On ATA100 cables those two are grounded; ie, every signal cable has a ground cable on each side, so there is very little crosstalk. If that ribbon cable is converted to a tube, all that is lost.
It is not ribbon converted to a tube, round cable is made of twisted pairs.
It is, however, possible to buy shielded rounded cables which don't suffer from this cross-talk.
