1. A grounded and shielded cable configured to absorb high frequency components of interfering signals comprising:
one or more core conductors;
insulation surrounding the one or more core conductors;
an electromagnetic shield comprising at least (i) one or more outer conductive shield layers composed of a first material composition, (ii) one or more inner insulating layers, and (iii) one or more inner conductive shield layers composed of a second material composition, wherein:
the second material composition is dissimilar to the first material composition;
the electromagnetic shield is wrapped around the insulation such that the one or more inner conductive shield layers of the first material composition electrically contact the one or more outer conductive shield layers of the second material composition over an overlapped portion of the electromagnetic shield and form an electrical ground return path; and
the electromagnetic shield is configured to create a local, coupling capacitance between the one or more outer conductive shield layers and the one or more inner conductive shield layers to electromagnetically shield the one or more core conductors from the interfering signals;
an outer insulating layer; and
an adhesive layer between the outer insulating layer and the electromagnetic shield, the adhesive layer comprising a plurality of separated, diamond-shaped sections.
