Abstract
The subject invention relates to a new connector assembly design for making a low resistance, stable electrical connection to a plastic coated aluminum shield adhering to and underlying polyethylene jacket of telephone cables. When the connector in accordance with the invention is applied across the composite sheath, it eliminates the creep strain exhibited by the polyethylene jacket and aluminum shield and results in a stable low resistance electrical connection, which is essential for noise-free operation of the cable and good lightning protection of enclosed telephone circuits.
