Electronic – Shielded breadboard jumper cable wires

cablescoaxjtagshieldingsignal integrity

Does it exist a shielded version of 2.54mm pitch breadboard jumper cable wires?
Thin flexible wires, Gauge AWG 24-28. I want use shielded wires for JTAG cable, to reduce electrical noise from affecting the signals, minimize capacitively coupled noise from other electrical sources, the shield act as screening only.

EDIT: I find the suitable cable, from TE Connectivity / Raychem. P/N 55A1114-26-9-9CS2275 Unfortunately, it's non-stocked, very difficult to obtain.

You could use shielded 1.27mm pitch ribbon cable with IDC connectors. Cut off all but the pins on either end of GND/Vcc(optional) side of the IDC (breadboard end of the cable). There will be grounds between each signal conductor, but the ends won't be connected on the breadboard side except for one.

If you can't find short lengths of the shielded cable at a reasonable price (last time I recall several hundred dollars for a small spool), you can wrap copper tape with conductive adhesive around a regular ribbon cable.

This is probably okay for maybe 20MHz with 6" of cable.
