Abstract
The outer insulation on a cable to be terminated is removed leaving a section of exposed cable shield. An annular metal contact with a deformable circumferential flange is received on the cable and affixed (soldered) to the bare shield completely encircling the shield with a mechanical and electrical connection. A receiving tube slid onto the cable has a contoured end for receipt under the contact flange. A clamping ring is soldered, mechanically or electromagnetically formed over the flange and contoured end of the receiving tube. A cylindrical cap encloses the bare shield section and contact with thin-wall portions being deformed to tightly engage the receiving tube. The cable and outer end of the receiving tube are passed through an opening in a termination plate (e.g., ship deck) and the receiving tube is welded to the plate.
