Abstract

The instant disclosure relates to a high frequency signal transmission device which includes an insulation cover, at least one flexible flat cable, and an electrical connector assembly. The insulation cover has an accommodation space, the at least one flexible flat cable is disposed in the accommodation space, and the electrical connector assembly is electrically connected to one end of the at least one flexible flat cable. The at least one flexible flat cable includes a plurality of conductors, an insulation layer, a polyolefin resin layer, and a shielding layer. The insulation layer is laminated over the conductors. The polyolefin resin layer is attached to the insulation layer by a first low-k dielectric adhesive layer, and the shielding layer is attached to the polyolefin resin layer by another first low-k dielectric adhesive layer.
