Accordingly, as we have reversed the examiner’s rejection of

5 and 8. However, we again exercise our discretion to enter new
grounds of rejection as follows.

Under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a)
Claims 5 and 8 are newly rejected under 35 U.S.C. § 103(a) as
being unpatentable over JP ‘321 in view of JP ‘622, Townsend, and
Leef, further in view of FDJ.

a plurality of coaxial cables having a central conductor,
said coaxial cables being spirally wound about each other,
each of said coaxial cables comprising an insulation layer
wound about said conductor, a laterally wound shielding layer
formed of a plurality of wires wound at a predetermined pitch
around said insulation layer, and a tape wound over said
shielding layer, said tape including a plastic tape and a
metal layer which is deposited on said plastic tape, said
metal layer being in contact with said shielding layer; and
an outer cover layer formed over said spirally wound coaxial
cables.
Claim 8 reads as follows:
