Abstract
Apparatus for terminating an elongate, insulatively jacketed, shielded cable of type having a signal conductor and a drain wire, includes a member for receiving said cable therein and compressible onto the received cable to resist mutual longitudinal movement therebetween, the member providing longitudinal shielding for the cable, permitting passage of the signal conductor therethrough and defining exterior surface for disposition of the drain wire. A connector housing defines a channel for retentively receiving the compressible member with the cable therein, the housing including a deformable wall bounding the channel and responsive to deforming force applied thereto both for compressing the compressible member onto the cable and for electrically interconnecting the drain wire and the housing.
