Abstract
A triax cable contact provides improved high frequency performance by terminating the outer screen of the cable to an outer contact arranged to engage a ground clip in the connector and thereby ground the outer screen to the shell of the connector rather than directly to a corresponding outer contact of a mating triax contact. This permits the distance between the inner and intermediate contacts to be increased without increasing the outer diameter of the contact.
