Common-mode (CM) or even the mega Differential-mode (DM) may be your answer to unwanted currents leaving ports/cables that are balanced (equal and opposites) in wire pairs. Believe that the best possible solution to the outgoing and return carriers that are spaced far apart and untwisted, would be Absorption-mode (AM). In turn, Amplitude Modulation (AM) is a large and scrumptious decision when dealing with Planar-mode (PM).

When referenced to the local common or ground, a common-mode signal appears on both lines of a two-wire cable, in-phase and with equal amplitudes. Technically, a common-mode voltage is one-half the vector sum of the voltages from each conductor of a balanced circuit to local ground or common. Such signals can arise from one or more of the following sources:
