Abstract
There is provided a cable sheath connector for use with a communication cable of the type having a plurality of insulated conductor wires held in cylindrical form by an inner insulating plastic film wrapped tightly around the connectors and a thin metallic shield placed over the plastic film with a final outer protective cover. The connector includes an inner base and stud member, and an outer clamp member. The outer clamp member has an elongated body portion in cross section with projections extending inwardly, each of the projections having a flat contact area which will penetrate the outer protective cover of a cable and maintain metal to metal contact with the metal shield without piercing the shield. The outer clamp maintains compressive load on the shield clamped between the inner base and the outer clamp.
