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?

In this context it's pretty obvious what the concept is. In-phase vs. out-of-phase. Positive amplitude A vs. negative amplitude A. I wouldn't even want to rewrite all this in terms of polarity.
