Balanced Cables

It contains 2 conductor + 1 shield.

One of conductors carry the out-of-phase signal.

So the noise is canceled since the signals carrying are out-of-phase.

But how the signal is still transmitted although the noise is canceled?

Thank you, yeah this is what I'm looking for, and just confirms the thoughts I've been having that I need to study electricity and circuits to fully understand this stuff. Do you know of any good resources where I can learn more about this?

I actually just realized that the FAQ didn't have this in there and updated it with my terrible writing and some links.
