing the ground wire and the signal wire;
• the ground wire, the signal wire and the conductive layer extending between the first and second ends and extending into the first and second terminating ends;
• and
• first and second inductive elements coupled between the conductive layer and the ground wire in the first and second terminating assemblies respectively, wherein the first inductive element electrically couples the conductive layer with the ground wire in the first terminating assembly and the second inductive element electrically couples the conductive layer with the ground wire in the second terminating assembly, so that the conductive layer provides a conductive path in parallel with the ground wire to shunt the ground wire with the conductive layer in said terminating assemblies.
