Abstract
Ends of electrical conductors 5 of an electrical cable are joined to corresponding self terminating, shielded connectors 4, each comprising, a conductive shell 20 connected to at least one corresponding sheath 8, a dielectric support 29 in the shell 20, a conductive switch contact 23 connected to a corresponding signal transmitting conductor 5 and carried by the dielectric support 29 for disconnect connection to an electrical contact inserted into the shielded connector 4, and an electrical circuit element 24 in contact with the shell 20 constructed for disconnect coupling with the switch contact 23 upon withdrawal of the electrical contact from the shielded connector 4, whereby the switch contact 23 is terminated electrically to the shell 20 through the circuit element 24.
