Abstract
A conductor protector for providing crush resistant support to the conductors in a cable and implementing a ground connection between the metallic shield of a cable and a common ground point employs an elongated, trough-like member composed of electrically conductive, structurally rigid material particularly adapted for use in conjunction with cable shield ground clamps. Conductive extensions project from one end of the conductor protector to provide a conductive path between the cable shield and a location exterior of the cable jacket, eliminating the need to remove the jacket prior to assembly into a ground clamp.
